AIBU to expect DP to sleep at same end of the bed as me?

Is this really too much to expect?

If I can't sleep I move my pillow to the foot of the bed and drop off instantly. So YABU.

Yes PA... if you can't sleep, but to actively choose to top and tail with somebody whilst in a relationship with them is freakish, like 2rebecca says, its like sharing a bed with your sibling!

Maybe he's a Mr Man. Mr Topsy Turvy or Mr Upside down or Mr Knobhead.

Oh this made me laugh. I used to do this. I would start off the right way, but somehow always woke up in the morning with my feet on the pillow Grin

My husband thought it was cute.

But then, it was at the start of our relationship, and back then you think their farts are cute Grin

I would rather have seperate beds than sleep with a bloke who did this. It would not happen regularly. If you are both happy with it fine, if one of you isn't then it stops.

I've slept at the wrong end when cosleeping. DS would turn sideways, and it was either go sleep at the foot of the bed or get up at some ungodly hour Grin

To2012AndBeyondTheLimits · 29/12/2011 19:11

Btw, if you go to the other end too, what does he do?

I used to do this when I stayed in university accom. and had a single bed.
We'd have lots of sex a cuddle, then boyfriend would go one end and me the other so that we could sleep (and breathe).
He was lovely! :o

KittyFane · 29/12/2011 21:39

Just noticed thread has moved onto poo. My post doesn't read well in this context :(

CurlyJims · 30/12/2011 00:10

OP if he won't wash his feet, you can always fart at him...?

Buy a Californian King, I have no idea how DH sleeps because he is so far away. Wink

streakybacon · 30/12/2011 08:06

I sleep at the wrong end .

I start off at the top then when I wake in the night (as I always do - another one with insomnia issues) I take my pillow to the other end and get back to sleep no bother. If I stay at the proper end it's too warm and I can't get back to sleep.

Neither dh nor I has stinky feet. He does snore though and it helps to be further away.

It's not a problem. We both get our sleep and we're comfy.
