What the fuck is with women hating men sleeping? I left multiple women because they hit me over a sleep-related event. My brother got hit with a hammer and divorced over it. My friend's sister would bang pots to wake him up if there was anything left unfinished by the time he went to sleep.
Fucking nutters out here.
My family culture as a child was that sleep was sacred. If there were plans and places to go, but someone was tired and fell asleep on the sofa, then the light would be switched off, a blanket fetched, no one else goes in the lounge and the plans got delayed or cancelled.
Now I've married a woman who wakes me up to ask me if I'm sleeping.
Definitely not gender-restricted. I think every guy I've ever dated has poked/shaken/bothered me awake just to ask in a loud whisper "pssst hey are you sleeping??" and when I'd say yes, I was sleeping, they'd be like "okay you should probably keep sleeping" or something like that.
One guy would find that I wasn't in bed anymore (he snored) and then come to the couch, poke me to ask if I was sleeping on the couch, and then ultimately climb into the couch with me to then snore some more!
Looking back it is very endearing, but I've never considered hurting someone I love as much as I did in those instances.
They wanted to screw
This is incredibly specific and I've never encountered the women-hating-men-sleeping phenomenon before.
Do you sleep walk or something? How did you manage to upset them so much while nominally being unconscious? Your post has puzzled me.
If I tried to sleep longer than my ex-wife, she would "clean" very loudly in the bedroom until I got up. Conversely if I didn't want to go to bed the same time she did, she got super butthurt.
Yeah ok that is mental. I can see why she is an ex.
Edit: Just realised you aren't the OP commenter... is this really a common thing? The internet is eye-opening
Some people are insane and unfortunately it's a little too common to allow them to stay in your life.
In Norway I've heard a lot of threats of buckets of cold water to wake up a "syvsover". In not sure if I was threatened with it or subjected to it once, I'm 30 and my childhood is a little hazy.

Holy shit, people are nuts. I didn't realise it was tied into toxic gender roles like that when I saw OP's comment at first. It seems like these people are stuck in unhappy marriages/long term relationships and their partners want to hurt them in a societally acceptable way.
Edit: The youtuber is definitely pandering to a specific niche I suppose. I think other women would call her a "pick-me". Not that it invalidates what she says but seemed noteable.
"pick-me" is just the way shitty women describe women who don't hate men
It's really just ad hominem.
Yeah mostly agree with that
lol
