It’s story time on my inner shakti!
This one has to do with marriage. Ah, marriage. It’s wonderful the majority of the time, but there are those rare moments where I literally scream and/or cry.
First some background information. Vishnu and I have been on different sleep schedules for the past two months (ish). While my bedtime is anywhere between 10:30 and 11:00 pm, Vishnu is up until 1:30 am studying. This means that I’m in deep sleep when he finally gets into bed.
Haha!
While not ideal, our little routine has been working out just fine. Until now…
About three nights ago, I was fast asleep when all of a sudden I felt Vishnu’s arm smack down on my back. Ouch! I literally shouted owwww. Vishnu mumbled that he was sorry. A little while later I felt his fist on my head. No joke. He was literally all over the place that night. This time I yelled a little more loudly. Vishnu just turned his back on me (the nerve!). A little while later (yes, there was one more “episode”), I felt his arm, plop over my stomach. That was it. I sat up and yelled, “Stop it!!!” Vishnu also got up and said, “Don’t get mad at me. I didn’t do it on purpose.” We both turned our backs on each other and went back to sleep (one of us slept better than the other). While we were both a little irritated (Vishnu was mad that I was mad!) throughout the night, we had a good laugh in the morning when Vishnu reenacted the whole thing.
So that was the screaming I eluded to earlier. Now on to the crying.
Last night, as Vishnu was getting into bed, our bedroom door slammed shut. I gasped and started crying. I kid you not, there were tears streaming down my face. Vishnu tried to calm me down by asking why I was crying. In between sobs, I managed to say, “YOU ARE SO LOUD!!!” And this time, I turned my back on him. He softly told me to go back to sleep. So I did. Ha! And yet again, we had a good laugh in the morning when Vishnu asked if I remembered crying.
Thank goodness we adore more than we irritate! And I love to laugh…that definitely works in Vishnu’s favor. Ha!
Hahaha that is too funny! I’m glad you guys can laugh about it!
What is he studying if you don’t mind me asking? I must of missed when you wrote about it.
My boyfriend and I will also get into these nonsense fights and wake up the morning to replay the funny parts!
I can be an absolute nightmare when someone messes with my sleep, but I love that you two can laugh about it in the morning. I think that taking that kind of approach to life is the best way to stay happy, healthy, and sane. Easy-going is the way to go 🙂
Aw, I can totally relate to this. Sleeping with a partner can take a LOT of getting used to. Tom can sleep at the drop of a hat and I’m an insomniac, so it gets frustrating to say the least. I’m so glad you can laugh about it! I should try to do that more often 🙂
i think laughing it off is the best you can do 🙂
Hahaha..love this post! When I got married to my boyfriend of 5 years, I though we should be a “real married couple” and share a comforter in bed. Worst idea ever – we were constantly tugging, shivering and yelling at each other but we were able laugh it off after we purchased a second comforter! 🙂
Ali and I are on similar schedules but on the nights we are not? I start yelling at him. It gets ugly. We fight more than adore after 13 years. LOL
Awww.. you guys are so cute. If that happened to me, I gurantee in the morning I would have been like… why did you have to come to the room and hit me, blah blah. I need to take things easier, but I do laugh a lot. The roles are reversed in my home, my husband sleeps early and I sleep at like 1230.. I have to do my blog, plus I drink tea at 8:30 pm and I think that bad habit has been killing my sleep schedule. I just can’t get myself to sleep at 10:30 and my husband won’t sleep past 11. Marriage ain’t easy.
I’m so excited to see you P. Let me know which Mex rest. LOL! My mind is always in food.
This made me laugh out loud! Cory hits me in his sleep ALL THE TIME!
