Let's get a show of hands for all the "Tired Girls" who are in this thread. Our girls who, if given the chance, would give Rip Van Winkle a run for his money and embrace a near-eternal slumber.
As the partner of a "Tired Girl" who can sleep for 14 hours at a time, I feel like I know this boyfriend's struggle. The hours I spend just waiting for her to wake up sometimes end up being longer than the days themselves.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the boyfriend, Reddit user u/wallerbelt. He posted the topic with the title "AITA for leaving the house while my girlfriend is still sleeping?" in order to appeal to readers and see if he was in the wrong for his actions. His girlfriend certainly thinks he is.
The conflict started when the two made plans to go to the coffee shop in the morning. Instead of waking her up so that she could have time to get ready he woke her up as he was heading out the door and told her not to rush and to meet him when she was ready.
It seems to me that he was trying to be as considerate of her needs as he possibly could be. He wasn't maliciously leaving her behind while he went off and did their plans alone. He tried to let her sleep as long as possible and was more than willing to wait for her at the coffee shop so that they could spend the rest of the time together.
I can see the argument that he "changed" the plans by leaving without her but he did so because he was trying to be considerate. If we want to be harsh here we could even say that the girlfriend should be more considerate and make sure that she got up with enough time to get ready for their plans. She can set an alarm or something and take some responsibility too.
What's your read? Who is the a-hole here?
