    Do you and your SO work on very different schedules?

    Mr Peng and I rarely have to wake up at the same time.  Typically I wake up before him, and if I have to leave before he wakes up, I crawl in bed right before and hug and kiss him goodbye.

    If Mr. Peng leaves before I wake up, he doesn't say goodbye to me.  Sometimes I feel offended, but I come to realize that he thinks waking someone up is inconsiderate, even if it is for a hug and kiss goodbye.

    What about you?  How do you leave in the morning if you have different schedules?  Do you think it's rude to hug and kiss your SO goodbye if they are sleeping?

    I usually just kiss his forehead and tell him good-bye. He's often aware that I'm leaving, even tho he's half asleep, so it's a good compromise. He usually does the same for me, I think, but I'm a heavy sleeper so I'm not 100% sure. ^_^

    Mr Happily has NEVER left me without kissing good-bye. He leaves for work at 4:45am (while I am still sleeping) and last thing before he leaves he always comes over to my side of the bed & kisses me goodbye.

    Mr. Powder Puff and I are on a fairly similar schedule. We wake up around the same time, but I always leave before him.

    We ALWAYS say goodbye with a kiss and an, "I love you" no matter if the other person is still in bed or not. I would feel weird if we didn't, and I think it's just a nice way to start the day. :)

    If one of us is still in bed, the other will just come give a hug and kiss before leaving. If we are both awake, we hug and kiss by the door before we leave.

    Sometimes, because I loathe work, I get back into bed with him, just for a while, before I go. Leaving for work is very hard!!

    I don't think it's rude, I think it's very sweet, to kiss and hug goodbye even if they are still in bed.

    We always give each other hugs and kisses and wish each other well for our day ahead. Our work schedules vary and we are so attached to each other that its nice to have that moment before either one of us leaves the other.

    Oh, and we always make a point to say "I love you" no matter what. My mom's always said "make all your 'later dude's good 'later dude's so you never have any regrets." So I always want to know if the worst should happen the last thing we said to each other was "I love you."

    Well we work the same shift. But I have to get up an hour before he would have to but he still gets up with me, goes and makes my lunch and what-ever I would need for my 24 hours shift. He then makes sure I have everything ( I forget things so easily) I get his uniform ready and laid out. We finish getting ready.  He then walks me to my truck kisses me and hugs me. As I am pulling out of the driveway I honk three times( I-LOVE-YOU) and he holds up two fingers! That is our mornings! Every morning!  I am spoiled.... Awwww...

    For a while, my FI and I were on opposite schedules.  He had to work from 4pm to 4am.  We were always seeing each other in passing, or saying goodbye while one of us was sleeping.  We both would feel slighted if we didn't wake each other up for big smooches goodbye!  In fact whenever we say goodbye we give a big hug and a smooch before we walk out the door!

    He works days and I work nights ( afternoon really but I'm a night owl anyways) . I can say that 99.9% of the time he's awake before I am . But he always says goodbye , usually he kisses my forehead and i mumble out "love you" but I'm usually not quite awake.

    He wakes up before me.  I sleep while he's in the shower and start waking up to get ready when he kisses me on the forehead to leave for work.

    What I don't understand, is that he is in an industry where he doesn't have to go to work early... but he's such an early bird that he does it anyway.  I'm such a stinking night owl, that mornings are always a struggle for me!

    My hubby usually is up and gone before I even wake up.  So, he'll kiss me really hard and if I don't wake up he'll do it again.  Then, he'll say "I LOVE YOU" really loudly so it can get me out of my sleep coma.  I'll usually open one eye and say "I love you" back, then he's off.  No matter what, though, we always leave with a kiss and those magic words because you never know if you'll seem someone again.

    I'm always awake when he goes to work, because he leaves at 10pm, so we hug and kiss at the door... he prays over me the same little blessing that he said every night when we parted before we were married, and I say "I love you, be safe." LIke liz.smith, I ALWAYS say I love you before he leaves... been doing that with my parents and siblings for years now, because I'm always paranoid that something will happen and I want the last thing said to be "I love you."

    Oh, and I am still working on getting a job, but I imagine that I will be getting up and showering as he's going to bed, and then I'll kiss him "goodnight" and tuck him in before leaving for work.

    We're on the same schedules... but if I leave and for some reason he is still in bed, I give him a kiss. If I'm still in bed (rarely happens) he doesn't bother me if he thinks I'm sound asleep. But he sees me up, he definitely snuggles in for a kiss.

    Most often my FI is up and out before me. But we always try to give a quick kiss before we leave each other and when we come back together after not seeing each other all day. Even if one of us is still in the bed, we kiss!

