Your opinions on Person A and/or Person B would be appreciated.
Person A can’t sleep and gets up in the night to sleep in another bed in the house. In the morning Person B wakes up, checks the time on their phone, sees some Facebook notifications, checks them, goes to the loo and goes back to bed. Person B hears Person A is awake, checks their phone and notices Person A was active on Facebook. Person B is annoyed because Person A has not come to seek them out and has been on Facebook. Person B goes to the marital bedroom. Person A asks Person B if they could not sleep and asks for a hug. Person B refuses and says that Person A does not deserve a hug because they put Facebook ahead of them when they woke up.

Person B is completely ridiculous

ForeignAss · 01/07/2018 18:05

Person B is being VU.

itsBritneyBeach · 01/07/2018 18:10

Did person A leave the bed or person B, I'm a bit confused?! However whoever "B" is needs to get a grip Grin

OrdinaryGirl · 01/07/2018 18:11

This is amazing. I am giggling here on my sofa.
Person B's got issues man. 😄

TwitterQueen1 · 01/07/2018 18:14

I think you've got your As and Bs mixed up. It's all too silly anyway. Grow up the pair of you. And get of FB. Hun. Lolz. xxxx

TwitterQueen1 · 01/07/2018 18:15

off FB, not of.

Idontbelieveinthemoon · 01/07/2018 18:18

Person B needs a throat punch, person A shouldn't have to ask for a hug (and it's absolutely not normal for hugs to be given in any sort of correlation with Facebook activity/lack of, because that's just not something a functional adult would do).

OrdinaryGirl · 01/07/2018 18:20

Ahem:
Person A, you put a knife in the dishwasher the wrong way up. For this reason you have forfeited a shoulder pat.
I have also noted you greeted the cat on arrival home from work, instead of first seeking me out from my sulking cave shed in the garden. For this you have been docked 3 cheeky bum-squeezes.
Finally, you will forgo 3 lingering smooches in the ad breaks for your appallingly failure to provide sufficient sympathy about the bit on the back of my tennis shoes that rubbed after 30 minutes and cost me the match against Tim with the monobrow in HR.

@OrdinaryGirl omg Grin😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant

OpenThatTrapDoor · 01/07/2018 20:03

Think A & B got confused somewhere in there, but they’ve both been on Facebook, and arguing over Facebook is ridiculous so just have a hug and make up.

ChipsAndKetchup · 01/07/2018 21:07

Crickey. How will you both cope when you have real problems?

henpeckedinchief · 01/07/2018 22:59

You've mixed up who did what maybe? Either way whoever is sulking because of Facebook needs to get a grip and stop being so tedious

MyOtherProfile · 01/07/2018 23:01

Somehow left the marital bed? I thought person A but person B went back to it?

Thehop · 01/07/2018 23:02

You can’t be married.

No married person wakes up and wants a hug.

HarryDresdensLeatherDuster · 01/07/2018 23:02

Who actually gives a flying fuck????? REALLY??

Ameliablue · 01/07/2018 23:05

Makes no sense

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 01/07/2018 23:06

You seem to have mixed up A and B half way through the story

My opinion is that the person sulking in the morning that their partner has been on FB before seeking them out sounds very needy and hard work (unsure if that is A or B)

Justneedsomeinfo · 01/07/2018 23:07

I'm confused think the As and Bs are a bit mixed up? Both A and B Silly anyway.

twattymctwatterson · 01/07/2018 23:11

But hold on, both A and B are checking Facebook before speaking to the other one? Anyway B or whoever is throwing a tantrum is a lunatic and controlling

CornishMaid1 · 01/07/2018 23:12

Person B is being unreasonable for being mad at Person A for checking Facebook before going to check on B when B also checked Facebook before going to check on A.

B should have given A a hug and both should not be so odd that they have to check Facebook the second they wake up.

steff13 · 01/07/2018 23:20

I feel like you switched the people in the middle then switched back? Regardless, whoever told the other person they didn't "deserve" a hug is in the wrong. Withholding affection from your spouse as some form of punishment is a shitty thing to do.

mavismcruet · 02/07/2018 00:14

Person B sounds very needy and immature.

Using terms such as seeking out and marital bedroom is a little peculiar/skin crawly.

Refusing to give person A a hug because they were on Facebook, (even though person B was on Facebook too) is quite controlling.

Which person are you OP?

Walkingdeadfangirl · 02/07/2018 00:17

Your both being unreasonable to be addicted to Facebook.

Ilovecamping · 02/07/2018 00:19

Leave the phone downstairs

EmergencyBanana · 02/07/2018 00:53

Person A might sleep better if they stopped checking FB whilst in bed. Leave the phones downstairs. The non hugging person must be under 10
