Am I over reacting, his best effort?

Question

I don't really ask too much of my boyfriend of 5 years except go to work, take out the trash, and spend some quality time with me. But falling asleep in the movies does not qualify. He tells me it's because he's tired from work but how was he able to go out to the club with his boys the night before and stay out til 1am? I don't tell him to be in at a certain time, I don't expect him to do housework, I do his laundry, buy him video games, and I don't yell at him when he leaves the toilet seat up. So is it too much to ask that he stay up through a movie? And it's always action movies, never chick flicks. Am I over reacting?

Answer 1

I unfortunately I've been in that situation. I thoughtlessly went out the night before (without her), got 4-5 hours of sleep, and went to work the next day knowing that we had a date that night. Although I couldn't help being tired THAT night I always acknowledged my short sightedness, apologized, and would take her out to a VERY romantic dinner, symphony, theatre, or what ever she wanted to do our next night out.
Are you over reacting? If he keeps doing it over and over you are definately NOT over reacting. Especially if he doesn't apologize and try to make it right.

ps - thank you for reminding me how lucky I am

Answer 2

Well, if he was out until 1 AM the night before and then worked all day, I'm not surprised that he fell asleep during the movie. BUT, he should be willing to spend some time (awake) with you!!

Answer 3

no your not over reacting. You need to sit down with him and tell him this is not right. He needs to give you time too. Id he continues to do this then i suggest you may want to consider break up

Answer 4

not at all...maybe you should try watching something that he might want to watch. and yes his excuses are inexcusable.
