Sleeping with your spouse is way overrated.

[CycloWizard]

Just play a game of Fart Football and she'll let you sleep on your own forever.

I always liked sleeping in the same bed as a SO, I like cuddling but I need my space when its time for sleep, get offa me!! Thankfully I have a king bed so when nights are spent at my place, its all good

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:

Aint that the truth

My parents havnt slept together consistently in years due to the difference in times they go to bed. I didnt know it wasnt rare.

ROFL! All true!

 

[GeekDrew]

I'm not lucky enough at the moment as to have a SO, but I have cuddled with a couple of people before... only one time have I actually enjoyed it.

I could see myself putting up with the sore back and little sleep if it meant being able to cuddle with someone at night. Of course, I could also be happy with not cuddling most of the time... as long as we could sometimes. I obviously prefer it, but I'll give it up for his preference, comfort, and sleep time.

Foursome? That's not right...

 

[RCN]

Agreed......I sleep on the couch. At first it was because are schedules were different but now I prefer it...

 

[astrocase]

Worst I had was a SO that wasn't only a blanket thief, but a sheet thief. I'd wake up on a bare mattress with no blanket. At least I had the pillow.....

You gotta have two blankets with women like that.

 

[jennyacute]

i like sleeping with my SO, as long as he doesnt start snoring

 

[Staples]

I think part of the problem is that she is just a bad bed mate (or whatever). I never roll or blanket hog. Some people seem to do this and there really is nothing that can be done about it.

Geeesh! You sound like a woman, b*tch, b*tch, b*tch! (kidding)

Seriously, I feel your pain and know where you are coming from. Of course I'm the bed hog, blanket thief, cold footed, fish flopper too.. LOL

But you know you love her, and you sure wouldn't sleep if she were permanently gone. So remember to appreciate the ones you love. Get a bigger bed or something (maybe two blankets).

Jeesh, time for a new wife. forget that one.

Great thread and post NuclearNed. It's all so true.

You've slept with a lot of drunken sailors?

what a drag it is getting older...

Solution:

1. Eat baked beans, broccoli, and crab cakes 20 minutes before bed.
2. Pull covers over her head.
3. Yell, "INCOMING!!!" and release the maelstrom from your bowels.
4. Profit!

!!!WARNING!!! Do NOT smoke in bed while attempting this.

Get her to the doc! My snoring went away along with my deviated septum.

Get a new wife because the current one occasionally snores and hogs the blanket? Jeesh, no wonder you cycle through them so fast, Dave. :laugh:

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.

Then one of you farts, and the moment ends.

Hahahaha ... did that too. She got me back and then some yet again, and also returned the favor.

Good thread :thumbsup:
