BF ONLY CAN SLEEP WITH TV ON, GF DONO HOW TO SLEEP TOGETHER

My (23f) boyfriend (29m) has a hard time sleeping without the TV on.

We don’t have a TV in the bedroom so often he will end up sleeping on the couch. He often falls asleep watching TV on the couch then when I suggest going to bed he will suddenly be wide awake. I have tried getting him to listen to a podcast while falling asleep and I am okay with having a light on (we bought a galaxy pattern LED lamp so it’s a bit more than a night light).

These have worked with some success and although I prefer to sleep in silence and darkness I can adjust to the light and sound and have slept pretty well with it before. It really bothers me when he sleeps on the couch as it makes me feel disconnected.

I don’t mind if he comes to bed later than me but if he falls asleep hard on the couch he’s too tired to come to our room (which is steps away). He knows I don’t like when he sleeps on the couch so he will agree to come to bed but I know he’s not happy about it. He has a very “don’t rock the boat” personality so he doesn’t really say much. I feel like I’ve really put in a lot of effort to find solutions and it seems like it’s not working. I don’t really want to have a TV in the bedroom as I don’t think that’s really good for the brain but I want him to be happy and sleep well.

He has ADHD and probably sleep apnea (did the at home test stuff but the office never got back to us) so I’m sure this plays into it a bit. Should we put a TV in the bedroom? Should I urge my bf to work on his sleep training?

I dont want to be overbearing, I just want to sleep in the same bed.

What netizens said:

  • I had similar problems falling asleep, I took about a year of hard no media / smartphone / PC around an hour before bedtime to get myself to fall asleep without a stream or a TV running. For me at least it seems it was pure habit. But it’s hard to change these habits, especially in times of tablets, phones and tvs everywhere always.
  • Try a weighted blanket. My mum has always had insomnia and it’s really helping her.
  • This is rubbish, we can always learn new sleep behaviors.

COUPLE BROKE UP BECAUSE BF SHOUTED AT GF, GUY KICKED OUT OF HOUSE

0

A woman shared how she broke up with her boyfriend and kicked him out of her house after he shouted at her over a small issue.

Here is the story:

I dated my boyfriend for about eight months. Our relationship was fine. We did things together, we had fun. There weren’t any obvious red flags, but I always got this feeling that he didn’t value me much. At times he seemed a bit cold and acted like he was annoyed with me for no apparent reason.

It all came to a head when, three days ago when we were hanging out at my place, he asked me to hand him the TV remote. I was sitting right next to him on the couch and was working on my laptop. I reached for the remote without looking and accidentally handed him my phone instead.

I thought it was funny after I realized what I had done. I laughed as I handed him the actual remote. He had that same annoyed look on his face. He began yelling at me and called me “a stupid bitch”.

I was stunned. I have NEVER raised my voice at him or disrespected him in any way. I did not deserve to be treated this way. I told him our relationship was over and asked him to leave. He told me to calm down and stop overreacting.

I simply walked to the front door opened it wide and told him to get out, and never come back. He walked out telling me I was being dramatic.

The very next day I returned the presents he had given me. They meant nothing to me now.

My friends are telling me that I DID overreact and I shouldn’t just end a relationship because he yelled at me once, and have asked me to patch things up. His friends too began harassing me on social media. I blocked them all (HIS friends, not mine).

I’m not going to reach out to him to try to “work things out” as some people have suggested. Because I know that I do not deserve this treatment. I’ve always treated him with respect and I deserve that in return.

I just needed to tell somebody. Thank you for reading.

WOMAN REGRETS HAVING KIDS, DON’T LIKE BEING WITH THEM AND WANTS TO LEAVE

0

A netizen shared how she regrets having children and how she doesn’t like to spend with them and wants to leave.

Here is the story:

“My whole life I always said I was never going to have children and I meant it! Then 10 years ago after a nasty divorce I hooked up with my (then) best friend and he kept pushing for us to have a child.

After my sister had her first two children I had a very close relationship with them ( still do) and even though I still didn’t have any desire to have any of my own, I kinda thought well..

I probably won’t regret having them- only not having them.

So we tried for a baby and I fairly quickly got pregnant.

During the whole pregnancy, I was still not convinced it was a good idea, and when I gave birth it was not the joyous happy moment that everyone told me it would be. I mean I didn’t hate him or anything, but I remember thinking that if someone was to take him away from me now, that would also be fine.

I didn’t feel that instant connection. We had our second child because I wanted to give the first a sibling (I’m an old parent).

My children are now 3 and 5 and I regret having them every single day. I do love them- especially the oldest. But I resent being a parent. I don’t like to play with them. I don’t want to spend time with them. I don’t want to go to sports with them, I don’t want to plan for their birthday and so on and so forth.

I think it sucks being so dependent on anyone and having them depend so much on me. I HATE it. They’re always yelling and loud and fighting over stuff and talking to me. NEVER leaving me alone.

They take up ALL my time when I’m not working. And when they’re finally asleep I’m cleaning, cooking and preparing their stuff for the next day. Nothing is ever nice anymore.

Vacation is not vacation it’s just stress and yelling and everyone being miserable. You can’t go anywhere or do anything because these little animals will ruin it. You can’t visit or see any people and have a real conversation because some child is always screaming or hurt themselves or took a dump..

