We do all have to negotiate our own things. I am not going to give up my living room to someone who should be in bed.
It does sound like a basically good life...but at the same time, I am no longer willing to live with a part time partner. No matter how grand he is in the mornings..I still want him cognizant, available and responsible all day.
That is me. I no longer have little ones at home and I am not on my first marriage. At this time in my life: if it doesn't enhance and isn't a whole lot better than living alone, I do not need it.
However, having said that..my partner and I often do have different sleep patterns. I have bipolar and mine can be very erratic. Lately he is staying up quite a bit later than I am and sleeping later. hmmmm. That doesn't bother me. So, for me..I guess it does come down to whether it is due to alcohol or not.
just throwing out some food for thought from someone else out here in cyber land.
