Okay, I've had enough of this. Honey. Babe.
I know you're not asleep, don't ignore me. Baby. Babe.
You are tossing and turning like a crocodile. What's going on? Um, you most certainly are.
And as much as I love you, you're driving me insane. And we both know I'm already insane enough. And we both know I'm already insane enough, so we need to find a solution.
Preferably one that gets us to sleep really quickly. Yeah, I like that idea. So, I propose this.
Come here. I insist. Because I have work really early and I love you and all that stuff.
Come on. Excuse me, you just woke me up. How am I supposed to respond? Come here.
Come. You know I love you, I'm just not really conscious, so it's hard to list the ways. Do you want me to list the ways? Oh, such a needy baby.
Don't fight it. I won't believe you anyway, so shh. You're so salty.
There's nothing wrong with being needy. I kind of like it when you are. Makes me feel wanted.
Hmmmm. Smug? Oh, well, yeah, I guess so.
Come on, don't deny me that, which gives me so much joy. What is the point of having a big strong boyfriend if you can't make fun of him when he's so needy? Oh, stop it.
Nobody cares. Women like it when you're all soft and squishy and needy. Of course.
Why do you think we keep you around? Shush, shush, shush, shush, shush. You need to stop talking and go to sleep.
Because I might smother you with a pillow if you don't. So it's either the violent road or the smoochy-koochy road. Your pick.
I like to give you options. I actually like it this way around. Me holding you.
My little damsel in distress. Okay, I'll stop. I mean, I'll stop, I'll stop, I'll stop, I'll stop, I'll stop, I promise.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What can I say? When I wake up in the middle of the night, I just.
.. It's like peak teasing time. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know.
I know. You're sensitive. I'm just kidding.
You're not a damsel. You're my big, strong man who just sometimes needs little cuddles. Or maybe big cuddles.
No, I'm not making fun of you. Babe, we all like to be held. It's natural.
I don't think I'd like it if you were all stoic and like, that's enough. I'm needy too. I wouldn't survive.
No, no, no, no, no. I know. I know you haven't been sleeping well.
You know why? Something happened. I don't know.
Work, or. .. With your mom.
I know you guys are going through a bit of a rough patch. I'm sure she means well, you know. Even if she's a bit intrusive at times, like.
.. I think she's a good egg. I most certainly do not think everyone's a good egg.
There are some pretty standout bad ones, according to me. Not like your dad, don't be mean. He's nice.
In his own way. Oh, come on. Give him some credit.
I know, I know. He said what he said, but. ..
Come on, someday we'll be out of touch and obsolete. It's. ..
It's part of the process. I'm serious. Someday, when our child brings home their alien boyfriend-slash-gender-neutral-partner thing.
.. They'll look at us and be like, Mom, Dad, you are so ignorant. I can't wait.
I won't. I've been telling you that I'm an old woman since the day you met me. It's time that I took my full form.
What? Uh. ..
Yeah. Of course I imagine us staying together that long. I don't play the shirt game, baby.
Ugh, can you imagine changing partners like every six months or something? Ugh. I'm not even joking.
I honestly couldn't think of anything more gross or anxiety-inducing. Don't make me think about it. What do you mean, why? Because it's one person.
I want just one. I don't. ..
Wait, what do you mean, why? Do you want more than one person? Good recovery.
You're supposed to be sleeping. I'm not contemplating polyamorous relationships. I've had enough of it.
Enough of it. Oh, good God, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Because I'm petty and jealous and insecure and I don't need an environment that would inflate that. No. And neither would you.
What do I mean? I mean this in the most loving and sensitive and thoughtful way possible. But you are the most jealous bitch I've ever met.
No. Don't turn around and listen. I mean that with love.
You are not. .. No, you're not listening.
You're just. .. I just mean you, you know, you're.
.. You're pretty, um. ..
Well, you're. .. Well, you're.
.. You're pretty jealous. In a good way.
In a good way, of course. Of course, in a good way. Not in a.
.. No. Babe, you've never been controlling in your life, for God's sake.
Listen. I mean it in a, you know, you like, put your arms around me and make me feel safe. Or if some guy's creeping on me, make it clear that you're there.
I like it. I really like it. Oh, I'm sorry.
No. Honey, I like a jealous bitch. I like a needy, insecure, jealous bitch.
No, I. .. Not in an awful way.
In a sweet, romantic, wholesome way, like. .. You know, you're not insecure about yourself.
You're just like, I love you, please be there, and I'm like that. That's good. Oh.
.. I meant it nicely. Mm-hmm.
Really nicely. As nice as nice can be. Will you forgive me? Oh, well, too bad.
I'm going to sleep. This is a long-term relationship, bitch. Get used to it.
Come back to bed. Lay down. Oh, Mr.
Sensitive. Sit up. Whatever will I do with you? I absolutely am going to get what I want.
You're going to lay here. And you're going to let me kiss your ear. And you are going to forgive me.
Good boy. It's so nice when we work things out. Are you really complaining? With your head nestled in my soft titties.
Oh, not about that part, okay. Well, tomato tomorrow. As long as we understand each other.
I love you. Even when you can't admit the truth. That I am right and you are just kinda right.
It's okay, honey. I'm a woman. You'll never understand.
Well. Now be quiet and bury your head in deeper. You're not the only one who gets something out of it.
This is supposed to be about sleep. No. Baby.
No, I like it very much, but you are not going to distract me with titty play. You haven't been sleeping well. And we're going to solve that.
So stop fondling me. Fondling me. And go to sleep.
I know you can't help it. Just like every other man. Now stop it.
And go to sleep. There's supposed to be soothing kisses. Okay, okay.
Apparently you need something more PG-13. I can work with that.