I try so hard every day, but I feel so bad for these poor children for having me as a parent. I don’t wish them ill, I just wholeheartedly wish they weren’t there. Just.. gone.

If only I had a time machine.. I try as best I can to not let it show how I feel. I tell them daily I love them and give them kisses. I try to be patient, try to be happy, try to smile and be nice and have fun with them. But I’m still sure they feel it. I get mad too quickly, I yell too much, I say mean things and have to apologize. I’ve probably already ruined them.

I often think about leaving. Just take off out into the world and be gone. Their father would be able to care for them himself. I am DESPERATE to get out of this situation. I cannot talk to anyone about how I really feel, because people get mad at me and don’t understand.

I feel jealous of most people, who seem to feel that even though having children is hard work it’s also totally worth it. I really don’t feel it’s worth it ever!! I feel so alone and broken.

I cannot help it I just really really really HATE having kids and I truly believe, I ruined my life and theirs by having them and now there’s no going back.”

Editor’s note: You should try talking to to your husband and tell him how you feel.

WOMAN WANTS TO CANCEL WEDDING BECAUSE HUSBAND GOT DRUNK ONCE

0

My fiancé and I have been together for 8 years (both age 30s) and due to be married in 3 months. We live together, and have known each other more than 10 years.

I have always been clear that I do not want to be with a partner who takes alcohol. I have never tried anything more than alcohol, and drink only on special occasions a few times a year (weddings, birthdays.) I have a history of addiction in my family, and have seen the effects, so always knew I wanted to be with someone who did not take alcohol. I know my partner has drink alot in his early 20s in poly prior to our relationship becoming serious, but he promised me that he had quit when I told him I was not okay with being someone who takes alcohol like a daily dose of vitamins C.

A neighbour came to our unit this morning as they had found my fiancé’s phone in their plants (they asked if they were his because the car brand of the key matched the car), and my fiancé told me that he took a few drinks last night at a friend’s house while I was at work. He can’t remember what happened after that, or how his belongings ended up there?

I am devastated. Firstly, my fiancé knows where I stand with alcohol use. Secondly, we have just moved into this house together and I am so embarrassed at how my neighbours may look at us now. We have never met these neighbours before.

Our wedding is in 3 months, and we were planning on having a child fairly soon after this. I am not okay with alcohol use in a partner. My partner does not take alcohol at all previously or he has kept it from me, and is very apologetic about his actions, saying he won’t do it again.

I don’t know if I can trust him on this, and feel like we have different views on alcohol use that is incompatible. I understand everyone has their own limits, but I feel this is a dealbreaker for me.

I am thinking of breaking up, but wanted to get advice on if we can move forward from this?

MORE THAN $141K WORTH OF FINES ISSUED FOR COVID BREACHES AT WORKPLACES

0

The Ministry of Manpower said that more than 140 fines were issued in 2021, amounting to over $141,000, for safe management measures breaches at workplaces, according to The Straits Times.

About 12,000 companies were inspected, with the common infringements being not ensuring workers who can work from home from doing so.

Another common infringement was the failure of implementing adequate safe distancing measures.

Hsu Li Yang, an infectious diseases expert, highlighted the importance of continuing to wear masks, as well as other safe distancing measures.

Howveer, Omicron has since emerged in Singapore, with the capability of infecting the fully vaccinated.

Director of Medical Services, Kenneth Mak, said at the Multi-Ministry Task Force press conference on 5 January that Singapore could see as many as 15,000 cases a day at the peak of the Omicron wave, as a worst case scenario.

In comparison against the the peak of the Delta variant, which saw cases reach about 5,000 in a day.

Hsu said that at this stage, almost everyone is experiencing some sort of pandemic fatigue, hence the slip in safe management measures adherence. He also reiterated that the virus does not experience fatigue.

However, Hsu did add that unlike last year where our “hopes of exiting the pandemic were dashed, we are better placed now to see a clearer path to living with the virus.”

GUY SLEPT WITH 2 WOMEN, AND NOW ONE OF THE WOMAN’S KID IS HIS SON

0

A netizen shared how he used to sleep with 2 women years ago and now one of his hook-ups had a child who might be his.

Here is the story:

“After graduation, I hooked up with one of the alumni that used to help out at all the school events. But then I found out she had a boyfriend and we broke up.

At that time me and my ex were already hooking up too and she got pregnant months after.

My son’s 7, he meets a new friend that he hangs out with after school. The kid is about 8-years-old and guess who his mum is? We met a couple times picking up our children and she avoids me.

It’s not her avoiding me that has me suspicious because ofc it’s awkward anyways with an ex.

It’s that him and my son have so many similar features. The way that they smile, hair, skin color, the shape of their eyes and nose are so similar to mine.

And everyone in my family always say my son looks exactly like me when I was a kid. Far as I know haven’t heard of any dad around her son and her IG doesn’t show anyone else.

Idk if this is something to bring up to her at all. We didn’t end things well at all and she hated me even though she was the one who was a cheater to her boyfriend.

Should I ask her about it at all or is this just one of those things to leave alone?

Id hate to think I have a kid out there not to know about but if it’s gonna hurt him more than I’m not sure”
