GTKY: Sleeping with SO

[momentomori]

We sometimes cuddle, but when it's lights out we sleep butt to butt.

nikolie93 - LOL, the "big poke". I always tease MH about that. I'm like "you can deny you want me all you want, but this here says otherwise" (he's a big tease and likes to pretend that he's only with me because I want it )


I'm an SS. MH and I don't usually sleep together because he works graveyard and I work days. But on the few occasions that we do sleep together - usually when we nap - we spoon for a little bit and then move away. H likes to put his arm underneath my head, but I NEED to have MY arm under my head to fall asleep. He just has never gotten this, and I get really fussy if he doesn't move away quickly enough. I usually end up elbowing him in the ribs to move away. Plus, he gets super sweaty because he's half yeti and I have to have 2 blankets pretty much 9 months out of the year.

mflowers929 I have to admit that Poke has pissed me off on more than one occasion! Sometimes I wake up wanting it, then he just rolls over after the poke and starts snoring

We start off cuddling but eventually H moves/rolls over. He says he has to have something touching me at all times, and he doesn't sleep well when we're apart bc of this.

DH likes to spoon but he falls asleep in about 30 seconds and starts snoring in my ear, so I have to wake him up to roll him over and it drives him crazy. So now we just face each other and chat, then say our goodnights and I love yous and turn away to fall asleep!

I am sorry that he doesn't sleep well when you're apart but I got all the feels with this

DH is a huge cuddler, he'd be in my space all night. I like cuddling initially but then need some personal space to actually get some sleep!

[scrang92]

We cuddle at first, but I run super hot, so we go to our own sides about 15 min in!

[mrsmccoy612]

DH and I can rarely get to sleep when we're cuddling. We both get too hot and have to separate. Lol

[yummybunny]

I'm not a cuddled. H is. We compromise but I always want to stop before him! But he's a furnace and I get too hot and uncomfortable. Also our one dog likes to come up on the bed and she sprawls out so we cuddle in this small but that's left. Then I kick her off the bed and sprawl out and sleep in weird positions taking up most of the bed.

[littleducky]

I can't go to sleep touching very much, but I will put my leg out to touch his. I occasionally like to spoon but I always need to be the big spoon/the back spoon so that I can roll away when I want to.

[rachaeleigh]

I like to think that I would love to cuddle with DH, but I actually hate cuddling! I almost get claustrophobic...I guess I need my own space.
It's almost like I get anxious from the expectation that I'll be still while cuddling, and then I can't stay still.
Weird

[snoris]

I'm coming clean! I'm the lone all-night spooner. I can't believe there's no one else! Really? We even flip throughout the night together. I can not sleep without h! I think all that sleeping in dorm beds forced us to get used to it. Annnnd I'm very familiar with the poke mflowers929 nikolie93

we are definitely cuddlers. Mostly because I'm an octopus and he can't escape my reach. he is a little heater, so in the winter I'm all about the snuggles and in the summer I usually stick to my own side of the bed because sweat is gross.

I giggled at octopus and him not being able to escape your reach!

H and I both hate to cuddle. Neither of us can fall asleep if we are touching which is a problem because both of us like to spread out when we sleep and our bed isn't huge. We have actually been debating about getting a really big bed or buying two larger beds and pushing them together to give us both the space we desire.

If you get two beds, I hear a topper helps with the divot in the center.

Our basset hound INSISTS on sleeping between us with me spooning him. We tried to get him to sleep elsewhere but he's so damn stubborn. So I cuddle...just not with MH.
(Sounds so scandalous!)

((Hugs)) rmpar29 and sweetcali. It must be so hard but glad to hear you've figured out the best ways to get your YHs through it.

I'm a furnace so DH refuses to sleep anywhere near me.

[juliern]

We will start out cuddling, but DH says that I get too hot for him, so he usually rolls back over to his side of the bed. Every now and then, or dog will end up in between us too.

Dh and I work opposite schedules so I get the whole bed to myself... (and the dogs).

I'm a bit jealous. I really like my space.  Poor H, he likes to cuddle.

I am the cuddler just not when I am sleeping.
