    This is how this conversation would go with my wife and I:

    “Oh god! You’re finally awake!!! Babe, you’ve been asleep for two years!!!”

    “What are you talking about?”

    “Look how long you’ve been gone!”

    “Everything looks exactly the same as when I went to sleep.”

    “No it isn’t! Look at my hair!”

    “Oh, did you get a haircut? It looks nice.”

    I’m not good with details.

    Am I the only one that would probably be gaslit into believing it and be really really pissed off when I learned the truth?

      It would depend on how long the joke goes on and to what extreme. “5 minutes super confused, until I look at my phone” = okay "An elaborate prank where she changed all the dates that lasts 20 minutes = okay “A day of being told my family died, world ended, etc” = not okay.

      Honestly I would be angry too. But then after I would have completely woken up I would laugh about it. And think of a payback. Maybe even something involving a moist, cold sponge.

        My brother-in-law once put a slice of bread on my sleeping sister’s stomach, and when their dog (a very gluttonous beagle) started chowing down, woke her up by shaking her while shouting “the dog is eating your flesh!”.
