Do it and watch him jump

Wear thick socks!

Shodan · 27/04/2013 21:51

Absolutely.

And he should warm your side of the bed before you get in.

There's a Law about it somewhere, I'm sure.

YANBU. I've been doing this for years. Wink

MrsAFlowerpot · 27/04/2013 21:56

YADNBU

DH and I discuss argue this topic constantly Grin

StuntGirl · 27/04/2013 21:57

I am cold like a frigging iceberg, I frequently warm my cold hands on my partners warm body! Grin

butterflyexperience · 27/04/2013 22:00

Haha he's jumped a few times already Wink

Socks are not going to work this time Hmm

Ohh I like the suggestion of him warming my side if bed too. MN is a wonderful place Smile

Funnily enough my dh gets abit aggrieved by me warming my icy feet on him. Caused many an argument. Must be a common problem.

Shodan · 27/04/2013 22:26

This is how it goes: DH gets into bed on my side to warm it up. He scoots over, I jump in. He turns on his side facing away from me and bends his legs. I tuck my feet into the crook of his knees and he bends his legs more to snuggle them in securely.

Result: toasty toes Grin

You need to offer to trade - your cooling hand on his oh so overheated forehead early evening in front of the tv in return for him warming your feet later on in bed Grin

Kasterborous · 27/04/2013 22:38

Not at all I have the same problem with my DH complaining about my cold iceberg feet.

gonerogue · 27/04/2013 22:38

Shodan I am going to show DH your post. He hates having cold feet anywhere near him and I am constantly telling him other men do it. Now I have concrete evidence. Thanks

OP definitely NBU, although I fear you are going to have a battle on your hands.

5madthings · 27/04/2013 22:40

Yanbu I always do this! Dp doesn't mind too much

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/04/2013 01:58

I'm pregnant. My feet hurt from being cold

I'm an NHS Podiatrist and I can catergorically state that Babies steal the blood from your feet Shock

LittleFeileFooFoo · 28/04/2013 02:01

ISn't this in the booklet guys get when they get married, "thou shalt warm her feet?"

MartyrStewart · 28/04/2013 02:07

I pretty much knew DP was the man for me when I crawled into bed late one night.

I was freezing, he was asleep.

When I accidentally made contact with him, in his slumber, I expected him to recoil.

Instead he wrapped his sleeping form around me, defrosting my icy core in seconds and wrapping my icy trotters in a cocoon of steaming ManFeet.

Reader, I married him. Wink

As someone who has a husband with iceberg feet, the best way to get a warm up is get them to come your way for a cuddle rather than you go to them. That way when he overheats he can roll away from u and back to a cold side of bed.

butterflyexperience · 28/04/2013 10:02

I didn't get my way last night Hmm

But love the stories of men warming their women's cold feet. Something very gallant about it all Smile

The only trouble is, of course, that on hot summer nights (or peri-menopausal ones), DH is about as welcome as a hot water bottle. So he gets prodded and moaned at for being 'like a bloody furnace' and occasionally sent downstairs.

Some women are never happy Grin

TiggyD · 28/04/2013 14:04

YABVU. Get yourself one of those giant tartan wool-lined slipper things and stop being annoying. He has a right to warm legs.

cocolepew · 28/04/2013 14:07

YABU, DH tries to do this to me. I hate it and he has the bruises to prove it Grin.

KirjavaTheCat · 28/04/2013 14:08

Of course you're not being unreasonable!

I like to score OH out of ten for his manly composure. He's quite good at not wincing.
