I'm a 27-year-old female, and my partner is a 30-year-old male. We've been together for years now, and overall, things are great. However, we've recently been having some issues regarding our morning routines. As soon as my partner's eyes open, he hits the ground running. He's full of energy, ready to tackle the day immediately. On the other hand, I am the complete opposite. I need time to wake up slowly, lie in bed for a while, and gradually get myself ready for the day. I guess you could say I'm like a log in the mornings. In the beginning of our relationship, our different routines didn't seem to be a problem. We managed to coexist peacefully, and I think we found our own ways to accommodate each other's habits. However, lately, it has been causing more tension and fights. My partner gets frustrated that I'm not up and about as quickly as he is, and I get annoyed that he doesn't give me the time I need to wake up properly.I've tried explaining to him that I need that slow start to feel good throughout the day, but he seems to think I'm just being lazy or unmotivated. I've also tried compromising by getting up a bit earlier to have more time to wake up, but it doesn't seem to help much. so am I lazy for having a different morning routine than my partner? How can we find a way to make our mornings less stressful and more harmonious?
