Sleeping with your spouse is way overrated.

Despite the downsides, i like it

She snores cutely, so i can tease her about it (and it doesn't bother me). However the doona hogging is annoying, as is the elbows, and the insane body temp

I sleep very soundly tho, and talk in my sleep, and i kick (just one leg, randomly) when i'm drunk, so i get my own back i think

Hey Aussie, what the crap is a "doona"???

My gf radiates so much heat. It's hot here in cali even at night and I have to leave the fan on pointing at me to keep from getting a heatstroke. She also has the tendency to swing her arms around hitting me in the eye. She had a dream she was playing tennis once and started swinging her arm around. You may have a big bed, but I have to share a twin with this woman ( I share house with others and my room is small ) and sometimes I wake up on the ground.

My girlfriend and I fell asleep on the couch with her head on my chest, it was really comfortable... I guess I love cuddling.

One of my ex-gfs was a blanket hog. One morning I woke up completely uncovered and looked to see her completely wrapped in the blanket. She was so tightly rolled that I had to help her get out of it. I asked her what she would have done had she been alone. She said, "rolled around until it became loose enough for me to crawl out." Clearly she had done that before.

Buy a fan to put beside the bed, an extra blanket and rekindle the romance?

They both start in their own beds but eventually end up in ours more often than not.

Send those kids to their own bed. That's just not right.

You know how teenagers are. You can tell them to stay in their own bed, but they won't listen.

my ex and i had real issues sleeping together only because we were both blanket hogs, sone onne of us woudl always wake up freezing cause the other stole it, got an extra blanket, never had the issue again

Patented steps to solving your bed problems:

1) More sex(or bigger bed)
2) Overhead fan
3) ....
4) Sleep

Get a job doing manual labor, you won't have trouble sleeping.

Snoring = Dealbreaker

Don't get me wrong - I love my wife dearly and enjoy her close physical proximity, just so long as I'm not trying to reach a blissful state of unconsciousness. And I'm not trying to pretend that every accusation I'm about to make doesn't apply to me as well. I think my problem is that at age 35, I've finally gotten over the instant thrill of being in a large bed with my scantily-clad wife at those times when I know the only goal is not sex but instead to pass out into oblivion.

First there is the snoring. Its a girly, soft snore that doesn't happen all that often, but it is still there occassionally. Then there is the waking up with a pointy elbow firmly lodged in either my throat or one of my eye sockets. Don't get me started on the never-ending struggle that is blanket-hogging. Also, somehow my "half" of the bed ends up being the 1/7th portion that is on the very edge of the mattress. When she's restless, she flops around like a fish out of water. Each and every one of the many times she gets up to go to the restroom each night, I bolt straight up, convinced in my groggy half-awakedness that Charles Manson has come to visit. And her body temperature is something like 178 degrees, so If I'm within five feet of her I'm baking in my own juices.

All I want is cool, peaceful, quiet snooze time. Is that so wrong???

but her feet are ice cold!! :laugh:

True. I'm just curious how you knew that....

i'm married too dude!

LOL... another reason why I should be a Spinster

dont have any of these problems when your girl is sleeping on the other side of a matress so big its got its own zipcode...


and man your wife snores... thats kinda weird.... none of my SOs have ever snored LOL..

my dad has snored as long as hes been married to my mother: 24 years.

its bothered my mother the whole time. hes up around 5 or 6 am, and he snores. she *likes* it when hes out of town because she gets a decent nights rest.

about a year ago, she started, she calls it revenge.

You may think that sleeping with your spouse overrated. But you've never felt the other side of the story.

I'm a person who really craves physical touch - hand holds, hugs, cuddles, etc. Ever since I can remember I've wanted to sleep in spoon position with a woman. I had an 11 year realtionship (6 married) in which I never once had slept cuddling her. Even on the Honeymoon she needed a 5 foot long body pillow AND a quilted blanket between us at all times when sleeping. It just eats and eats at you that you can't cuddle while sleeping. And it really kills any chance at middle of the night or early morning sex.

Just last weekend I finally slept in the spoon position with my GF. It was the most heavenly thing I've ever done. Skin on skin, arms and legs tangled. All night long. Sure my arm fell asleep 3 hours before I could. Sure I was a bit hot at times. But it was pure joy. Instant intimacy the instant we woke up too. That never happened with the ex and the layers of pillows/sheets/blankets between us. I can't wait for the weekend to try it again!

Don't bash it, you may one day lose it and regret it.

I can only fit 4 girls in my cali king. But we do end up sleeping quite comfortably.

I hear there is an even longer and wider bed. I forget the name now though.

 

[Accipiter22]

I can't stand sleeping in the same bed as a girl. that's why I don't let them sleep over.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Sex or no sex prior to falling asleep, my GF and I live to cuddle. We sleep WAY later than usual and even try to take naps together. Snoring is not a big issue for us, though body heat can be if the room is not properly cooled. On the whole it's wonderful. She's my cuddle bunny.
