Hi all,
My partner stays up all night to play games/listens to music, he doesn't come to bed untill about 7/8 o'clock in the morning when I'm about to get u. I just want to be able to cuddle him and fall to sleep with me in his arms, tonight he said he might be in bed early, I said good I'll be able to cuddle you then he turned around and said you can't tell me what to do which I didn't tell him what to do.
I don't know what to do anymore just fell so alone.

We spend about 2 to 3 hours together most of the time and when we do it's watching something we like having a meal.

OP are you deliberately avoiding the 'When/how is he being 'great' in this relationship?' question?

And that’s enough to make him great? You’re easily pleased......

Your lifestyles and/priorities are not compatible. He has the right to choose how he spends his time, but if it impacts you in a negative way you also have the right to leave and not accept that.

I can't imagine this way of living is good for his cardiac rhythm & sleep cycle, and it's not compatible with having children. A lot of children's activities and events start earlier in this day when he'll still be asleep.

Does he seems lost in his own world? Do you feel like his mate, a housemate instead of a cherished girlfriend? Do you feel like a security blanket and that your relationship is lethargic and lacks connection? If so, leave him and make the most of your youth.
