To dread DP staying at my house?

Whenever DP stays at my house I get no sleep as he's up and down all night for the toilet/drinks/snacks. I swear he must get up at least 4 times throughout the night and then he'll get up ridiculously early on the Sunday morning (like 5.30/6am) and "try and stay quiet" by getting up, asking if I'm awake, whispering do I want a coffee etc so inevitably I end up getting up too before 7am (on a sunday!!!)

AIBU to actually dread him coming over because I know I won't sleep?

Did you post this before? It's very familiar...

I remember this before as well..

Me too.

Ooohhh...i could almost be your DP. Up every five minutes to pee, up and about at 5am when I can no longer be bothered trying to sleep. I'm a bit more considerate of Himself though and do try not to disturb him too much.

From your other thread, he doesn't sound like much of a catch. He's tight with money and he disturbs your sleep.

How utterly selfish ! I'd have to kill him ! Well, maybe just leave the bastard...And no, in case you were wondering, whispering at you to offer coffee early next morning is NOT a kind thing to do. It's manipulative, designed to shut you up from complaining about having disturbed you in the first place.

He is a selfish idiot. Get rid.

OK, rapidly losing sympathy with you, now...

What exactly do you hope to achieve by posting about your hopeless boyfriend?

What do you want us to say? Confused Is it just tea and sympathy you're after? I suspect so...

Have seen you post on this before.

can I suggest you take up your boyfriends offer of coffee (ask him to make it a strong one), then think about ending this relationship , talking to him about these issues (and if he won't /can't improve then end relationship) or just grin and bear it.

But repeatedly going through same problems and not doing anything about it means it's becoming more an issue about what you do (or won't do) rather than him.

Just end it with him. How hard can it be? It is not like you are living together, or having children together, and nor are you abused and manipulated. Ending a bad relationship, or communicating this to him in a way that makes him change his behaviour should not be rocket science.
