All right.

My boyfriend, who's 39, and I, a 30-year-old woman, have different work schedules.

Most days of the week, boyfriend has to be out of the house by 7 a.m.

As a grad student, I am often up late working, but try to sleep in so I still get at least eight hours of sleep.

Fortunately, my partner and I have separate bedrooms, so in theory, this should be perfectly manageable.

But despite repeatedly asking him not to, he always comes into my room to kiss me and tell me he loves me before he leaves, which wakes me up every time.

I have an aura ring, so I am also able to see that this often takes place when I am in deep sleep, which in addition to lost sleep hours, leaves me incredibly groggy throughout the day.

I know it's sweet, but I've suggested if he wants to be cute to please leave a note or a nice text I can wake up to.

I remind him not to wake me up in the morning the night before and will even tape notes to my door that say, please don't wake me up, and he still does anyway.

Otherwise, our relationship is great, so maybe it's the sleep deprivation talking, but I'm really feeling at my wit's end with this.

Please help me find some clarity on what to do, Reddit.

Yeah, yeah, or it's not tough, but it's an interesting scenario.

I wish she had said like what his responses were to what she's asking him.

I know, it's just like, but yeah, if he's lying to her.

Like, is he going, okay?

He's like, for sure.

Like, does it?

I want to know that.

I will not kiss you.

I want, like... Do you think he's trying, like, after she's like, please don't kiss me in the morning, he's like, for sure.
