[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you are out of line, you sound like a jerk. I am your wife in this scenario. I LOVE to sleep in, I would never want to be forced out of the room on vacation! I echo what the others said - plan trips to places where you can find something to do alone in the mornings - walk around the city, check out a museum, go out for breakfast, swim in the resort pool etc. DH and I love to vacation together, but we don’t need to spend every single moment of the day together. I am a night owl, so sometimes I have a glass of wine at the hotel bar with a book while he goes to bed at 11. And he likes to take naps and I don’t, so there have been plenty of times I occupy myself while he snoozes after lunch.

Or you could compromise - some days she agrees to get up a little earlier to do something you want to do with her, other days you let her sleep as long as she wants.

Get a suite or be quieter in the morning. [/quote]

The jerk would be the wife who keeps her husband up later than he wants to watch TV on vacation, deal with the maids wanting to enter a hotel room to clean it, and fetch her breakfast.

I do think he should probably do more to pick the vacation spot, make his views clear on when lights should be out in the evening (not everyone can afford a hotel suite or apartment), and find things he's happy doing in the AM if she persists in being a sloth in the morning.

Most couples with different sleeping preferences find a way to strike a balance in the middle.  [/quote]
