What the fuck is with women hating men sleeping? I left multiple women because they hit me over a sleep-related event. My brother got hit with a hammer and divorced over it. My friend's sister would bang pots to wake him up if there was anything left unfinished by the time he went to sleep.

Fucking nutters out here.

My family culture as a child was that sleep was sacred. If there were plans and places to go, but someone was tired and fell asleep on the sofa, then the light would be switched off, a blanket fetched, no one else goes in the lounge and the plans got delayed or cancelled.

Now I've married a woman who wakes me up to ask me if I'm sleeping.

Definitely not gender-restricted. I think every guy I've ever dated has poked/shaken/bothered me awake just to ask in a loud whisper "pssst hey are you sleeping??" and when I'd say yes, I was sleeping, they'd be like "okay you should probably keep sleeping" or something like that.

One guy would find that I wasn't in bed anymore (he snored) and then come to the couch, poke me to ask if I was sleeping on the couch, and then ultimately climb into the couch with me to then snore some more!

Looking back it is very endearing, but I've never considered hurting someone I love as much as I did in those instances.

They wanted to screw

Two main reasons I know:

  1. The "not masculine enough" category of icks
  2. Associated with laziness

Your experiences seem to be related to #2

OP should marry him so she can divorce him over it

Back when I was 15 I had a gf that was basically nocturnal. She'd throw shit at me (e.g. scissors, a knife, a fork) while I was sleeping if I was breathing too loud. If the internet died in the house she would wake me up to try and fix it.

I think I dated her too.

Did anyone ever hook 4chan up to a new machine or is Greentext now trapped in amber from a few weeks ago?

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Nah, it's back up as of a few days ago.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 months ago

What anime is the comment at the top from? The one where she's smoking?

Eh, I've heard of some men that never got up in the night to deal with the baby / kids. I can understand how a partner could be driven to the brink by that.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
