Am I just a wuss?

Our bedroom is set-up so that if you’re lying on the bed, the en-suite is to your left, and the bedroom door is to your right.

Last night, I went to bed first and decided I’d sleep on the right.

DH came up a little while later and we started watching a movie that was quite scary. When we finished, I was unnerved and asked DH to swap sides so that he could as nearer the door and could save me from approaching slasher killers.

He laughed, told me I was being silly and our rules are whoever is first to bed gets to choose the side so I needed to suck it up, and he was already comfortable and starting to snooze.

Yabu for not already having a specific side 🤣

IamnotSethRogan · 10/10/2022 14:37

I think I'm a wuss because I could not live with not having my own side

theemmadilemma · 10/10/2022 14:37

You don't have sides? 😱

LunaLoveLemon · 10/10/2022 14:38

Just echoing ‘who doesn’t have sides?!’

SarahSissions · 10/10/2022 14:38

Such anarchy exists in the world? YABU for now giving me nightmares

Winterfellismyhome · 10/10/2022 14:39

This sounds like a chaotic household. No sides?!

AtrociousCircumstance · 10/10/2022 14:39

So odd you don’t have your own side!

And no if he was nodding off it was a bit much to expect him to move.

You don’t have your own sides? I’m literally crying and shaking here with the triggering.

AriettyHomily · 10/10/2022 14:44

How do you not have a side?!?!

ZeroFuchsGiven · 10/10/2022 14:46

This is so odd, What do you mean you dont have sides? Which bedside table to you keep your vibrator? Grin

MrsMoastyToasty · 10/10/2022 14:49

I hope you kept your toes under the covers to prevent monsters eating them.

TheHoover · 10/10/2022 14:49

YOU SWITCH SIDES???????

Blix · 10/10/2022 14:49

How can you not have sides? 😲
Sides count even on holiday.

I don’t have a vibrator (no issue with them, they just never felt nicer than the real thing!)

Also don’t have bedside drawers 😳

I still sleep on the same side of the bed when DH isn't even in it. Very bizarre behaviour OP

ZeroFuchsGiven · 10/10/2022 15:00

Your bed must be so uncomfortable with all that shifting about and not letting it settle to the shape of your body.

Mother87 · 10/10/2022 15:00

No sides?????ConfusedBlushShock

IamSmarticus · 10/10/2022 15:01

You need a designated side!! Mine is the one furthest from the door, for similar reason to yourself Grin

Bunce1 · 10/10/2022 15:02

No sides, Jesus Christ!

Angelinflipflops · 10/10/2022 15:04

And get rid of the tv?

Doggiedoodoos · 10/10/2022 15:09

I think anyone who broke in and found out you CHANGE SIDES would be more scared by you. That is psychopathic behaviour 😲

cushioncovers · 10/10/2022 15:10

Choose a side and stick with it. Get rid of tv in bedroom

AryaStarkWolf · 10/10/2022 15:12

I also got to the part of your story where you mentioned deciding which side to sleep on that night and froze and re read and reread, still isn't computing

SlouchingTowardsBethlehemAgain · 10/10/2022 15:14

No sides - Anarchists.

SleeplessInEngland · 10/10/2022 15:14

It's deeply perverse not to have set sides already. Properly, properly weird.
