[relationship] ok, I'm working through a relationship thing, could use advice
Mad Larkin
nothing major
Mad Larkin
just, my boyfriend has mentioned off and on, with growing frequency, since February that he wants to switch his computer setup and his bed around so he can get out of bed more easily and sleep better
Mad Larkin
I'm all for this
Mad Larkin
but he keeps not doing it
Mad Larkin
he didn't do it this past weekend, I know, because it was still in it's old setup when he video called me yesterday
Mad Larkin
I wasn't there last weekend because he said he had a lot to do, which I figured included the room switch. he had a medical issue on Sunday, but he could have done it on Saturday
Mad Larkin
he was probably out playing Pokemon
Mad Larkin
I haven't pressed this because it doesn't affect me, but if I go back there for longer, it will, because he doesn't sleep as well when I'm in bed with him in the current setup and then he gets crabby
Mad Larkin
next weekend is apparently some big Pokemon Go thing, so I may or may not see him then, but I'm considering kind of making an ultimatum
Mad Larkin
at least of "I'm not staying with you longer-term until you change things around"
Mad Larkin
(part of my annoyance is that on one of the last weekends I was there earlier this summer, he decided to do the switch, but then got distracted or something, so we spent all afternoon and evening driving around, first with Pokemon, then out to Montauk)

I would definitely at least tell him that you don’t sleep well with things in the current setup, if you haven’t already?
Mad Larkin
oh, no, I sleep pretty much fine. he's the one with the major issue, because I apparently roll close to him in my sleep (partly because he's much bigger than I am)
Mad Larkin
that's one of the reasons I haven't said anything, because I'm not affected hugely, so I figured he'd take initiative, because it's his problem
Mad Larkin
but he keeps putting it off, and then stuff comes up, and he puts it off more, and it's been nearly six months since he brought it up
Un(t)sundered
Ah, sorry
Mad Larkin
it's ok
Un(t)sundered
Either way, it’s worth bringing up!
Mad Larkin
yeah, I will bring it up somehow. when he mentions it, I have been pointing out that he keeps saying he'll do it.
Un(t)sundered
Possibly also asking if he needs help with it - if it’s a two person job, he may have been putting it off for that reason?
Mad Larkin
I just have this fear of "being a nag" and I feel like, since it's his problem and his room, he should be a big boy and do it on his own, but I have to do something
Mad Larkin
that is a way in, yeah
Mad Larkin
it is a large undertaking, which is why he wanted to do it that one weekend, I think, when I was there
Un(t)sundered
Yeah, that’s legit, but there are ways to do it without being a nag!
Mad Larkin
and I'm willing to help! I am! but I'm not going to keep bringing it up
Un(t)sundered
Probably one of the easiest would be “let’s do [thing] now/ when you’re next there”
Mad Larkin
that's what I'm thinking, of saying we'll do it the next time I'm there
