My husband is still asleep . Since 11 last night . Should I wake him ? I don't think he would want to sleep his whole day away , surely he needs a wee 😂 I'm missing him as we usually spend our sat days together . He obviously really needs it . Bless his little socks . Just a Ramble post really as I could never sleep like that and I can't believe he's still asleep 😂 xx

YANBU… you should leave him ASAP, get divorced OP. He will never change. There’s no hope.

only joking - just offering the usual standard of MN advice

he myst be very tired! Poor lamb 🤣

Some of us enjoy spending time with our partners. Weird concept for MN I know.

It's possible to enjoy spending time with your partner while also being comfortable in your own company. They're not mutually exclusive.

@Megifer

Bit of is he okay shall I wake him and check / He will be sad he's missed our plans he looks forward to a day off and usually likes to make the most of it / I do miss him even though I'm being called needy I don't really care 😂 I bloody love our days off together and I'm just waiting around / I'm bored

No drip feeding we don't have 29 kids or cocaine habits , just wanted different opinions. I'm leaving him and I've just stuck a documentary on and got back in my pjs

Leaving him seems a little extreme.

God almighty don’t wake him up or give him tea. Leave him alone !! Do something yourself and give him a rest.

DalzielOrNoDalzielAndDontPascoe · 18/01/2025 14:31

Some of these suggestions almost sound like they were written by small children, who can't possibly understand that mummy or daddy might want/need to sleep when they don't!

Zone2NorthLondon · 18/01/2025 14:31

Let him sleeP, obviously need it. Mean to waken him
relax and do your own stuff

Cinnamonrollsforbreakfast · 18/01/2025 14:32

I love a lie in (no longer get them very often boo hoo) but unless I had a massive hangover I’d hate wasting so much of Saturday asleep. I’d have trouble sleeping Saturday night and then my body clock would be messed up for the week. Maybe I’m getting old.

GetUpRightNowAndTomatoSalsa · 18/01/2025 14:32

I love a long sleep. Leave him be.

Twaddlepip · 18/01/2025 14:32

He’s been asleep for 15 and a half hours? Fuck me. I’d be either livid or deeply concerned.

@Sakura7 Yeh I'm am ... I love our days off together we hardly get time together in the week due to work and he's fun to be around. We would of been out on a nice walk and probably a lunch by now . 😀

That makes me a bit nauseous 🤢

TENSsion · 18/01/2025 14:33

I’d wake him up now. He’ll not sleep tonight and be fucked for the rest of the week.

And this makes me a little sad for you.

Why livid if they don't have kids that she's being left to parent, he's not meant to be at work and there's nothing else that he's committed/supposed to be doing?

Of course, OP enjoys spending time with her DH, but I'm sure they'll have plenty more weekends, evenings and holidays together to be able to do that.

Somebody sleeping for 15 or more hours every day (unless a baby or teenager) would indeed be a real cause for concern. As a one-off catch-up/chill, it's absolutely fine.

He's not a toddler. I'm sure he can deal with that in a grown-up way himself.

pompey38 · 18/01/2025 14:37

@TENSsion No need , I’ve got a great long marriage, I’m just not that dependent on my husband company

GlessJinn · 18/01/2025 14:37

Get some bacon on.

FunkyMonks · 18/01/2025 14:40

He's going to have a nasty headache when he does wake up from dehydration and probably feel groggy for rest of day and won't sleep tonight from sleeping this long personally I would have woken him not because you want to do things but just like a nudge it's 14.30pm think you should get up now that a hell of a long time to be asleep even if your body needs it.

biscuitsandbooks · 18/01/2025 14:40

I'd be concerned if DH had genuinely slept that long.

FedupMum2024 · 18/01/2025 14:41

He needs urgent mental health care. Excessive daytime sleeping is a sign of severe depression. Ring you local crisis home treatment team now and explain the situation.

Failing that, A&E

Same, it is VERY odd...unless you had an all nighter at a wedding perhaps and went to bed 6am (but even though you would probably wake at noon the latest!)

behappybee · 18/01/2025 14:42

@TheDowagerCountessofPembroke 😂😂😂😂 hahah that made me laugh ! Bags are packed the lot ! 😂😂

He’s not a toddler but he’s asleep so can’t make a decision.
I know my husband would have wanted waking up long before now but it all depends on what OP thinks her husband would want.

Edited

She didn’t say she was dependent. She says they usually spend Saturdays together and she enjoys them.

GroovyChick87 · 18/01/2025 14:43

I'd wake him up if he's still in a deep sleep after 14 hours. I'd assume he was ill and want to check he was alright if it's out of character.

At least you haven't overreacted.
