I Want to Be In a Healthy Loving Relationship

My bf went to lie down in the other room, and it’s only 7:30 PM. Sometimes he does that. I’ve never liked it. I always worry that something is really wrong. (And he’s been doing this for years; he did it before our trouble started - so this is not something new.)

But I know if I go in there and ask. he’ll just tell me nothing’s wrong and continue to just lie still.

If I could change one thing about him, this would be it.

My father-in law used to go to bed at that time, or even earlier. He would then get up for a while in the middle of the night, go back to bed, then be up again at 5 a.m. and stay up for the rest of the day. Some people just have weird sleeping patterns.

By the way, why is it considered lazy to sleep late in the morning, but not to go to bed early?

@LeopoldBloom Looking at it a couple of weeks later - this wasn’t really about him. It was my anxiety flaring up again. I think I have an anxiety disorder, and sometimes this happens to me. I’m learning some techniques for reducing my anxiety, and feeling better these days.
