Never again. Not wasting my precious beauty sleep for scrotes 🙅‍♀️

Ah, when I used to stay up until 4 or 5 am EVERY night, for over a year....because I was in a LDR with a six hour time difference. He would get up at 3am to talk to me while I was working. I thought he was so high value for making it work🙄

It was all good until I realized the fucker never slept. He was literally so controlling, he kept me on FaceTime nonstop. Even when I slept.

This made me cringe, never ever again!

If I'm not in a serious committed relationship with someone, I'm not talking to them past 10 pm. If they ask to meet late at night it's an instant block.

As far as I'm concerned I'm a lady and I don't answer my phone or return texts from men after 8:00 p.m. (it's always sex anyway) we need to make sure we have time for ourselves, especially in the evening, to wind down.

Do all narcissists have that same thing where they just don’t sleep? Wtf is that about? They want to deprive you of sleep and they get off on it? Or they’re really vampires? My ex could get by on so little sleep and he’d be pissy if I needed to sleep on “our time.”

My ex was a night owl. He would sleep during the day and was up all night. I had a 9-5 and would be tired after work. He’d call me every night at like 2:30 in the morning almost every night. Then when I’d see him after work sometimes he’d get upset that I was sleepy and I would fall asleep on the movies we would watch. He messed with my sleep for years. I won’t do it again.

I used to stay up til sunrise talking to men. Where are they now? Who the fuck knows lol. I have most of them blocked. I don't message anyone (except family) after 10 pm anymore. That's my sleeping time.

Honestly I wasted a lot of times waiting for texts. And I don't think if I had stuck to my plans I would have missed anything. I don't even think you really need to text back right away if you'd rather spend that time giving your full attention to something enjoyable.

Yeah, Queens never answer texts or calls from males after 9pm. It's nothing but booty calls and wyds. There is no reason to engage in dialogue past that time. Teach these males your time is precious, and they have to earn and value your attention.

I would apply this to real time spent face to face too. We give them way too much time because they want it.

Whew ! Lesson learned 😭😭😭I just blocked someone in Van while I’m on the east coast. I stayed up til 3am regularly 🤦‍♀️ this is the first week I’m on a regular sleeping schedule after 5 months.

Oh God I used to stay up to 2 and 3am when I was on OLD HAVING SCROTES call me. I used to think it was fun and entertaining 🤡 now its embarrassing to admit! I wouod.mess up my sleep schedule and be exhausted and lazy and unmotivated the next day. Thank god for fds and vetting. The predate interview with a brief call is awesome!

MissVvvvv · 2020-09-09T09:59:31+00:00

Eww! I've never done this! I loooove my sleep! 😂

2020-09-09T05:04:43+00:00

This hits.

feminologie_ · 2020-09-09T12:06:50+00:00

Lmao I feel attacked! I lost so much sleep talking to my ex LVM. I don't even remember most of what we talked about. What a waste of time

textbasedpanda · 2020-09-09T06:43:53+00:00

I routinely stayed up all night talking with friends, is this not a thing anymore? (Yes, we're all still friends!)
