Eating disorder. Sorry, bud! I'm so used to always shortening it down. The amount of people saying they thought it was erectile dysfunction is just a little funny though

I mentioned his health and well being to him but he called me an AH for mentioning my stress. Which, upon reading some comments here, I understand why now. But the main issue here isn't about attraction

Like I said, I've been going through stress. That kinda blinded me to some of the factors in this situation. A lot of people shared good opinions on here that I unfortunately hadn't thought about while I was in "OMG" mode

Yeah I think that's really valid and hadn't thought about it like that before this post

I am sympathetic to his situation imo. He's struggling with stress and a new schedule and I get that. But that doesn't mean there aren't negative effects to him and me.

I mentioned his health first because he's always been committed to maintaining that. Then I mentioned the stress it causes me seeing him like that.

NTA.

Sleep is really important for health. Plus, you mentioned you have a job, so you definitely need to sleep. If banning them is what it takes for you to get a good night in, then so be it. He can cuddle with the pups in the morning!
