Even though marrying the love of your life seems like a romantic dream, marriage is not all roses and rainbows. It requires a lot of patience, understanding, and sometimes a few compromises to make the relationship work. Like who will cook after a tiring day? Or who will put the crying baby to sleep? Or who will take out the trash every morning?
Speaking of which, twitter user @TheCatWhisprer recently shared a tweet pointing out the difference between dating and marriage. However, what really caught the attention of people was when he mentioned about the woes of sharing a bed after marriage.
DATING: can’t wait to see you again
MARRIAGE: part of your knee was on my side of the bed again last night

He pointed out how he and his wife debriefed each other about things they did while asleep. Like one of them found the other’s hair on their pillow. Absolutely, not acceptable!
“I found one of your hairs on my pillow. Have you been using my pillow? Don’t ever, ever do that again.”

The man’s tweet had a domino effect with several couples revealing the woes of sharing a bed with their partners. From snoring to not getting space on the bed to smelly farts, people complained about nasty things their better halves did while asleep.

The snoring, what about the snoring. My wife snores so loudly we have slept in the same bed for over two years!!! When I met her she didn't make a sound at night, these days the walls shake and the windows rattle!!!

I have Restless Leg Syndrome. My husband says it's like sleeping with the cast of Riverdance. I once kicked him so hard in the middle of the night he leapt out of bed and started crying!

My side of the bed is a 10 inch wide precarious ledge. After 16 years of marriage, I can now sleep on the side of cliff like mountain climbers do.

My wife got a body pillow when she was pregnant, and it’s been The Berlin Wall of our bed for the decade since.

DATING: Honey, let’s hold each other as we fall asleep!
MARRIED: (Reaching over to put my arm around my wife’s waist) “Stop touching me! Why are you always touching me!”

Honeymoon phase: cuddle under the covers together
Now: we each have our own king size blanket and we use the excess to form a barrier wall in the middle of the bed— Annabelle Damian (@DamianAnnabelle) August 22, 2020

Married 36 years.
"Night" as we each go to our own rooms.

You did something in my dream that made me mad
I'm not speaking to you today— Mike Silver (@tutorindie) August 22, 2020

Wife, wakes me up- "Can turn the other way or lay on your face. You're breathing hot air on me."
Me- Love, you too.

Dating: falling asleep in each other's arms

I have insomnia and he talks in his sleep. So when he’s talking to me I text him what he says! 😂😂 so he wakes up in the morning and is like “wtf was I dreaming about?”😂

My husband was on my side of the bed, but he insisted he wasn’t. I broke out the goddamn tape measure….
He was on my side. 😂

I don’t understand why the AC only aims for my back. I don’t dare turn it off because apparently I don’t understand hot flashes. So I sleep in a “duck-and-cover” type position. Then winter comes and repeat cycle with the heater.

This is one of the funniest things I've read for a while, but that may be due to extreme tiredness because I decamped to the sofa at 3.30am due to a mixture of some of the above.

A few others said that they enjoyed sharing the bed & blanket with their better halves.
I'm nearly 15 years into my relationship. Are we the only ones who still like to cuddle when we go to bed? 🤔 #cuddlesforlife
— Maggie Kitty (@nerdibabe) August 22, 2020
All the people saying that this is “loveless” … I love my husband more than I did when we were dating (yes that happens) but I get super hot when I sleep so I need space. Once I’m up I’m up, so if I get too hot at 3am because he’s on my side, breathing on me, no me gusta.

Wow reading the replies of this and like y’all just seem to not like your partners? I have been married 12 years and cannot get enough of my wife. Long may that continue. ❤️

Well, honestly I hate sharing the bed with my sister. How about you? Do you enjoy sharing the bed with your spouse or siblings? Tell us!
