to wake up or not to wake up...

[anxiousnanna]

Myself and my DH work shifts. he went off to work last night and arrived home at 0600hrs this morning. when he got into bed, knowing i will have had a rough nights sleep as its my first shift on today, kissed me and said goodnight.. effectively waking me sooner than my alarm.

So now its time for me to leave to go to work, and he is hard and fast asleep upstairs. If i go up and kiss him goodbye i will wake him up.. and he won't be happy.

He says he likes to bid me goodnight but takes the mickey out of me when i don't bid him goodbye, saying i'm not romantic. I never kiss him goodbye because he's been working hard all night, and he's fast asleep and i don't like to disturb him.

This isn't a moan.. should i kiss him goodbye or leave him to sleep?

Maybe we are weird but when we give night shift kisses goodnight and early morning goodbyes the other just falls back asleep? My oh often jokes that he may as well be kissing a zombie at times 🤣 gentle kiss 💋

Kiss him goodbye and make sure it wakes him up.

I think if you would rather he didn't kiss you and wake you when he gets in, he should respect that and not mock you.

Being on the other end of the "romantic gesture" might focus his mind.

Get separate rooms.
