    So he's approaching 30, lives with his gran, has no job and sleeps all day? I'd be giving him a serious kick up the arse to be honest. Does he have any plans for the future???

    telling him "im worried" all the time is not going to get through
    tough love approach is

    he DOES need a kick up the backside, it's not acceptable at all

    Can we talk about someone else's boyfriend for a bit? Janes boyfriend bores me.

    Or we could talk about my lack of one :p

    Funny, when I was unemployed I would happily wake at 10am and stay in bed til 2, watching tv, radio, etc. But it used to make me feel like such a loser when my boyfriend would come home for lunch at 1 and be like "...Still in bed then?" :o It was great having someone who I felt embarrassed in front of, I used to get out of bed when he did in the mornings then so I felt less like a student :)

    When I was on summer holidays from secondary school my mom would be home for lunch every day at 12.30. So pretty much every day I got up at 12.25 and fabricated a productive morning :p

    No he doesn't live with his gran, she died last year and he looked after her up until the end. I would apprectiate it if people wouldn't get so bitchy about things. Every time I post lately it seems to get that way so I don't know why I bother. I don't know what's changed but the atmostphere of the thread lately can be ridiculous. You only get snippets of what's going on. He's applied for jobs, courses, he helps his dad with window cleaning sometimes, he plays soccer 2 nights a week so it's not fair the way some people are talking about him. I'm taking another break because I feel like I can't post about what I need to post about without people being very quick to tell me that I'm always wrong. This is the third time at least that I've felt attacked on this thread and I'm fed up of it. If people are bored and annoyed by my posts then don't bloody read them.

    you said you were worried because he does nothing but sleep all day so why would we think he does all that? and it's an ongoing problem because you're worried about it for ages

    we're telling you how to help him not being bitchy

    Well don't talk about mine. It's my Birthday and his present idea fell through at the last minute, so I didn't get so much as a card from either him or the child. I told him so many times that all I want is a card for these things. And if he wants to get presents for me that's grand too, but give me a card because I like them and keep them. But still, another birthday and no birthday card.
    Idiot.

    ETA - Even Jack Frigging Daniels sent me a birthday card.

    That isn't what I said, I said I was worried because he sleeps too late sometimes and has trouble falling asleep at night time. Doesn't matter anyway. Just carry on with the thread. I'll think about coming back in the future.

    Also, Jane, I would just like to point out ... I'm sure the other girls would agree that, if we didn't give a crap about you, we wouldn't bother posting.

    But (even though I'm more of a lurker than a poster these days) you seem like such a lovely kind girl! You deserve the best, and I guess that those of us that read the thread regularly find it hard to see you putting up with some really unacceptable behaviour from your fella.

    Now, I do know that you probably use this thread to vent a bit, and he probably has loads of amazing qualities that we're not aware of. But, he does seem to have some awfully bad habits. And you really should not have to put up with that.

    Just remember that you're a great person, and he's incredibly lucky to have you. You shouldn't have to put up with the crap that he puts you through at times. And you should not be afraid to stand up to him at times! The more you let him away with, the lazier he'll get, you know? You just have to be tough with him, let him know when you're not happy.

    And do keep in mind that anyone who responds to your posts here, they are doing so objectively, and with your best interests in mind. x

    In fairness, in your many millions of posts about your boyfriend I don't recall one time where you ever mentioned him doing any of those things. You just talk about him sleeping a lot, even when he's in your parents house and you want to spend time with him - that's baffling and frankly it is disrespectful. We can only go on the info you give us, and to be honest it is usually either complaining or whinging. Sorry, just being frank here.

    Do you have any friends you can talk to about your boyfriend worries? Its hard to know everything that's going on with your boyfriend, so people are just going by the info you give out in posts. You can't give out to people because you think the replies are being bítchy. I think most people are just offering friendly suggestions. If you don't like that then don't post about it on the internet.

    FWIW, getting out and exercising can help hugely with mood, self esteem and sleep. Maybe go on walks together?

    Happy Birthday DasKitty!

    Assignment needsto get done today. Boo. :(

    Not directed at anyone but I think the thread is going way off track. The ignore option is there for a reason. You don't have to read what you don't want to.

    Another lovely day here. Bf went into town and got us pancakes for breakfast, haven't had pancakes in ages! He's now snoozing on my arm lol! We didn't go asleep until 4a.m. so we're all a bit sleepy, even the dogs are sound asleep :D

    What do we all have planned for today?

    Happy birthday DK, hope it's a good one.

    I think that there is only so much one can take before it gets irritating. Jane constantly posts complaining about her boyfriends sleeping pattern, doesn't like what she hears and throws a strop, claiming she doesn't want to post anymore, and then comes back, posting about the exact same topic, rinse and repeat.

    1. If somebody sleeps all day, of course they are going to have trouble sleeping at night. Our bodies aren't made for sleeping around the clock.
    2. Nobody can change that, except the person thats doing it.
    3. A GP isn't going to fix it.
    4. Excuses never help lazy people. He sounds lazy. GPs don't have an anti-lazy injection.
    5. If going to bed at 11pm and getting up at 8am doesn't work, and he's still have trouble sleeping, then present yourself to the gp. He doesn't sound as if he actually has a problem sleeping, in fact he sounds quite good at it, just at different hours of the day.

    I know this is going to come across as mean but to be fair, there is only so much whining and negetivity one can subject themselves to. Now where is this ignore button you speak of?

    Happy birthday Das! It's my birthday too, and my Oh's. Exact same situation as you. Not even a card. He asked me at 10pm last night what I wanted for my birthday... I'm pissed.
