They might sleep in the same bed but patiently wait for you to fall asleep like a predator. Once you’re asleep, they have all the time and space in the world to engage in activities they shouldn’t be doing. They might sneak out of bed or stay in bed, chatting quietly with others or logging onto porn sites, all while you remain unaware. If you catch them and ask who they were talking to, they’ll gaslight you, calling you crazy and making you doubt your own perceptions.
5. They Immediately Fall Asleep After an Intense Argument
After an intense argument, they might immediately fall asleep, leaving you shattered and unsupported. While you’re struggling with the emotional aftermath, they sleep soundly, having offloaded all their negative emotions onto you. They have no concern for your feelings, and if you try to express your pain, they might even tell you to cry quietly so as not to disturb them. They use sleep to escape accountability, connection, and responsibility, leaving you to bear the heavy emotional burden alone.
