My fiance always hogs the bed and steals covers ... pins in middle of bed too drastic?

Question

I really want him to stop. I can't get any sleep ... would it be really mean of me to stick pins right side up through the mattress cover down the middle of the bed in order to train him not to come on my side of the bed ... and to get one of those big staple guns and staple the comforter how it should stay all night?

I think it would take about a week to train him properly!

Anyone have any better solutions?

I'm at my wits end here ... and please don't suggest a bigger bed or separate beds; ain't happening.

Answer 1

omigod, don't do that! wake his *** up and tell him how you are feeling, and threaten to end the relationship. That should help. If he doesn't respond positively, kick his *** to the curb. This is not a big problem, but how he tries to solve it indicates the general direction of the relationship. Good luck!

Answer 2

My fiance and I do that to each other ALL the time!

one night, I've got all the covers

next night, he's got all the covers

after that, the dog has all the covers

Sorry but I'm gonna suggest a bigger bed.

Or, push him till he gets back on his side of the bed. Get another set of covers so you both have your own (we've had to do that before).

What size bed do you have?

Answer 3

My husband and I are admitted cover hogs. We have seperate covers. Top sheet and blanket for each of us. When the weather is cold we do share the heavy top blankets, but maintain our seperate lighter blankets. We also have an electric heating blanket under the fitted sheet.

Roaming body parts...legs...arms...whole bodies...and you don't want to cuddle? Me neither. I'm not a cuddler. Never have been. Put a body pillow down the middle of the bed. If all else fails...kick.

Answer 4

My spouse hog's the covers, I infrequently watch television, I sleep on the sting of the mattress and My spouse surprisingly much constantly has the distant. I do hog the fat loose, sugar loose Ice Cream till she provides a greater useful dessert.

Answer 5

simple solution. two sets of covers. keep one folded and on your side of the bed and when he hogs the covers, grab the spare and you wrap yourself in it. his hogging the bed? roll him over. if he hollers, tough, let him holler. if he grumbles, oh well. after you've done this for a while, he'll grow tired of being awakened in the middle of the night and made to roll over. he will then just do it all on his own.

yes people can teach themselves Not to do something in their sleep when they know it will cause them a non-restful sleep. so, don't let him give you the barrage of "i don't know what i'm doing when i am sleeping." hogwash. retraining can be done if the offender (that's him) wants to. and if they don't want to then they are being extremely selfish. and selfish is something i personally willl no longer tolerate in someone.

i guess you could call this bedroom political correctness. good luck in you bed m'dear. straighten him out now or be doomed to repeat it in the marriage.

Answer 6

My husband and I have always had seperate blankets.. Im a blanket hog.. Theres no real way to keep him on his side though. Wake him up everytime he wanders onto your side, eventually if he wants sleep hell stay put. My husband works midnights now so that solved our problem..

Answer 7

Why not just get a separate set of covers for yourself? I can't even imagine sharing my blankets; I always have to ask for extras when staying in hotels, so I can have my own.

Answer 8

I've been married to one of those for 14 years....it never stops! Get 2 sets of covers...it helps, but the wandering to your side...it never stops, sorry. Also mine has worked mid nights on and off...what a godsend...encourage him to work midnights!!!

Answer 9

I elbow my fiance right in the ribs when he intrudes on my half. He moves and doesn't ever remember it the next day.

Answer 10

everytime he pulls the covers, slap him upside the head. he'll loose lots of sleep and realize how you feel.
