To LTB over his bed sheet habits?

GiraffeObsessedBaby · 20/10/2018 22:32

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?

That would drive me mad. My DH does a thing (it has a name, I've Googled it in the middle of the night before) where just as I'm falling off to sleep he, already asleep, leaps up, makes a really loud and sudden gasping noise, turns to the side, looks over the side bed and mutters loudly. Every. Fucking. Night. Scares the crap out of me every time even though I know it's going to happen then makes to harder for me to fall asleep.

How gave you got hospital corners on a fitted sheet?

LanceStatersGold · 21/10/2018 14:31

I think you need to gift him his own personal fitted sheet that he can wrap himself in without disrupting any of the bedding. Then he can fold it nicely in the morning and you can make your beautiful bed just how you like it.

Every night!!!

PuppyMonkey · 21/10/2018 14:35

He needs one of those baby gro bags.Grin

LakieLady · 21/10/2018 14:40

Handcuff the fucker.

Or make him sleep in a sleeping bag.

RestingBitchFaced · 21/10/2018 14:40

Kill him, and bury him in the sheet

HeckyPeck · 21/10/2018 14:46

Oops - massive link there!

Ariela · 21/10/2018 14:46

Put 2 fitted sheets on, one attached so he can't get it off and a loose one for him to roll in.

I would try a second fitted sheet just for him, keep the original one on the bed, and at night he gets a single fitted sheet just loosely laid on his side that he can tuck himself into.

Wauden · 21/10/2018 17:13

Get him adult swaddling bands and an adult nappy

Would something like this help?

Get him a gro bag Grin

ShadyLady53 · 21/10/2018 18:45

Oh shit. I accidentally do this in my sleep...Apparently I roll myself up ”like a mummy”

It’s subconscious. I can’t help it. It really upsets people.

LTB. I’ll take him.

ShadyLady53 · 21/10/2018 18:47

I’ve tried sleeping bags btw. I spend the night “doggy paddling” in them.

My ex used to sleepwalk. When he was in a sleeping bag he used to hop around like a 6”4 giant bunny rabbit.

Soubriquet · 21/10/2018 18:54

My dh used to sleep with his knees in the air, and then the whole bed would jerk as he would stop his knees from touching the bed Angry

I used to have to wake up and force his knees down.

Then his sexsomnia started and he felt so bad he started to sleep on the sofa.

I now have my bed all to myself and love every minute of it Grin

He doesn’t like that we can’t sleep in the same bed but fully understands. Plus it probably helps I’m a pissy bitch when I don’t get enough sleep

OMG!!! GrinGrinGrin

I think I would have had to record that and wet myself laughing every time I watched it

HearMeSnore · 21/10/2018 19:03

Oh god I'd have to sew the sheet to the damn mattress. That's one despicable habit he's got there.

Separate bedrooms is the only way. We stopped pretending about a year ago and I've not looked back. He can kick, hog the duvet, get up at stupid o'clock and turn all the lights on and fart to his heart's content. Meanwhile I can snore, read my book for as long as I like and starfish myself across the whole bed. When we get to our golden wedding and people ask us what the secret of a successful marriage is I will make no bones about it. Get the fucker out of your bedroom.

Disfordarkchocolate · 21/10/2018 19:04

My husband alternates between wrapping himself up like a sausage roll and uncovering his feet so he can kick off the duvet so it's on top of me. I am saving up for a bigger bed, I'll then get two single duvets and sleep in peace.

MoaningSickness · 21/10/2018 19:06

I couldn't share a bed with someone who did this. Why can't he just use a separate sheet if he wants to wrap himself up?

DoinItForTheKids · 21/10/2018 19:07

Not sure if someone's suggested this yet, but, what about if you buy him his own single or small double unfitted bedsheet - it can be swaddled round him in the night without him having to pick your side loose in order for him to do it, the swine.

DoinItForTheKids · 21/10/2018 19:08

To be clear, the fitted sheet would still be there, he'd just reach for his own sheet and wrap that round himself.

Devillanelle · 21/10/2018 19:09

Just put two fitted sheets on the bed 😀
