ysobelTo be posted to reddit if I can figure out which sub:
My roommate and I -- both pretty much middle aged -- have very different sleep schedules. I don't do mornings well, whereas that's his prime time of day. He loves the sun especially, and likes opening the blinds; not all the way, just a bit, but it's enough for it to wake me up. No matter how much I tell him it bothers me, he just ignores my request and keeps doing it.
Generally he's a good roommate, and he gives fantastic cuddles -- platonic, I promise there's nothing going on between us -- but sometimes it's like he thinks he owns the place and can just expect to do things his way, with no consideration of my needs. He practically walks all over me!
And honestly, sometimes I feel more like his mom than a roommate. For example: He has allergies that make him sniffly and sneezy, and his doctor suggested OTC allergy meds, but did he bother getting them? No. I'm the one that got some for him and I'm the one making sure he takes them. And although he hasn't directly asked me to clean up after him, but he just leaves his shit for me to clean up.
He's not a horrible guy; he's a great listener, he's pretty quiet (except for crying during a 3am existential crisis), he doesn't take up much space, and I like his company. I just don't know what to do about the morning sun thing. If I bring it up, he stares at me like I've grown a third head, and nothing changes.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I know he's adopted. He doesn't talk about the past so I don't know if he has any lingering issues.
(Oh, and he's a cat.)
