Am I being too sensitive about him doing this

My partner moved in a few weeks ago and keeps sleeping anywhere apart from in bed with me. Sometimes he'll come to bed but 90% of the time he prefers to fall asleep on the sofa and last night he got drunk and stumbled into the spare room. He said sorry the next morning but I was feeling a bit off about it. I try not to let things like it bother me but tonight I said I'm off to bed as we both have work and he was nodding off but he's said he's staying up because otherwise he'll get up to early :-(
All I want is a cuddle and tell me he loves me :'-(

Tell him that!

FlissyPaps · 07/04/2022 22:31

How long have you been together OP?

Did he stop over a lot before he moved in?

Rememberitwell · 07/04/2022 22:32

Very weird.

Alicew00 · 07/04/2022 22:36

I just went to try and he made another excuse. I said shall I go away and he said well no. But I could tell he didn't want me there. :''(

Why doesn’t he want you there? What is he doing?

Alicew00 · 07/04/2022 22:37

He said what's up and I just said I keep falling off sofa (because he was laid down). He's fell back asleep on sofa

He must be just tired out?

Before he moved in what did he do if he stayed over?

GroggyLegs · 07/04/2022 22:40

How did moving in happen?

Was it because you were very much in love & are planning a LT future, or was it for financial reasons/ his landlord gave notice/ an ultimatum?

Lampan · 07/04/2022 22:42

Is it your house? Did he need somewhere to live?

Alicew00 · 07/04/2022 22:42

He always came to bed

OP posts:
Alicew00 · 07/04/2022 22:44

No he had somewhere to live. He said it was because he loves me and he's been helping get the house nice for us and has more plans for it to be nicer/have repairs done

Have a conversation. Tell him how you feel. Ask him what’s going on.

FlissyPaps · 07/04/2022 22:55

How old are you both OP? & How long have you been together?

SomePosters · 07/04/2022 22:59

This may not be his thing at all but I am a person who needs so time not touched in a day

I choose to have my own bed as a hard limit and share as a choice night by night. Rather than expectation.

Thats because I did a lot of self work after doing things like your partner as a way to try and have a quiet min because I didn’t know how to identify what I actually needed or how to make it happen

AHungryCaterpillar · 07/04/2022 23:01

Did he want to move in? Or was you pushing
For it ?

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 07/04/2022 23:03

Is he an alcoholic?

Wheresmywoolyjumpers · 07/04/2022 23:36

You need to have an open minded talk about what is going on. Some people don't sleep as well with other people but he may be finding it hard to say this to you, or even admit it to himself. I would always want a bed to myself to be honest, I find it really hard to sleep well with another person in the bed. It is not necessarily about the other person, but if they snore, or fidget, it makes it even worse.
