Now THAT would be a generous male with whom I could share a bed. My bf just steals the entire blanket and wraps it around him like a cocoon. I gave up and brought my own blanket to bed. LOL
It's actually quite funny because if he wakes up, he'll notice I don't have any blanket so he'll make an effort to put some on me. Then he falls asleep and 30 seconds later he has yanked the blanket away again. LOL I've had trouble stifling the laughter a few times for fear of waking him again. :)
My boyfriend would definitely object. Both aside I honestly wouldn't be able to afford the trip to Ottawa (still looking for work). Money aside, I likely wouldn't. I'm too loyal and too respectful of your wife's opinion in the matter. lol
We have the two-blankets-one-bed system in my house, too.
When we were sharing one blanket, I was constantly accused of 'hogging' it when all I ever did was tuck the very edge of it underneath me so that he couldn't yank the damn thing off of me. Hogging. HA.
I have been known to bring a spare duvet for *my* side of the bed. It doesn't help if (MY SHEETS! MINE!) are lifted up allowing the flow of cold air on my back. So I've been known to steal ALL of those, and use my duvet, and leave only the inferior comfortor for my lovely wife.
Yeah, I do the same thing! The only reason I don't try to obtain more is that I don't need it. It's a duvet so I'd get TOO warm otherwise (once the sun shines through the window in the morning, it starts becoming uncomfortably warm with a duvet).
We have speculated that the blanket fight wouldn't be as bad if we had a duvet for a double bed (the duvet was for the twin bed he used to have ages ago), but I don't really think it would make a difference.
LOL That's awesome. :) Thankfully our apt is usually rather warm for me (it's water heaters so we can't turn them down or anything) so I don't need the duvet as much. Should we live somewhere in the future that's not this nice, however, it will become an issue. Worst case scenerio, I go sleep on the futon with my wool blanket.
I'm lucky in that Carl will just curl up under the blanket between my feet and the foot of the bed. Unfortunately for him, I only discover this when I move from fetal position to stretching, encounter a warm furry blob with my foot and hear an annoyed "Brr!"
Two separate blankets, and -in the winter- one extra blanket on top of us both. This way no one's ever bare, even if the top blanket gets shuffled around quite a bit during the night.
(The cat sleeps under the top blanket, between us in our separate blankets. I guess you could say the top blanket is his and he's very generous with it.)
Sometime in our first year of marriage, Maus and I had The Blanket Talk.
See, I chill easily, and I need to stay warm, lest I trigger my RA and have to stay in bed for days/weeks. That sucks.
He gives off heat like a furnace, and overheats easily. His solution is to throw all the covers on the floor.
After one too many nights of waking up shivering, freezing my ass off, and pissed, I had had enough. I bought another comforter, and laid down the law. His comforter was his, mine was mine, and if he stole mine, he'd wake up dead.
There was much whining about "But we're married, we're supposed to share blankets!" and "That's not very romantic!"
I allowed as how it wasn't very romantic to wake up freezing at 4AM because your spouse has thrown the blankets across the room, and murderous thoughts weren't all that romantic, either.
He learned to cope. We both sleep better as a result.
My boyfriend is still coming to terms with 'We can have two sets of covers, or I can kick you until you GIVE ME COVERS every time I wake up and am cold'.
I don't get cold unless my covers get stolen. My boyfriend however, goes through a million temperature changes a night, tho I think most of those come from him uncovering himself, then getting cold, pulling ALL the covers on him, and then getting too warm. He's a furnace tho.
