To have got my coat and walked out?

DP invited me around to his house at the weekend. Idea was that I get a babysitter arranged and stay the night at his house saturday until sunday.

So i got the kids to the babysitter and got to his house. He didn't offer me a drink or anything, just had us sat watching crap old movies and spongebob (I once commented that I found spongebob funny ) on TV all afternoon. I was bored stiff.

Then towards the evening where we had plans for a bottle of wine and a takaway, I turned to him to see his fast asleep next to me on the sofa

So I got my coat and left a note saying:

"No offense but if I arranged a babysitter so we could have some time together. If you're just going to fall asleep, I'm sure there's more interesting stuff I could be doing at home". And I left.

Thing is, if it was an isolated incident it wouldn't have been too bad but he fell asleep last weekend when I was there too and a few nights ago he sent me a text saying "sorry I didn't phone, I fell asleep"

I can't be doing with lazy people and if he's going to be one of these people that constantly "needs a nap" then I want out. My ex was a lazy bastard and I'm not going to put up with it again.

But was the note a bit harsh?

No. Good Call.

WinkyWinkola · 23/04/2009 20:44

No, not harsh.

He does sound a wee bit dull though. Couldn't you have gone out together for the evening? Did you suggest doing something different?

How long have you been together? Sounds like you could do with a bit of zing and zip in your relationship!

AnyFucker · 23/04/2009 20:47

no, he sounds like a right bore

you should have had a lovely evening out together, or at home shagging like bunnies

he fell asleep? pathetic

5Foot5 · 23/04/2009 20:48

Well I can see why you were upset but maybe you were a bit harsh to just walk out leaving a note.

Couldn't you have tried waking him up instead?

cheshirekitty · 23/04/2009 20:48

Why is he napping all the time? Maybe he needs to be checked at the docs to make sure he does not have an underlying illness, ie diabetes etc.

Hell no. Good on you.

ever had of sleeping sickness caused by tsetse fly.

sleeplessinstretford · 23/04/2009 20:50

i'd be more worried that i was sending people to sleep to be honest...
i went for a meal once with this guy who was quite ok when i met him-he was a friend of a friend and she set us up-he became a right dickhead at the meal,so much so that having sat through his card tricks during the starter i asked the waitress if they'd started to cook the mains and if not not to bother with mine-i just said 'i think i am going to go,it's not me,it's you..' and left twenty quid and fucked off-it was a waste of a babysit to be honest

sleeping sickness doesn't make you boring

How long have you been together?

I would've left as well but probably long before you did ie you watched a movie and sponge bob all afternoon??

nametaken · 23/04/2009 20:53

I absolutely do not blame you one little bit. Don't go round his house, make him take you somewhere nice.

morningpaper · 23/04/2009 21:58

I blame you for walking out of this thread though cheeky mare

macdoodle · 23/04/2009 22:07

I fall asleep on DP all the time
In my defence I am a working single mother of 2, with a lunatic XH, and lots of financial worries, I sleep very badly most of the time!
However when DP is here, its the only time I feel relaxed and safe and tend to doze off I really hope he doesnt take offense, but we do shag like bunnies all the time

You were there all afternoon and he didn't offer you a drink? He needs a lesson in basic manners imo

YANBU at all! Did he expect you to pour drinks or something? My P once fell asleep in the middle of a row (ok my mouth was running but still). I was furious!
