in hating 'cuddles' in the morning?!

[LittleLurker]

I have been with DH for many years now, and we get on brilliantly, and have a lovely relationship together. For as long as I?ve known him, he always worked nights, meaning that he would come back from work at about 6am completely shattered, and get straight into bed and fall asleep. I would wake up for work at 8am, get ready quietly and slip out to work. Things worked perfectly.

Now he has got a new job, and now works ?days?. He has to get up at 7am, which means every morning at 7am he wakes up, rolls over, and starts cuddling me. Which wakes me up. So every morning I now end up waking up at 7am instead of 8am, and I hate this. I am quite a brat about my sleep, and really not a morning person!

I?ve tried to bring it up nicely, and explaining that perhaps we could skip the ?morning cuddles? because I don?t like being woken up before I have to be, but he is very affectionate and says he has a rubbish day and doesn?t like going to work without ?morning cuddles?.

Im very tactile and affectionate the rest of the day (just not mornings) and really have started to resent him in the mornings!!

So?. Let me have it?.. AIBU?

If its just a cuddle rather than sex then I think you are being a teeny bit unreasonable but if you really really cant stand it then I suppose he cant force you to "cuddle" back!

YANBU

Tell him to desist with the cuddles, as a punch in the face often offends

I like morning sex - am I odd then?

you are much too polite! DH often gets a 'you are too close to me!' hissed message when he tries to spoon and i am too too tired to be touched. we bought a bigger bed specifically so i could be human contact-free when necessary.

next time he tries it, give him a pillow to cuddle, get out of bed, take the duvet, repair to the sofa/spare room. pretend to sleep. repeat every morning until he stops! or just start sleeping in the spare room anyway...

alternatively, get him a cat. ours doesn't have anything to do with me since i refuse to take notice of her unless i have nothing else to do, but regularly wakes DH up for a cuddle at 5am which annoys the hell out of him!

ClaireDeLoon - youre not odd, unless I am too...?

Love it, morning noon and night if I could tee hee.

Oops, this thread has brought out something naughty in me!

My DH also gets up early, before 7. I stay in bed till DS wakes up between 830 and 930. If DH tried morning "cuddles" on a weekday, I'd rip his arm off and beat him over the head with it. Sleep is VERY important.

Starkadder... 9.30! I havent slept in until 9.30 since i was about 18!!

Is DH jealous? I think if I was having to get up before 7 every day while my partner lied in until half 9 it would be them who got hit over the head with their own arm.

i am very of you

Just fart at him

Just think, if anything happened, ( god forbid) to him on the way to work, that you hadn't had a last cuddle.

My DH goes out very early on a Monday morning and doesn't come back until Friday evening, how awful would I feel if I hadn't had a 'cuddle' at 5.15am.

YABU because waking up at 7am sounds bliss, and 8am downright idyllic.

I do hate being unnecessarily cuddled in the night though.
