Great relationship you got there…

Today, I had to blast music, turn the lights on, and physically drag my 29 year-old girlfriend out of bed to wake her up. All the while, she verbally abused me. This is the only way to wake her up, and if I don't do it, she will sleep through the day and then scream at me. FML

Listen, OP. I am speaking to you directly, here. I want you to imagine for a minute that you have a female friend who just told you this exact story about her SO. Exact same story, nothing else, no “Oh, but they’re really nice other than this!” type context. Would you think this was normal then? Or would you tell her to stand up for herself, let her datemate wake up on their own and recognize the screaming at your friend because of their own actions for the toxic behavior that it is? You can, and should, be treated better than this. Please seek help, either in helping your girlfriend find out and manage the cause of her issues or in leaving her for someone who treats you right.

And even just a rough nudge does not work? If this is her just being lazy... well, I'll at least understand, but no one should need THAT much just to get out of bed. You should not need to stand for the verbal abuse either.

Um, yeah what everyone else is saying. That shit ain’t normal. I’m about to turn 28 and I mean I don’t have my entire life together but I have a high paying salary with a full time job & am about to be done with grad school. I’m maybe little more booked than the average person in that I have 12-13 hr days, but most people are productive a good 8-10 hours out of the day. Is it a medical condition or something, mental or physical? Either way, that’s her own issue, she’s a grown ass adult that’s not taking responsibility for her own problems and actions, and it sounds like whether you let her sleep or wake her up, you’re either taking screaming or verbal abuse, both of which are absolutely unacceptable. If the situation’s really how you say, I’d get out now because it’s either not going to get better or take a long af time to get better. Idk how someone can even be productive sleeping through the whole day, doubtful she is working then? More context might be needed though, but I say it’s not worth your while

I am just going to ask. Why are you even together then?

You sure this relationship is worth that mental and physical strain?
