[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband recently started going into work earlier, so he’s now getting up about an hour before me. He’s mentioned several times how much he enjoys the solitude of the house during that hour—he rarely gets the house to himself otherwise. I actually understand this completely, because I really enjoy the quiet of the house that I get after school drop off before I head to work.

The problem is that I wake up when he does and can’t fall back asleep. So I’m basically lying there for an hour, restless and annoyed. I’ve tried scrolling on my phone, reading, etc., but honestly I don’t enjoy just hanging out in bed. I want to get up, have coffee, eat breakfast, get dressed, start my day.

At the same time, I don’t want to ruin his alone time by getting up too. I know once he hears me moving around, it changes the feeling for him. I thought about just grabbing coffee and bringing it back upstairs, but that sounds miserable to me too. I’m not someone who likes lounging in bed once I’m awake.

So what’s the reasonable compromise here? I’m trying not to be selfish, but I also live here and don’t really want to spend an hour trapped in bed every morning. Curious how others would handle this.
