Just curious as to how many people out there this tends to happen to...

Usually its quilt nicking but there doesnt seem to be a problem with that one thank goodness :)

I always seem to end up right on the edge of the bed... Not being able to turn either way... due to one side of me being a body... an the other... well... 'the floor' :o hmmm! almost ended up there on a numerous ocassions... :rant: lol

All that space the other side of him going to waste... an all he wants to do is try an steal mine :suspect:

What is the answer... how do you cope? :help: or could it be a case of shut up & put up :roll: lol

give him a really good 'nudge' or get out of bed and get in the empty side. bewarned though if you nudge your hardest first and it doesn't work, it may cause movement and leave no room on the other side either.

i suggest if there is ample room on the other side, go occupy it!

if all else fails, make him sleep on the sofa.

he probably moves up to you in the night for body heat,start off in the middle and face him then he cant roll over to find you............failing that eat loads of boiled cabbage and you will end up with most of the bed.....

Im basicly hot in bed (no not that way I get hot) so my GF tends to cuddle in which makes me hotter, so I move away to cool down and end up with no bed. Therefore always jumping outa bed and getting in the otherside.:thumbsup:

Having been manouvered out of bed once I can honestly say a fall of two feet when you're almost asleep HURTS!!! I used a pillow putting it down the side of the bed so I could only move so far.
Far morre annoying was one particular lady friend who would flail her arms around whilst fast asleep, waking up with a sudden blow to the face causing a nose bleed isn't much fun either.

Heh, an ex of mine once woke up after a bad dream and literally through me out the bed and onto a cupboard. Not THAT hurt!

So now I sleep on the edge and a fall is a minor in comparison :)

If she did that she'd run into the wall. Hehehehe! Much laughter. :lol: Shame I'd be asleep so would miss the comedy action. :twisted:

My brother in law used to complain my sister used to do this to him too Angel. Having a kingsized bed made no difference.

Having a couple of children seems to have done though - these days he's so grateful to get any sleep he doesn't mind where on the bed he ends up :P

I've had the same problem. It seems to be indicative of a subconscious desire to escape during the night, but always being persued until I reach the edge.

i agree with the method of getting out and getting back in the other side.

not so easy to share a bed with a loud snorer though!

Give him a "special cuddle" with that "special" feeling and you soon be back in the middle again!!!!

I'm a source of heat for Mrs P. and the cats - however, I almost always end up on the edge of the bed.

Just stick your feet out of bed for a few minutes and then apply the cold feet to the small of the back of the person you're sharing with....:)

This will result in rapid vacation of prt of the bed which you can then shuffle in to.

I've occasionally fallen out of bed - I always end up doing some weird gymnastics to avoid the indignity of hitting the floor.

sounds like what my ex used to say to me Angel :? whenever I'm in a big bed (I'm used to a single, cus my room full of other stuff and I only need a single bed) I always like to lay in the middle and sprawl out all my arms and legs... its not my fault, it's just what I'm used to... thankfully I got used to huddling in my side of the bed :)

I love the cold normally but when I'm in bed I like to be cosy, its really irritating when you want to cuddle and sleep and your g/f really doesnt :( and she always used to give me the side next to the radiator, so when she steals the covers and its the morning and the heating comes on its burnt bum time! OUCH!

personally I think cover stealing is the most annoying thing! I can make up a double bed with my bed (another matress and frame comes out from under my single bed) so when she was over I'd throw two double quilts on... and she'd still steal mine... how can one person need two quilts!?! grr!

My ex is uncomfortably cold at anything less than 25 degrees, and I'm uncomfortably hot at anything over 18. So she'd quite often get the duvet all to herself. It's no fun trying to snuggle up to something that's wrapped in a 13 tog though! :(

No, but the pins might.

Maybe keep a glass with ice in by the bed, that'll move him! :) Not quite as cruel as the pins.

Thats illegal Jackson - I hope you have a licence for your exotic pet!

My secret is this: become impossible to live with by being arrogant and self-opinionated. She will soon leave you and 'hey presto' you have the whole bed to yourself again.

Either that or convince your partner that another war has broken out, this time, with Wales by filming your own news bulitins and putting them in the video at six oclock, shouting 'hey darling come and look at this!!'. (disguise yourself with a fake beard in the video - or if you have a beard, a fake shave) make your partner sleep in the anderson shelter which you can build out of tin foil and a childs play tunnel. For added effect get a close friend to set off a few loud fireworks from a nearby garden - giving the impression of an air-raid.
On forged letter headed paper write a letter to yourself stating that you have been drafted into the homeguard and have to man search lights, every night, to look for incoming Taffwhaffe Planes. And 'Hey Presto' you have the whole bed to yourself again.
N.B Remember dont oversleep - but if you do say that you were wounded by shrapnel and came home to wait for it to come out.
You might have to pretend to live on rations for the more complete effect!

You could just tell him to move over:|

Well ... they do say accupuncture is a good way to solve sleep problems ...

Oh ... hi Pauly ;)

I would've thought acupuncture would solve problems such as lack of sleep and not change the position you sleep in.

Since you have your bed to yourself though I guess you wouldn't know. ;)

Sure ... in real practicable terms acupunture would work that way I'm sure of it Pauly. However !!! ... my post suggesting that Angel stick pins in the offending sleeper ... was not entirely (or at all) serious ...

and YES ... I do have the pleasue of having the full bed to myself ... aaaaahhhh the sheer bliss of being single alone unloved old and decrepid with no grasp whatsoever of the art of 'chatting up lovely ladies whom i find attractive' ... seems all I have to look forward to is a life of lonelyness and solitude and finally being a nice meal for the worms ...

At 6' 2 and knocking on 15 stone I'm continually amazed at how my petite missus manages to relegate me to the edge of the bed on a regular basis.
How can someone so small take up the majority of a double bed?? The bit I live for is the petulant muttering when I ask her to shift up ....... heehee.

I have my bed against the wall so instead of getting pushed out I end up getting squished!!!!!!! Think I might have to think about rearranging my room.... though I can't figure out which is the worst, floor or wall???:help: :help: :help:

The problem is the same in our house.My girlfriend says the reason is " because i cuddle up to you and be warm & lovin but you men wont have none of it and try to avoid this situation"..That is her exuse...me personally..i just think she uses that as an exuse to do a "starfish" impression.(haha)..But when all said and done,I still love her for it.
