For getting pissed off with DP's "over sensitivity"?

Ok this is either me being a bitch or him being a wuss but either way Ive name changed incase im in the wrong Grin its all about DP in bed. If he's dozing off and I speak, he jumps a mile, I mean he literally jumps like someone had just gone mental with a drum kit all of a sudden, even if I whisper, he'll completely over-react and make out that I'd shouted in his ear. It pisses me off because sometimes all I want to do is say something like "did you turn the alarm on?" and he'll jump a mile and start shouting "eh??? what?? what???" Hmm I've never known anyone do this. Last night we were laid in bed, just had sex, lights are off, I turn to face him, move towards him slowly to give him a kiss and he jumps a mile (he was awake!!!), moves away quickly and says "what are you doing??? you made me jump" he never kisses me either which pisses me off. Its not normal is it? its like when he gets out of the shower he stands there all crunched over like an old man shivering. He's only 37 ffs.
If it turns out Im right, I'll change my name back to my regular name Grin

why is a man is called a drip and a and to be made fun of, but a woman would probaably get lots of sympathy and told to go for counselling or something?

and yes I do have a sense of humour and I know you're being funny, but it might be a serious problem.

yabu, dp hearing is much more acute than mine, sometime I can think I'm quiet when actually I'm quiet loud, especially in the dead of night.

I also go though quite a twitchy phse when I'm nodding off, wake me at this point and I will jump cos I'm not expecting it and I might be confused over whether I'm awake and asleep if that makes sense. If you've only just started sleeping together IN A NEW PLACE, this could be worse with confusion over where you are.

"its like when he gets out of the shower he stands there all crunched over like an old man shivering. He's only 37 ffs"
Shock you're critising him for how he gets out the shower?

The only complaint I would have is the no kissing...

Honeydragon, are we married to the same man??

DH snores for England, esp. on the sofa late at night, but if I say (in a quiet voice) "DH, you're snoring" I get a

'WHAAaaa?' and a jump/reflexive flinging of arms and legs in the air, followed swiftly by a glare and a 'Jesus christ, woman, why would you want to frighten me like that!' or words to that effect. Then it becomes my fault, y'see....

I am SO going to do the jumper trick...
