Awkward Situation Got Much Worse (part 3)

[Tate]

Today, my W tried to start an argument about a recurring topic: she wants me to sleep on the couch on Friday nights so she can sleep in bed and I will not wake her up in the morning when I get ready to exercise.

My W started sleeping on the couch and absolutely refuses to sleep in the bed if I am there. I refuse to sleep on the couch to accommodate her. She insists she is not getting enough sleep due to work and grad school and I need to do this for her. I stood my ground again, suggesting she sleep in bed. She got bitterly angry. My only response was that her schedule is not predictable, staying up until 2 am one night, then crashing on the couch at 9 pm the next. So, I was in the middle of doing chores when she wanted all the lights out so she could sleep on the couch at 9 pm. I did not quite suggest that she evens out her sleep schedule because I figured this would just make her furious...but it is the truth. If she planned a day further ahead, she would get the same work done and get on a stable sleep schedule. And, I would at least know when she wants it quiet to sleep.

I know I need, and want, to stand my ground on this, but she is getting bitterly angry every Friday evening when I am keeping her up past 9 pm as she is choosing to sleep on the couch.
