To LTB over his bed sheet habits?

So my DH has a habit that has driven me nuts from day one. Honestly right now I can't remember why I married the man.

We have a beautiful, super king size, extra deep, extra fancy and weighing a literal fuck ton mattress. It's possibly my favourite thing on earth - except when it comes to making the bed.

My dh has this habit where he pulls the top corner of the fitted sheet - under his pillows - out from tucked nice and neatly under the mattress and wraps himself in it at night. So every frigging morning I've got a big wrinkle of fitted sheet down the middle of the bed where it's all come off and loose AND it's flicked off at my side and is usually covering my pillows.

Now we have discussed this many times. He sees no reason to make the bed properly each morning "as I'm only going to do it again tonight when I'm asleep". However! I've just caught the bastard red handed loosening my pristine hospital corners so that he can get to it easier!

I'm packing his bags and booting him out.

Please tell me I'm not alone. What stupid shit does your OH do that drives you to the brink of insanity?

I’m more worried that my phone defaults to rape and not tape!!!!!!
😱😱😱😱

What with all the adult male swaddling and the gaffa hand raping, this thread is quite, um, characterful! Bear

donajimena · 20/10/2018 23:01

I'd have to LTB. When my OH stays he likes to wedge the duvet between his legs. It got to the point where I nearly banned overnights. My nice clean bedding jammed between someones arse and balls made my teeth itch.
Cotton shorts have restored bedroom harmony Grin

InspectorIkmen I’m rolling Grin

Op I would actually kill him

Why can’t he wrap himself in another sheet!!!

IdblowJonSnow · 20/10/2018 23:03

Snorting at gaffa rape! Best not try that!

LuluJakey1 · 20/10/2018 23:03

With DH it is him radiating heat. I like a cold bedroom and cool bed. He is useful when it is freezing in winter but drives me mad the rest if the time. Also the talking to me. So I will be almost asleep or half awake about to go back to sleep and he starts a conversation about something he has read on the internet, or something he has been thinking about. However, I am very drawn to him physically so tolerate this Grin
When we moved to this house I have almost banished him from our ensuite. Thete is a bathroom next door so I make him use that- have convinced him that is 'his' bathroom. I love having the ensuite to myself. He is allowed to pee in there in the middle of the night but that is all, and only if he sits down. I have just encouraged him with 'his' bathroom and he hasn't even realised. Mine is pristine.

Wauden · 20/10/2018 23:05

You could always use Holdingonbarely's gaffa tape on the bed sheet corners, if Holding isn't using it for, ahem, hand activities Grin

FunSponges · 20/10/2018 23:07

WTF is that about!!!! No jury would convict OP.

amilosingitor · 20/10/2018 23:07

My dp doesn't wrap himself in it but he manages to accidentally do this every night and like you it drives me fucking insane

TheHauntedHouseAteMyBrownie · 20/10/2018 23:07

OP you need these! (Or just kick him out of the bed! Wink )

GiraffeObsessedBaby · 20/10/2018 23:07

Oh god "gaffa rape" has literally had me in tears laughing. Love it!

I'm so glad to know I'm not alone! My DH and my DM (when I complain to her) think I'm weird about bed sheets. It has to be perfect! He also manages to roll the quilt away from the cover edges so it ends up in a bunch in the middle. That has made me murderous many a night. Can't count the number of times I've literally kicked him out the bed at 3am turned the lights on and completely remade the bed because of him.

Cant he get a seperate sheet And wrap himself in it before he gets into bed?

Haffiana · 20/10/2018 23:13

O god, one of my sons does this. He is going to get murdered by his future OH...

NotUmbongoUnchained · 20/10/2018 23:14

My husband sleeps diagonally. No matter what position he starts in, he will sleep diagonally across the bed. All 6ft4 of him.

seventhgonickname · 20/10/2018 23:14

I can't sleep on wrinkly sheet either.I am divorced so now no one rolls themselves in the duvet leaving me waking up cold.I can spread out ,no wrinkles,a nice wool duvet that is all mine.

Unicyclethief · 20/10/2018 23:14

It has driven you mad since day one? Why was there even a second date? Weird.

cathy87 · 20/10/2018 23:15

Two single mattresses on the same base with separate sheets and duvets?

PippaRabbit · 20/10/2018 23:17

Buy him a special sheet to wrap himself in then bury him in it under the patio job done Grin

GiraffeObsessedBaby · 20/10/2018 23:18

@Unicyclethief sorry I should have specified day one of living together. Quite obviously this wouldn't have been a first date issue 

I'm sooo tempted by the two singles lol but I love my mattress. It's so bloody comfy!!!

GiraffeObsessedBaby · 20/10/2018 23:18

@PippaRabbit I like your thinking

I assume the OP didn't shag him on day one or know of his sheet fetish?

BabyNumberDeux · 20/10/2018 23:20

We used to have an awkward mattress and I just used to use safety pins on the corners to hold the fitted sheet in place. 😁
My DH snores really loudly but refuses to try anything to stop it!

You know you said you wonder why you married the man? I have to ask...how did you get as far as marryng a man than swaddles himself like a baby? I just couldn’t.

That aside. Anyone messing with my linen wouldn’t live to tell the tale. I’ll be your alibi and I have space under the patio.

BruegelTheElder · 20/10/2018 23:28

I don't get why he doesn't just use the duvet. Or get a cover sheet and use that?
