To think that lying in bed with your arm up in the air is weird

[Girlwhowearsglasses]

Lighthearted: but still annoying.

DP has always done it, sort of just before going to sleep, or if I'm reading something to him in bed: he puts his arm straight up in the air above him/me. He says it's relaxing and he's done it since he was a kid. I say it's mental and annoying and makes me claustrophobic. He then says I am over sensitive and that all women would love their DP to hold an arm in the air above them.

AIBU?

"I can't believe there's so many of you waving your arms in the air! Why??"

I don't wave it around! (like that makes all the difference). I just sort of stick it straight up.

Haha! I tried the arm thing and it didn't help but I had sciatica in my leg so I stuck my leg in the air and waggled my feet up and down and it did seem to help

I do this. It's a thing. YABU and controlling. Let DP put his arm where he wants to!

The sensation for me is about achieving balance in your arm, feeling the bones lined up. Or something.

I can't believe other people do this! I agree with a PP if you get the right angle the arm is almost weightless. I've done it since I was a kid, it feels nice!

I did this last night and had forgotten how nice it feels. Then DP bent it back down so he could snuggle. Bastard.
