To just want to sleep next to someone?

[caramelwafflelidl]

I split with my ex two years ago, it wasn’t a bad marriage as such, no abuse or cheating.He was just very lazy, didn’t listen to me, I didn’t feel like he cared about my well-being or happiness. Just very selfish and thought of himself.

I loved sleeping next to him in bed, I would find it difficult to sleep at night when he wasn’t home. Towards the end of our marriage, even though I wasn’t happy I would sometimes ask him to come to bed with me, and then leave once I’ve fallen asleep

He’s in a new relationship down the road from me, and I feel sad that she gets to sleep next to him every night. I don’t want him back as I know what life is like with me, but I just want to sleep next to someone.

Anyone else feel the same?

Get yourself on of those big orthopaedic/maternity pillows to put in the bed next to you...it will also remind you of your ex as it won't do any housework either

Be careful what you wish for. Sleeping next to someone who snores like a steam train can be genuinely bad for your health. #SleepDeprivation
Find a nice big pregnancy pillow to cuddle up to and put on your house alarm to feel safe.

Oh god no. Iv always preferred sleeping alone

God, I'm desperate to sleep alone. Marriage has broken down, no spare room, very small sofa, double bed (not even king), we can't bear touching each other. I spend the night lying on my side on the very edge of the bed and it's horrible. Def try a big pillow to hug next to you OP but wallow in the space and peace.

My cat sleeps next to me

@missmouse101 I felt like that too! In the beginning I was relieved that he was gone, the stress and all that! But after 2 years, I'm starting to miss having someone in the house, and sleeping next to them 

@formerbabe I'll look into getting the pillow! Just did a quick google search and it looks very comfy

A cat (or two) always worked for me, despite their snoring and noisy dreams.

😳

I love sleeping alone, I love DH so much more now he is in a different room!

When that thought pops into your head, also make an effort to remember all the bad things you didn’t like about being with him - write a list of you have to! Then after a while when you think of sleeping next to him you’ll think about all the bad stuff too and it won’t seem so inviting.

Also make invest in a weighted blanket if you can, that might help.

Cats all the way!

Dp moved in with his dad when this all kicked off because he’s so social and was hugely stressed and worried about being lonely. I’m missing dp, but not the fucking snoring, and god it’s good being able to stretch out in bed!! He’s 6ft 8 and takes up a LOT of room.

You can actually buy adult size teddy bears - and believe it or not they don't look as creepy as they sound! After all normal size teddies are for babies and they are their actual size so why not ones for adults. Just think of it OP.. all the comfort of having something to snuggle into, without any of the man crap
