To label my husbands pillow with his initial so I wont make the mistake of using it instead of mine

[cyb]

Horrible dribbly old thing

And the pillows not great either

Brilliant plan.

Definitely NBU. Dunno what my husand does with his, but after one night it is RANK.

How would you read the initial in the dark though? (Or when half asleep)

YANBU

The things mine does to his make me shudder.

I know which pillow belongs to my DH by his smell. It's not dirty it's just him. One of my greatest hates is anyone else putting their head on my pillow, or me having to put my head near anyone else's pillow smell.

Just gross.

Bertie - clearly she has to embroider it in French Knots, the better to be able to read it with her fastidious fingertips in the dark!

Yes when I take it out of its pillow protector its like a bloody sepia map of the world

Of course I realise what a hypocrite I am. I kiss him FFS

Reshape I might be able to manage a knobbly running stitch

yuk. YANBU.

yanbu. XP's pillow was stained with fluids. . They were binned when he went.

I would chuck the pillow if it is that bad! Can't abide smelly pillows!

YANBU as I've already done this (biro mark on the label). I don't want to use dh's horrid sweaty pillow thanks very much!

pengy tis a new pillow, I have initialled them before, didnt initial this last one and slept very fitfully wondering if it was his or mine

Ah - I have festher pillows and he like synthetic ones shudder

His is a sodden mess and I know I dont dribble!

leave the smelly bastard

Do you not have 'his' side of the bed and 'your' side of the bed? We do and I'm careful when changing bedlinen that the pillows don't get mixed up? Plus mine is an expensive memory foam and his isn't.

I do that too BarkisIsWillin but I've still marked them because on the extremely rare occasions that dh strips and changes the bed, I know he will just put everything back randomly and then my system will be ruined.

Dh often stays in bed after me and uses my pillow! It drives me nuts especially as he picks his nose in bed!

My DH buys himself a new pillow and then beats it to a pulp in his sleep so its in a little sweaty knot and then accuses me of stealing his 'nice' pillow when I change the sheets... so yes I mark the pillows and the case and present him with the evidence. He doesn't believe me though

Ah true Bark. Me and DP sleep in shifts since he works nights, which is handy as we're both fairly diagonal sleepers, and end up using every one of the four over the course of the night.

I've been considering this! :)

Assuming you want to be discreet? Use those UV pens that you use for secretly marking valuables - that way he won't realise and you can still id your own ...

or buy diff brands so that you can see at a glance from labels
or better still have sep bedrooms like the victorians ... that's what I would do if we had the space!

I always wrote our initials on our pillows can't stand using anyone else's

Genius!

an embroidered or lace-trimmed pillowcase will do the trick. You can identify it in the dark

And perhaps a quilted washable pillow cover, inside the pillowcase, to catch the bodily fluids.
