Love, Sleep and Toxic: Great relationship you got there…

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

Today, my girlfriend told me I could sleep in. Twenty minutes later, she was banging on the door, yelling, "Get up, fat lazy fuck! It's seven o'clock, we have chores! You expect me to do everything for your worthless ass!" FML

Today, my girlfriend woke me with a surprise up on my birthday. Unfortunately, it was her screaming at the top of her lungs and punching me in the face because of a nightmare. FML

Today, my girlfriend woke me up at 5am to tell me she was mad at me. Apparently I did something bad in her dream. She still won't talk to me. FML

The best part of breaking up…

Today, my girlfriend and I got into a huge fight. She kicked me out of the apartment and told me to never come back. Devastated, I waited outside of the apartment door for hours, hoping she'd reconsider. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up to her foot stomping on me, screaming, "I meant it!" FML

WORRIED

Today, I was woken up at 11:30 am by my mother standing over my bed, screaming at me. I'm 30 years-old, married, and do not live with her. She broke into my house because I didn't answer my phone, because I'm sick and on prescription sleep meds. WTF? FML

Today, I was woken up by my drunk girlfriend calling me and saying how much she loves me. She then stopped to tell the guy she was in bed with to be quiet because I might hear him. FML

Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". FML

Today, I woke up after my pregnant fiancée punched me in the face. Apparently, I rolled over in my sleep and knocked her out of bed. She is still pissed about it. 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
