Reasons why having a morning person boyfriend is dreadful but at the same time amazing
“I will never be a morning person, for the moon and I are too much in love.”
Have you ever read this quote before? If I would have to describe
myself in to a quote, this would suit me best. I am a certified night owl. I
love sleeping and be lazy in the morning (I mean, who doesn’t?) and do my stuff
late at night. Snuggling my pillow under my warm covers is the perfect morning
for me, until my alarm clock goes on signaling that time’s up and I have to be
ready for my work at 8:00AM. That’s my routine every Monday to Saturday. Rising early is very hard for me–a torture–but
I have to because I have to make a living. Adding to my torture is my boyfriend
(whenever he’s there) pestering me to wake up even if my alarm clock hasn’t
alarmed yet. He is a morning person, and in contrast to me, he feels at best in
the morning. And that’s what I hate about him… sometimes.
Here are my reasons why having a
morning person boyfriend is dreadful:
1. Waking
up before your alarm clock goes on and tells me to wake up
This is the major reason why I’m grumpy in the morning at times. I mean, doesn’t he get it why I set up my alarm clock before I go to bed at night? Geez. He would pester me saying “Wake up or you’ll be late again today!” (in most cases this is true, I am a chronic latecomer) and wouldn’t stop annoying me (includes shaking my body, pulling the blanket and let the cold air cloak me, tickling) until I get up. At least my alarm clock gives me 5 minutes snooze time.
2. He expects me to be in a good mood for jokes in the morning
Sometimes even eating breakfast is a torture. When I feel like I lacked 5 minutes of sleep, I will be not in the mood to eat… or talk. And then this boyfriend would be eating happily beside me, discussing those funny events he had seen on TV, or at work, or everywhere. When I’m in a bad mood, I am in a bad mood. He knows this yet he still would keep on talking and when he sees me spacing out, he would elbow me and then I have to change my grumpy look and force a smile just so he would stop.
3. Night activities makes him sleepy
Because he wakes up early, he feels sleepy even at 6:00PM. By this time, I am already pumped up. I don’t watch movies alone so he has to watch it with me. Most of the time when I look at him beside me, he’s already fast asleep (and I don’t get to finish the movie). If I wake him up (we brush our teeth together), it leads to reason #4.
4. He forces me to sleep early
He nags and scolds me for not sleeping early. I already have my mother to do this for me, so really, it’s annoying.

However, sometimes having a morning-person beside you can be amazing. Here are my reasons why:
1. I am never late whenever he’s there to wake me up
Because I woke up earlier than my alarm clock. And as a person who is chronically late, not being late for work (our company isn’t that strict regarding tardiness—until lately) can sometimes make my day.
2. Breakfast is already served
I hate cooking as much as I hate mornings, and having a boyfriend who enjoys cooking for you especially in a hectic morning is… heaven.
3. Nighttime is me-time
Because he is already asleep usually as early as 8:00PM, I get to do some me-time girl stuffs like writing my diary, updating my blog, doing my nails, plucking my armpits, etc. without having to worry about irking him at the grossest girl stuffs we girls do.
4. Sometimes I get a full 8-10 hours of sleep
Because I want him to shut up every time he starts scolding me for still up at ten fucking o’clock, I obey him and sleep. But even getting a whole night’s sleep can’t energize me in the morning of next day, but at least it doesn’t make me sleepy and tired the whole day.
5. Mornings—when he’s there—aren’t that horrible anymore
He makes mornings easier for me. And the best part? When I’m still in bed and he snuggles behind me and whispers ‘I love you” in my ear. I don’t know if he knows that I’m half awake when he does that though, but it makes my morning wonderful.
But whatever he may be, I love him just the way he is.
How about you? Do you have a morning-person lover?
