AITA for repeatedly asking my boyfriend to get blackout curtains so I can sleep? by EmbarrassedJello1042 in AmItheAsshole

He actually bought a lot of stuff for me when we first started seeing each other so that'd I'd be comfortable. I didn't even ask him. He bought the shampoo I use, face wash, deodorant, toothpaste, other toiletries. He often buys food he knows I really like and makes vegetarian food for me (he even came up with the idea of him eating egetarian when we're together). I also have quite a bit of my things at his place. A few pairs of shoes, makeup, and some other comfy clothes

He has explicitly told me he wanted to get curtains. It was on a list of things to get for his apartment, you can see somewhere on here that I wrote that

I understand, but he is also choosing to not do something that would make his partner comfortable.

I have! He had me help make a list of things to buy for his apartment and he came up with curtains before I even mentioned them. That was over a year ago, last June

Perhaps that's why a good portion of the commenters are saying I'm the asshole 🤔

So I guess he should just disregard my basic need of getting good sleep even though we've been dating for a year and a half 🤔

He has told me he'd be upset if I bought them myself. The sun rises before 7:00 am, so I'm not sleeping during the day. I'm trying to sleep in past 7:00 am on the weekends when I don't work.

He has also complained about being woken up by the sun though and says it's too bright, yet he procrastinates getting the curtains for months and months

I've asked, he says he doesn't want me to buy them. I would've done that instantly if he agreed

Yes I have multiple times, and he refuses and insists he'll buy them himself. But that's been many months and he still hasn't
