I've been dating my boyfriend now for 1 year and 4 months, he's a night owl and likes to stay up to 3,4, sometimes 5 A.M. and then sleep the next day until 1 or 2 P.M. I'm an early bird, I feel my best when I'm in bed by 9 or 9:30 at night and then wake up early like 7-8 in the morning.
During the week I get up at 5:00 Monday-Friday to go to the gym and then to work and I get home at night around 6:30. We only see each other Friday-Sunday because I can't stay up late. He works a job that starts around 10:00 and gets home between 6-8 at night.
I physically can not make myself stay asleep in the morning past 9:30 so if he makes me stay up on the weekends until 3 or 4 in the morning I'm not getting much sleep. I get so tired sometimes that I have to call out of work because I'm to exhausted to even function. I've tried to compromise with him and ask him if I can go home 2 hours earlier and maybe he can get up 2 hours earlier on the weekends but many times he makes me feel guilty for it like it's my fault I can't sleep until 1pm like he does.
We really do love each other so much and I really want this to work but he's so stubborn with this, we argue about it a lot. In every other way he's a perfect match for me! Can someone please give me some kind of suggestion on what I can do to help this work?
