To be fuming at DP

[Talktooomuch]

My DP works shifts so his body clock is all over the place. However he’s been off for a few days and is still lying in bed right now. Seriously contemplating leaving as I cba spending my weekend alone whilst he sleeps all day.
AIBU?

If you leave you'll be spending your weekends alone anyway.

Why not just go and do what you wanted to do?

Go out and have a brilliant afternoon (+evening?).

Night shifts really have a crap impact on the body and mind. It takes my adult dd days to recover from working nights. Maybe cut him some slack, go out on your own .

I'm with you, OP. You're supposed to be life partners, presumably. That means spending your lives together. Not every minute of every day, but there's no point if you never spend any time together at all.

YANBU, life is too short, dump him and find someone with more life in them.

I think your boyfriend has plopped on the thread.

Better to be single than feeling alone in a relationship.

😂

I don’t wait around for him to get up! This morning I’ve cleaned the house, been to the gym and had a coffee with a friend. It’s more I feel second priority and I’m bored of never spending time together (I work mon-fri in a demanding job)

I don't understand waiting for someone to entertain you.

If you have made plans together today then fair enough but otherwise I'd go out if I wanted to

Or you could ask him to come out?

Nope, I'm not her boyfriend. I'm a pensioner in my seventies.

If you're contemplating leaving your partner over something so minor, I can't imagine that your relationship is great to begin with. I really don't mean for this to be rude, but I have to wonder if there is more to it.

Depends. If it’s all the time then YANBU. If this is the first or rare time he does this then YABU, might be not feeling so well or coming down with something. Go and do something on your own or with a friend

Many moons ago, I had a LDR and I'd flown over to his country's capital city to meet him for the new year period and he spent every day in bed until about 2pm. I sat and fiddled my thumbs for the first day waiting for him to get up, but after that, I got up and out and explored the city on my own.

He didn't work nights or shifts but was just a lazy sod and it put me right off him and that was the end of that

Grow up, the poor guy works nights. Its really tough on your body clock

This. He's lying in bed not having a jolly. Fgs some people.

This

He works two nights every ten days, and he hasn’t been on a night shift for days. It’s not just about lying in bed is it, more that I feel our relationship is at the bottom of his priority list.
he regularly stays up till 3/4am watching YouTube and then sleeps all day 😤

That would annoy me, too.
