I am not sure which section to put this article in

I am writing to you because I am having a problem. I am a security guard, and I am living with my girlfriend. I love her. She said that she loves me, but it doesn't look that way to me. When I am on the day shift, I have to get up and make my own breakfast while she is in bed. Sometimes I even leave some of what I have prepared for her.

Whenever I come home, dinner is not ready. I asked her what she was doing and she said: "I was sleeping." I asked her if she was sleeping all day, and she said nothing is wrong with that. I complained to her mother, and her mother spoke to her. She was very upset, and told me that I should not complain to her mother whenever we have a problem. She is 28 years old and I am 26...


My lazy girlfriend sleeps all day


I am not a psychologist but her sleeping all day may be a sign she is struggling with depression. This is where she is unhappy, and that is why she does not get out of bed and is not doing anything.


Symptoms of Depression

They can include:

  • Trouble concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
  • Fatigue
  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and helplessness
  • Pessimism and hopelessness
  • Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or sleeping too much
  • Irritability
  • Restlessness
  • Loss of interest in things once pleasurable, including sex
  • Overeating, or appetite loss
  • Aches, pains, headaches, or cramps that won't go away
  • Digestive problems that don't get better, even with treatment
  • Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
  • Suicidal thoughts or attempts

Yes, it is not healthy. Physical problems as well could be causing it.
On another side, not being married means they could come back
after the person is more compatible and awake.

I wouldn't want to marry someone who sleeps more than 12 hours regularly.

Women are more self centered these days. The same can be said of men. I think the problem stems from parents not spending enough time with their children. A good start on the problem would be to discuss it with her.

I sleep a lot during the day too. There are times where I'll sleep for 10 hours in bed and then I'll catnap for like another 2 hours or so. But I kinda HAVE to sleep a lit due to my mental illness. I don't really have a choice. I'd hate to see how much I'll sleep when I get old. My grandfather used to sleep like 15 hours a day when he was alive.

Yes that is depression, not laziness. And the concern should be for her mental health not that she isn’t serving him meals.