    My FI and I have completely different schedules.  He works rotating shifts, so he will leave for work for instance tonight, at 10:30 pm.  So then we usually just say goodbye with a kiss and hug.  When he leaves at 6 am, its usually just a kiss on my forehead for me.  When I leave for work, I give him a kiss and out I go!  Hopefully someday we will be waking up at the same time rather then saying goodbye at all times of the day!

    We say goodnight before bed via phone since we don't live together.  In the morning we talk during my commute to work.  Can't wait until I get to smooch him good morning!  Or good night for that matter.  On my childless weekends (2 a month) I sometimes sleep over at his house.

    We're really getting tired of the having 2 houses thing.

    We get up at the same time even though he leaves before I do. We do lots of kissing, I say "I love you. Be safe. Have a good day." He says, "I love you. I will. You too." and then we kiss again and both say "Bye, I love you." Silly, but sweet.

     My FI gets up at 4:30 every morning and I don't need to wake up until 6:45-7.  I've struggled with insomnia for years and am a very light sleeper, so this is a real problem for us.  We've come up with an unconventional solution.  Not only does he not say goodbye in the mornings, we sleep in separate bedrooms during the week!  That way I don't disturb him at night (he's usually gone up to bed at least 2 hours before I do) and he doesn't wake me in the morning.  I may seem odd to others, but it works for us...at least til he gets better hours.

    @ firefighter... that is too too cute!!  *jealous*  How do you say goodbye in the morning? :  wedding relationships Icon Wink

     

    I don't work during the week but he wakes me up anyway.   I'm a light sleeper anyway so I am practically always waiting for my kiss goodbye.  I tell  him to have a good day and he tells me that he'll call me in a bit.

    He has "forgotten" 2 times to say goodbye.  Both times after a big fight the night before.  He said he was so tired from being up late fighting that he forgot.. which could be true or him being a people pleaser.  Either way he apologized and for Christmas he bought me a sign for the bedroom that says "Always Kiss Me Good Morning"  Really sweet.

    I never kiss him good morning /good bye when I leave for work on the weekends.  He is a heavy sleeper and doesn't know the difference.  I did in the begining but he doesn't wake up and even if he does he doesn't remember it later.. oh well.

    We are on the same schedule and always kiss goodbye.  We also made a rule several years ago, which we have stuck with to this day, that no matter how mad we are at each other, we always kiss goodbye in the morning because you just never know what your day might bring.

    I work mornings.  He works nights.  So I always kiss him goodbye, say I love you, and say when I'll see him next.   When he comes home from work I'm usually asleep(and sometimes grouchy hehe).  He doesn't like to wake me, but I'll talk to him before hand on the phone and say I love you, goodnight.

    We are really blessed with my fiance's job. He does most of his work from home, with the exception of business meetings and consultations. I am taking a bit of a break  so I work evenings 4 days a week. Every morning he wakes up early to get started on his work and even though he isn't leaving, he makes sure to come into the room around 8AM every morning to give me a good morning kiss! I love life! =)

    I am awful in the morning. I get stressed out and run around trying to get everything in order. My FI makes my breakfast, packs my lunch and brews me tea. We have breakfast together and then I leave. He blows me kisses and waves goodbye to me as I drive away. CUTENESS!!

    I make him wake me up.  There have been a few times where he has left when I'm in the shower and its really disconcerting to get out and have him gone, so now I make him come in and say goodbye.  Its important to me that we always leave eachother having said "I love you."  We don't know what will happen that day- so it makes me feel better.

    I told Mr. Peng that it bothered me that he didn't say goodbye to me the morning I wrote this post!  He said what I suspected... that this was the first time I ever noticed that he left without saying goodbye, and he doesn't like to wake me up... but said that he'd wake me up to say goodbye from now on.  I figured since I wake him up when I leave that it was a clue that I prefer it that way... obviously we are on different wavelengths. :)  Now I feel bad for crawling in bed right before I leave and waking him up to say goodbye!

    My husband leaves before me in the morning. He kisses me good morning while I am still in bed. We hug and as he leaves I say,

    "Have fun storming the castle!"

    He says, "Do you think it'll work?"

    I say, "It would take a miracle!"

    Sometimes I get out of bed and wave to him from the front doorway as he walks down the hall of our apartment building as we say this. Our relationship is also peppered with declarations of "I'm not a witch I'm your wife!"

    I work from home, so I almost never wake up before him. When he leaves, he kisses me goodbye and then puts the dog in the bed with me and kind of tucks us in. It's so sweet! I have been trying to get up early with him in the mornings. It's hard to wake up, but he told me how much he loves to have coffee with me in the morning and now I feel guilty if I sleep in!

    I'm not working at the moment so if I'm dead asleep he won't kiss me goodbye otherwise I would wake up, when I was working I was always up before him and would always give him a big smooch before I left :) I do get phone calls from him throughout his workday though.
