Can’t sleep 😔

Nay69Senior Contributor06 Oct 2018, 3:30 am AEST

Can’t sleep 😔

Is anyone still awake like me right now?

I can’t get to sleep..,,,

I guess sleeping on the couch for the past 13 years can do that to you.

I haven’t shared a bed with my husband for just over 13 years because he says that I snore and I don’t need the arguments in the middle of the night so this is my only option.

it really grinds my gears that he just goes off to bed and expects everyone else to be absolutely silent so he can sleep yet when he gets up he could not care less about me or anyone else still trying to get sleep 💤

Selfish is the first word that comes to me right now.

His priorities are pot, his car, the dog, his friends and then finally his daughter... I am not even on the list.

I am feeling hurt and alone every single night 😔

Now I have to sit here in the dark so I am reaching out for someone to talk with me....,please🙏

It sucks big time but I have my little puppy 🐶 to keep me company.
She is a cute little dog with a beautiful heart 💓.
What is keeping you up so late?

Re: Can’t sleep 😔

I used to have a cat as well....

She was hilarious. Her name was pothole and she would eat with her 🐾 rather than stick her head in the bowl. She would also come for drives in the car and run along beside me sideways 😂
Very good times shared with her. You are so right that they have their own agendas.

Re: Can’t sleep 😔

We had a deaf white cat growing up that one of dads friends rescued from being run over. It used to 'howl' with joy when it ate its food. One day it fell asleep in the middle of the road and our school bus coming back from school had to mount the curb to drive around it...all the while it was fast asleep. Bit scary at the time but hilarious afterwards! 🤣😂
