Woman questions relationship over husbands 'infuriating' sofa habit
A woman is considering ending her marriage after being left constantly annoyed by her husband's insufferable sofa habit.
She was left frustrated with her husband for sleeping on their sofa instead of coming to bed in the evening. He claims he isn't purposely trying to kip elsewhere and 'can't control it'. After returning home from work and doing some of the household chores, he is left physically exhausted and isn't always able to make it to their room.
However, the woman isn't convinced by his 'excuse' and admits she feels that he is avoiding her. While she doesn't fall asleep as easily, her partner is the opposite - and is now left feeling conflicted over her judgment.
She says she is on the fence about whether she should forgive him for his behaviour - and feels that if they're both sharing the same bed it is healthier for their marriage.
Sharing her worry in Slate's Dear Prudence advice column, she penned: "My husband claims he isn't trying to fall asleep on the couch but that he 'can’t control it.' I've never 'just fallen asleep' on the couch without meaning to/knowing I am and I want to call BS on that excuse.

"I think he just doesn't want to get up and ready for bed when he is comfortable and half asleep on the couch. So, do some people really fall asleep so fast and hard that they can't reasonably be expected to change, or does my husband need to try a little harder?"
Responding to the lengthy post, Prudence suggested that her husband agree to 'complete his nighttime tasks before sitting down and getting comfortable'. She also recommended the wife reassure her partner by letting him know that he shouldn't feel tense if he's afraid of waking her up when he comes to bed.
She added that he may feel more comfortable on the couch 'rather than dragging himself to bed and possibly waking himself up too much to get back to sleep in the process' but urges the woman to 'let this one go.'
