My humble apology, sir.

I have changed it. Alas an older photo, a shorter beard. But warmer.

I actually have to fall asleep with my arm(s) latched around something, or have someone up against me. Otherwise I have trouble sleeping, and it can sometimes take me up to an hour to actually fall asleep. Also, I need to sleep somewhere where it's fairly cold, that'd probably work to my advantage.


I never really gave this aspect of a relationship much thought before. But that poll effectively wipes out 80% of people who i'd otherwise consider having a relationship with..

I like it. xD

99% of the time I need my space. 1% of the time I cuddle. My husband is very happy that 1% of the time. If it were up to him we would cuddle 100% of the time.

If he's like most guys I know, he'd want to do something else 100% of the time. Or is that just me?

We do the exact same thing!

I VOTED: It depends/other.

Usually after sex, I enjoy spooning and having some nice 'pillow' talk. However, when I feel myself getting sleepy, I'll move over....that's when I usually want my own space.

Our king size bed is wasted on us as we both skirt the edge of the bed. We really need our space.

I have no real personal space needs. I was raised in a modestly sized home in a family of six, and we're all pretty much like a pile of puppies. BF and I are spooners, although I think it had to be a learned thing for him.

We flip-flop through the night; I toss a lot in my sleep. We start off cuddling, with my head on his chest. Then I roll over and we spoon. Then I'll roll over again and my head is against his chest and my legs end up over his. Then somehow when we wake up I'm on the opposite side of the bed

Default Ugg

I sleep with my gf probably most of the time when we're in the same town, which isn't that often (it being long-distance and whatnot), but neither of us like it actually. We both prefer sleeping alone. I just think it's extremely annoying sleeping with someone else even in the same room frankly, I'm used to having my space. She's pretty quiet and doesn't create much disturbance, though, nor do I, so it works out alright just not as good as being alone. I never get the same quality sleep with anyone else in the room, let alone her in the same bed. It has its benefits I mean before I sleep, and it's nice and all that, but as soon as I'm ready to sleep I prefer having my privacy.

In the future, I'd have a penthouse with a guest bedroom, and that's where the girl would sleep.
