While he was here, I got a glimpse into what life will be like sharing a bed with someone else. The Boyfriend and I have have shared a bed before, and it's always been an adjustment for us. We are both only children who are not used to sleeping in such close quarters. For me, sharing a bed on this visit was particularly difficult. I have become more aware than ever of that imaginary line in the middle of the bed that shall not be crossed. The left side of that line belongs to me. I own that piece of real estate, and I'm the only one that's supposed to be living there. Now, The Boyfriend is certainly welcome to come visit during cuddle time or other moments of physical intimacy. Outside of that, the property laws clearly state that he is to stay on his side of the bed or be subject to certain penalties that may include but are not limited to an elbow to the back of the head.
Another thing that I noticed on The Boyfriend's visit is his uncanny ability to steal exactly 1.276 inches of cover from me every time he turns over. By the middle of the night, I am coverless and shivering. I finally resorted to grabbing hold of the comforter whenever The Boyfriend changed positions just so I could hang on to my meager share of bedding.
All that being said, as I am sitting here listening to the quietness of this house, I am finding myself missing him. I would gladly put up with The Boyfriend's bed hogging, sheet-stealing ways if it meant I could be with him all the time.

But it ain't over yet. Kansas managed to slither their way into The Final Four, and if they end up winning it all, I'm screwed. So to speak.

*WHUNK* is the sound of an elbow to the back of the head! Or so I'm told. :D
[singsong]I know what the winner getsss[/singsong]
Yay for you for winning so far!!!
Do you have a king sized bed? or a queen? or a double?
GET A KING SIZED BED!!!! It really saved our marriage, after the snuggle, we were ON OUR OWN!! You know, you've got to have your own space! And it will help in the next 10 years, when yall have kids!!! ;)

T, I have a queen size bed. We desperately need a king. My bedroom is big enough to handle it; his, on the other hand, is not.
Do you mean the left side as you are in the bed or looking at it? I have the right side..when you're in it! You get so used to it after 27 years and 4 years of going out before. It's nice when he goes fishing and I can sprawl but I'd much rather have him here/
And we only have a double! My grany gave us a double 4 poster Cannonball pine bed and it just seems too sacred to change.
When we hotel it and get a queen size, we can hardly believe it and if we get a King size it's really freaky!
MOI, the left side as you are looking at it.
A double?!? Oh, boy. I suspect The Boyfriend and I would have broken up by now if only one of us had a double bed.
When I make the bed I hang more sheet and blanket over on my side which makes things even when hubby starts jerking the sheets.
We started out in a double, but his feet hung off the edge of the bed, I'm so short it doesn't matter. He also stole my side of the bed, right side.
Have a King sized bed now which fits one man, one woman, 2 dogs and 6 cats quite comfortably.
Rodger and I have been married four years. I can get over the bed and sheet hogging. But the snoring. Dear God.
If he doesn't snore. Keep him! :)
Get you a set of large Lego blocks and build a wall down the middle of the bed with a sign saying, "Trespassers Will Be Violated."
What you said about gladly putting up with the "bed hogging, sheet-stealing ways" if it meant you could be with him all the time? Yeah, I know what you mean. Damn it, damn it, damn it...
Aw, before long you'll wake up and he will be drooling put of the right side of his mouth directly into your left ear and you will hardly even notice!
Hope I didn't ruin it for ya....
you should implement the steamroller! remember that?
