One of the many joys of living with the man who promised to love you forever is sharing a bed with him every night the Army lets him come home. When we started dating, I spent pretty much every night until the end of that semester at Mac’s apartment, so we quickly discovered each other’s sleeping styles. In general, we try to respect the “yours” and “mine” sides of the bed. Covers are a whole other ball of wax.

Mac: the Virginia creeper
I named Mac’s style in honor of his being from Virginia and all. He slowly creeps across the bed: he starts on his side of the bed, then an arm comes slinging across. Wham, bam, he’s full on snuggles whilst I’m blogging and Pinteresting. I tend to stay along the edge of the bed, so his sly tactics place us both on my 40% of the bed. Mac also enjoys sleeping diagonally across our queen side bed, with his head on his pillow and his feet ensuring that I can’t stretch out my legs.

Me: the Genghis Khan
Complete and total conquest. Every time I tell Mac that he encroaches on my space, he reminds me of my own bed stealing technique. When Mac gets up during the night or to get ready for work, I tend to reach out to stop him (really, I sleepily throw an arm in his direction, roll over, and fall back asleep). This results in me now occupying the majority of the bed. If Mac is getting back in bed, he has the unfortunate task of moving me. I don’t wake up easily.
How do you and your spouse sleep? Who steals the bed? Who wants to see more of my MS Paint creations?
Pillow stealing is our issue! When we started dating we had 2 pillows… now we have 5. Because if I don’t have backups S will steal every damn pillow, chuck a couple on the floor and I will wake up pillowless. #firstworldproblems
We have always slept with separate blankets. We each have our own comforter! There is a little snuggling before sleep, but as soon as its bed time- we normally both roll over and leave each other alone for the rest of the night (unless he gets super twitchy and shakes the whole bed…in which case, I’ll kick him a few times until he stops).
Hahahaha you made me laugh! Chris tends to try to snuggle…and I’m not a snuggler when I’m trying to sleep. Let me sleep in peace! š
hahaha this is too funny! Kyle is a stomach sleeper so thankfully he doesn’t invade my sleep space.
Hahaha, nice pictures. I have the same problem when I stay over at Andrew’s.
This is an AWESOME post!! My boyfriend tends to stay on his side of the bed… but he comes to bed after me, so I tend to creep onto his side before he gets there. I also share my side with our kitty, so I deserve more than 50%!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and following – happy to be following you now too!

Adore your paint stick men! I am a really bad duvet swiper – my poor husband is now completely resigned to it.
Happy Easter.

This was HYSTERICAL! OMG so funny!!!
This is absolutely hilarious!! My husband is a total bed-hog! haha
hahah, love this! too funny. in a strange place i am all over the place in the bed. my love usually stays on one side. he is a deep sleeper.
hahaha!! š So funny, but true! In a way though you,re lucky that your man doesn’t mind all the cuddling… my man has a no crossing zone because he can’t sleep otherwise. We had to invest in a king size bed to make all my moving would not disturb him.
HAHAHA! I’m totally like your husband! And as soon as hubs leaves for PT, I completely take over his side..
Your drawings are adorable!! š
