When leaving for work how so you...

How to Say Goodbye When Leaving for Work

When leaving for work, many choose to give a quick kiss, leave a note, or quietly leave without disturbing their partner's sleep. The best approach depends on your relationship and schedule. Communicating your preferences helps maintain connection even with different work hours.

Depart from your s.o. if you work say opposite schedules and they are sleeping soundly. Do you wake them? Give them a little kiss? Not do anything? Leave a note?

Curious what other people do. My bf works odd shifts...it's never the same from one day to the next. Sometimes he's up at the ass crack of dawn, other times we spend the morning together and at times I leave before him.

We try to "snuggle" for 5 minutes after the alarm goes off. But like this morning he hardly even responded ro me when i left. He worked until 1am. Im not mad, or hurt just curious how other people say their goodbyes in the AM.

They are sleeping soundly... :/

Who are they?

Anyways, if i find my bf snores besides me, I would simply kiss him gently.

If he doesn't snore, i would trace his chest gently and stare at his peaceful sleeping face..

If I want him to remember me by the time he gets ready to work (assuming I'm still asleep), then prior to my sleeping time, I would arrange something special at his favourite place at home.. Or, change positionings of items at home and feel giddy to find out if he is aware of that πŸ™‚

When I was with my ex-bf, I would always kiss him on the cheek & say goodbye. Sometimes he’d keep sleeping but mostly he woke up partly enough to say bye babe.. and kiss me. One time he bitched I always wake him up,... so I said I could stop doing it.. he said please don’t 😁

Haha we call that an "irrational morning".

Thats all very sweet.

Well we work together, so see each other a lot. He starts earlier than me usually. Sometimes he wakes me up to say goodbye or I just wake up. But lately he just goes because I am about to give birth so he rather I stay asleep

Awww!!! Congratulations, Koni!!! πŸ’‘πŸ‘ΌπŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’“

I typically leave him alone when I leave for work, since he works from home. I just get all the cuddles and lovings when I come home instead.

Interesting. Im one of those people if i dont get at least a kiss on the cheek or forehead it can ruin my whole day.

I like this answer tho. Becasue i want to be okay with not needing that affection

Depends, sometimes i get up with him and make breakfast and stuff but if I’m really tired i sleep in and he kisses me goodbye. Once we both are at work we text eachother good morning every morning.

He works at 6am and tries to leave by 5:20. So I'm usually dozing as he's getting ready.

He gives me a kiss before he heads out. RIP my morning breath lol

Leo mars is a big cuddler so he usually spoons me all night.

I find it really cute that he will still text me a good morning text, even on the mornings I see him.

My guy does the same. He'll send me a heart emoji on his way to work. Even if we spent the whole morning together. He sent me a barrage of texts this morning apologizing for not waking up when i left. I tols him nbd...you were tired.

You guys sound cute and like a really good balance

I leave the man alone and let him sleep. Maybe kiss him like 1x a month... he is sleeping anyway and will not wake up if someone blew a trumpet in his face.

If he is already awake, he probably will receive a task or a chore I would like him to do while I am working πŸ˜†

Lmao...its a learned behavior to sleep then lmao.

Kiss on the forehead or cheek and I leave. I don’t wake them up. If I’m feeling rushed, I’ll just leave.

I guess maybe im ocd. Id feel weird and id turn my car around d and kiss them bye. My world feels out of whack if i don't show affection upon leaving.

Im one of those people who feels like, god forbid something happends to me or them. i want them to know they knew they were loved and i gave them the "last kiss"...super mobid πŸ˜‚

LOL no he's never safe. If the task or chore is dire enough, he will be woken to hear it and it best be done by the time I get home too πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

You dont live together right? Im starting to relaize its nice not seeing eachother too much. I think that's why boredom has always set in for me, in the past.

I never did anything with my husband. Im not that type of person and it would piss me off to get woken up for a cuddle

You sound just like my libra friend. He hates to be touched wheb she sleeps. She actually prefers her own room.

Yup! I dont want cuddles to sleep or any of that.

Like once its bedtime, leave me alone

We actually tried to move in. We looked at places and made a plan. But timing isn't right until he's done with school just based off of the commute.

Its nice in a way cause you get psyched to see each other and have something to look forward to each week.

My Sag man lightly kisses me, he said he knows I need to sleep when I can. I work a lot and have always liked to sleep.

He on the other hand loves if I wake him up. He would be overly excited if I woke him up to cuddle every morning. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
