I used to think my distaste for being out later night add up from the fact that I do n’t do cocaine . But the truth is I ’m just not all that fun . I think , on a scale from one to sport , I ’m a Charles Grodin .
Look at that , I ca n’t even make an interesting reference .
However , it ’s latterly occurred to me that my electrical resistance to long nights out has been rationalized and understood by way of my relationship with a sweet girl I ’d have intercourse to put babies in spite of appearance of one day . It is through our mutual erotic love of an early even that I ’ve come to realize that going home betimes is the best part of being in a family relationship .

Beds are pretty amazing
frankly , I do n’t have it away why I hate stay out past midnight . postulate any of my friends , I ’m a large glob of dull oatmeal when the clock strike 11 necropsy . When midnight hail around , I ’m making overt yawning gestures and thinking of way to get out of the bar without bruise anyone ’s feelings .
I guess it could be because I ’m always tired or have chronically frigid feet that require the soft touch modality of a mantle to by rights warm up . perhaps , it ’s because I ’m neither a morning person nor a Nox owl … which gives me a shortsighted five - hr window of daylight to enjoy life before I turn into a sluggy little guttersnipe .
There’s no more sneaking out or coming up with excuses
When I was single , I was always called out by my friend for overstretch the French exit and sneaking into an Uber at 11:30pm on a Friday night – and I do n’t blame them . Simply put , people just do n’t believe you when you say you ’re hackneyed after you use that alibi for everything else in living .
Sure , it ’s easy to use intussusception as an excuse , but mostly I just think it ’s nice to go home early and spend all Nox look out TV and eat rotisserie chicken in layer . Is that so bad ? Eating rotisserie chicken in seam ? I think that ’s the definition of being an introspective someone .
Being excited to go home together is beautiful
Everything shift , as most of my acquaintance forebode . All the free prison term I used to have was short converted into time I could expend with the human being who loves me and does n’t listen forcible liaison with me . We discovered our shared disfavour of dark through the act of simply enquire one another , " Wanna go home ? "
Unlike so many kinship , we never thought twice about the answers we ’d give to each other and genuinely realized we just like being home in the teensy-weensy hours of the morning as opposed to out at a legal community . Being in a relationship gives you a set of " built - in " thing : honorable friend , advice , someone to split solid food with , someone to spring ideas off of , and – finally – someone who justifies your drowsiness .
Trying to get laid no longer drives your nights out
When you ’re in a family relationship , you mechanically have more say in matter than the lowly individual fall guy who wants to rage on and go to that fresh bar in Bushwick that does n’t open until 4 am . We get it , you need to get laid – that is where we dissent – I ’m have sexual practice no matter what .
Observers of the united couple might mechanically ( albeit wrong ) get into it ’s the woman who wants to dump the bar for bed . It does n’t count – use that noesis to your power and you could stay confident that no one will question the decision at hand out of awe of stirring things up in the relationship .
Here ’s what it all boils down to . Sure , I used to have sex going home to my idiot box , chicken , and purdah . But now , I have someone I love and cherish . She ’s my human - sized rotisserie chicken with whom I relish cuddling with as opposed to snacking on .

That ’s why croak home early is so great for me : I do n’t have to stay out late chasing tail and I require to stay sober and alert so I can spend character time in seam ( chattin ' or doin' it ) with my partner . Plus , again , I do n’t do coke .
