How do you go to sleep with your partner?

[unwashed potato!]

I must say the 2 single duvets on a double bed freaked me out when I first moved here but now it's alien to me to have 1 double.
I suggest trying it to duvet hoggers or victims.

You share a double bed with another adult? It's definitely a double?

Her dad said she was an adult when I got her shipped from Thailand.
If that's what you mean....

we tried a super king for a week before sending it back.

2 doubles, pushed right up against each other, so it just looks like one massive bed.

Isn't a Super King basically two beds together?

Or is it the fact you have two separate duvets that appeals?

A super king is the size of 2 singles pushed together. When I was a kid I had a single, then a teenager a double. To me it made no sense why just because I'm sharing that I now only need the size of bed I had as a kid. But more importantly, 2 beds together sets boundaries. My partner can't roll in the night and steal 80 percent of the space

I actually sleep in a seperate room to my Wife i;m 42 and been together 23 years (not seperated.)
My son has cerebral palsy and he sleeps in the bed with my wife, he's 7 but the size of a 3 year old so he sleeps in the double bed with my wife, too old for a cot and too small for his own bed really.
so OT advised this arrangement. He has a special sleeping system that he has to use that fits the bed and it basically cocoons him, bit like memory foam and big thick blocks so he can't flail around.

Anyway, means i have been relegated to the spare bedroom for the past few years, least i'm away from the snoring... makes it hard to get any loving though.
Especially as well have 2 other kids in the house.
On the plus side, I can play games and come to bed late without disturbing her.

I actually like sleeping alone. it's cooler in the summer and so peaceful at times. just that one major drawback.

I shared a single bed with my wife (then my girlfriend) for years... was horrible, but we did it lol.
We were slimmer then though.

Kinda surprised how common this seems to be here.

Super king size bed and it's effectively like I sleep alone anyway cos we have plenty of space. Not sure I would want separate rooms. Seems a bit odd to me but then I'm in the minority it seems!

I think it;s more common nowadays, far more common than I thought tbh

Wife goes to bed hours before me so I creep up and slip into the 25% of bed left on my side with no duvet on, then probably average about 6 hours a night whilst she snores and gets up at the crack of dawn waking me up. She probably averages 9 hours a day sleep but will often nap to "catch up".
