Question for a marriage counselor What if you are on different wave lengths. He goes to bed at 9 and I can't sleep before 11 or 12. He gets upset if I get back up after sex.


Marriage Counselors reply
Couples can go to bed at different times and rise at different times, too. So, split the difference. Stay with him some nights till he falls asleep and get up others. The problem is not the different schedules, it is that it is hard for the two of you to talk it through to resolution. If you can talk to each other, it won't matter if you get up or not.
