I’m convinced that no one is a morning person by choice. Have you ever seen someone being excited over waking up at 5 or 6 a.m., jumping out of bed, ready to seize the day? Didn’t think so. The fact that you’re not the “early bird catches the worm” type of person becomes even more clear when you have a significant other living with you.
Recently, Reddit user ForsakenFigure6334 shared how his girlfriend is approximately five levels below not being a morning person. She relies on him to wake her up every day, and when he does, she insults him in all sorts of ways, blaming it on being sleepy and out of it. But one morning, when she pushed things too far, the boyfriend decided that he wasn’t going to do that for her anymore, which had quite unfortunate consequences.
