Lighthearted

I hate cuddling up to my husband in bed, I just want to turn over not facing him and sleep. I don’t want to be touched whilst I’m sleeping. I can’t even stand his knee or toe touching me.

I’m affectionate all the time but when I’m trying to sleep I hate it.

Anyone else like this?

Friends think I’m funny for not liking being cuddled to sleep. 🤣

Cuddling is for earlier, I turn away to sleep

Hate hate hate it. I dated someone a few years ok who would want to cuddle, but also twitch and jerk involuntarily when asleep. It was hell. One time I just got up at 3am and went home, he wasn't impressed.

I will always have my own bed/bedroom in any future relationships. If that's a deal breaker for future partners, then so be it. Sleep is too precious to me.

Don't breathe near me, never mind touch me.

This is also me with my DH. Please don’t breathe on me when I’m sleeping! Makes me cringe

I agree! I can't stand having an arm around me, I feel like I'm trapped! The same with the other person's elbows pointing towards me!

I get annoyed if my DH even puts a foot over my side of the bed so cuddling is definitely out.

I'm at my wits end. My husband wants to proper cuddle in when we go to bed. I just want to hit the pillow and sleep. But when I don't cuddle him he gives me the guilt trip of not showing him love 😟😟 my way of showing love is making sure clothes are clean and ironed his lunch for work is made everyday etc. But when I try say that to him I just get well I don't ask you to do that. Don't do it wouldn't bother me. Sorry for the rant feel better talking to strangers lol x
