I hate sharing a bed with dh

[NeedACleverNN]

I love him to bits but seriously sometimes it's hard not to smother him in his sleep!

Despite knowing I like my space, he still ends up wiggling closer and closer to me, finally ending up trying to spoon me. He gets an elbow in the gut for that.

He has a bad habit of sleeping with his legs in the air, which then crash down on the bed.

I like sleeping with the duvet cacooned around me.

He lifts it slightly so there's a draft going down my back.

He literally turns into an 8 legged lead octopus when he's asleep. One limb everywhere and weighs a ton so I can't move him.

He manages to angle his head so he is breathing directly in my face

It's all silly petty things I get that and at weekends he sleeps downstairs so I can get some proper rest, but I am not sleeping when he is bed.

He won't entertain separate beds.
He's worried that it's going to push us apart.

I'm worried I'm going to commit murder if I continue to lose sleep.

I'm waking up with a splitting headache and it makes me very irritable.

What can I do?

Well, I was planning on the 'cuddle in double bed then flounce to single to sleep' thing, but DH tends to cover most of the double bed in washing, laptops, books and random bits of DIY, which makes it harder.

Thinking about it, when we have zee sex it tends to be downstairs, perhaps because he can't break through all that duvet and find me, and if he did I wouldn't be able to see or hear him? -- This made me laugh, Tatty!

Have you got enough room in your bedroom for a super king size bed? Really quite a lot more spacious than a king size and makes bed sharing more tolerable

Ah, didn't rtt but have just scanned it - apols

Have been sleeping alone this week while dosed with a cold. DH is in spare room to get away from my hacking cough. Apart from being as sick as a small hospital, it has been blissful having the space all to myself
