If your dh gets ready before you in the morning

[domeafavour]

What's your routine? Does he get ready in your room, wake you up, turn the light on etc. Or does he e.g get ready in the bathroom so as not to disturb you? Does he kiss you goodbye?

BUt isn't it cold when you get to it?

Yep, sometimes, if I'm being a total lazyass, but I just pop it in the microwave if that's the case

Yeuk! to a microwaved brew!!

My love for staying in bed as long as possible overrides my love for a quality cup of tea in the morning

Dh gets up around 5.30 - 6.00. He brings me a cup of coffeee in bed then disappears into our bathroom to get ready.
I snooze or sit up in bed and talk to him as he gets ready. Before he leaves he goes and gets DD and puts her in with me and kisses us both goodbye, then he goes into DS1 and kisses him goodbye too.
sometimes he gets DS1 a cup of tea and takes that down to him in the basement as well.
He is a good egg

I find it quite cruel and disrespectful when one of the two partners purportedly wakes up, makes noise and keeps the partner awake when he/she could do with half an hour/an hour more sleep. Why would anyone do this? It sounds spiteful and a bit of a "revenge" ("if I can't sleep more, then she shouldn't either"). I would be worried if my DP ever did this, and I can't imagine doing it to him if it was me waking up earlier. It takes 5 min to get your clothes ready before going to bed, and it's much easier this way, as opposed to bumping against drawers and wardrobe doors in the dark.

Why do some of you put up with this? And why would anyone "get used to it"??

My mum always insists on getting up (and going to bed) at the same time as Dad. She felt it was an important part of married life and couldn't bear the idea of him leaving the house without a proper send-off.(breakfast/cup of tea and a kiss on the door-step). She did this even when he was working shifts. They've been married more than 40 years, so they're getting somehting right.

I tried it for the first week we were married, early killed me!

DH leaves his clothes on the landing and kisses me as he leaves, which is about the time I should be getting up.

My OH gets up at 2.30am every morning for a 3.30am start.

He puts his stuff in the downstairs toilet so as not to disturb me, but I usually wake up anyway and make him a cup of coffee while he gets ready.

Poor DD didn't last long sharing a room with us, she did not appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night!

my dh gets up 30 mins before me so we have put his stuff into another room. he gets up and straight into ensuite for ablutions then straight into another room for dressing. his alarm always wakes me though so i have taken to moving into another room altogether when i wake in hte night so i get more undisturbed sleep!

He gets ready in the bathroom and doesn't put the lights on. He does his best not to disturb me too much.

He tells me he is going as I get up as he leaves at about quarter to 7. But as he is currently taking part in 'Movember' and looks like an extra from some 70's Bronson movie, he is currently not permitted to kiss me .

Dh gets ready in the bathroom and brings me a cup of coffee and kisses me just before he leaves. I treasure him

Oh, he also makes sure fish & cats are fed, makes sure ds is dressed and breakfasted and the bin is empty if necessary

he gets ready in the bedroom quietly ,then brings me a cup of tea just before he goes .which is when I get up

Ew yes - DH doing Movember too. Sympathies!
