Not for me. My partner has to stay on his side of the bed. I’ll build a fortress of pillows and blankets before I’ll allow that kind of encroachment. No going over the neutral zone.
I still prefer he’s at least in the bed though. Sucks when one of us is sick and sleeps in the guest bed.
My partner is like this too. Seperate sheets and blankets. She puts up with a bit of my cuddle-lust, but you can tell she doesn't like it. She has mentioned a pillow wall. But she finds sleeping seperately to be just devestating, and even during our worst arguments she wants me in the same bed.
Yeah, in all reality, I don’t mind a little bit of cuddling, but when it comes to actually sleeping, he gets banished to his side of the bed.
I already sweat when I get too hot while sleeping, which is funny because I am always cold. Extra body heat is guaranteed to make me sweat and I haven’t even hit the hot flash stage of perimenopause yet.
I hope you guys find the right balance to keep you both happy 💚
Again, that is all pretty much spot on our situation. We have elaborate heat-management rituals involving the cat, a fan, and multiple layers of blankets being tucked/shucked as needed. She is also not yet into the hot flashes.
I've long presumed this is one of those PCOS-is-ridiculously-understudied issues.
And yes, thank you! We're both often surprised at our ability to come to mutually supportive solutions - just like real grownups! 😂
