FH and I met the first day of my freshman year of college, and we spent just about that entire semester sharing a bed. I don't remember having any problems with it, like at all.

FH and I met the first day of my freshman year of college, and we spent just about that entire semester sharing a bed. I don't remember having any problems with it, like at all. Anyway, he switched to online school and moved back home, and I moved back home after I graduated, and it's been a while since we've shared a bed.

FH is moved into what will be our new apartment, and I get to move in after the wedding (Sept 29). Last night, we had the rare opportunity for me to stay the night (mom is conservative and doesn't like me to spend the night, but she was out of town). I hated it.

First, he kept stealing the covers. There were basically three times throughout the night where we were playing tug of war with the covers. I don't even think he realized he was doing it. He was still 100% asleep as he was grabbing all of the covers and leaving me bare.

He also got up a few times during the night. When he went to use the restroom, he turned on the bathroom light, which startled me and woke me up and it was hard for me to go back to sleep.

Last, he kept saying stupid things in his sleep like right in my ear. I remember early this morning he said "Fix your nose." I thought, what???, and ignored him. Then he said it again. So I said, "What are you talking about?" and he said "You're whistling through your nose." My nose doesn't whistle?! I was just breathing.

I feel like one of the main issues is we need a bigger bed. It's hard to share a queen bed with someone when you're used to sleeping in a queen by yourself.

Anyone else have issues sharing a bed with your spouse? Last night made me never want to sleep with him again, but I want to sleep with my husband when we're married. How can I fix this!

    Bahahaha I am sorry I know it's frustrating this just brings back so many memories! lol

    1. Yes same girl.

    2. Get a bigger bed like asap. Its a great "First Big Purchase Together" if nothing else

    3. Get separate blankets. FH and I have a king bed and two separate queen blanket sets. We picked out our own because we have completely different preferences in blackest. We do have a few nice king sets if we ever want to actually make the bed but that rarely happens lol

    4. It will not always be that bad. Your sleeping style constantly develops and changes. When FH and I first started staying together he always wrapped completely around me like full body lock cuddle and I hated it! Like I almost stopped staying with him. Over time it got better.

    5. Talk to FH about the light thing. That would really irk me. open up a nice (IE don't yell) convo about it. If he has any decency he will cut that out.

    6. Try being really tired when you go to bed. Like physically tired. Go for a run. do some crunches or push ups.

    Good Luck!

    FH and I are both horrible blanket stealers. We have a twin (he used to hate it, but as we've lived together for quite some time he's used to the size of it now) and have a king sized comforter we are capable of sharing. If we don't have the king comforter on the bed, we each have our own blankets to use instead. A long time ago I thought that was weird but we both got used to it fairly quickly, since it's wayyyy easier than blanket-tug-of-war all night long

    As for the rest, well I can't say I know how to help. We've been living together for a few years so I don't really even remember those kinds of issues for us, we adjusted and adapted to each others' sleep a long time ago. One of my best friends however, has her spare bedroom set up so that if either her or her husband can't sleep because of the other, they can go sleep in that room, and though they were weird about it at first they're both comfortable and happy with that arrangement now

    1) California King

    2) Sleeping Mask

    3) Your own covers

    4) Pillow mist

    5) Candle

    I'm a morning bird and FH is a night owl, he loves it frigid and I need to be warm when I sleep, he needs the TV on and I need total darkness. Basically, opposites in every way and I will absolutely make sure my office has a day bed for those moments when I need uninterrupted sleep. But if you intend to stay over more often make the space work for your needs. Once you set up a ritual you're comfortable with it'll be easier to fall asleep
