In the early stages of our relationship, my partner and I would snuggle closely under the stars, blissfully unaware that a day would come when I would feel the urge to elbow him in the ribs for encroaching on my side of the bed. We were once youthful lovers, capable of sharing the smallest of spaces during travel with a playful wink. Fast forward to today, and even our expansive king-sized bed feels insufficient for a good night’s sleep.
Recently, my partner, Jake, was away on a business trip. The days were long and challenging as I managed our energetic children alone. However, the nights—oh, those glorious, solitary nights!—offered me a 40-square-foot mattress all to myself. I would set up my sound machine, settle into the neatly made bed, and construct a Kim-shaped cocoon with Jake’s pillows, enjoying uninterrupted sleep until morning.
But then, Jake returned. I was jolted awake by the bed’s bounce as he climbed in. Soon after, I felt his arm drape over my waist, followed by the unmistakable sound of his snoring. Honestly, I don’t know how I resisted the urge to retaliate. After a few nudges, I managed to redirect him, hoping to reclaim my tranquility.
Yet, it wasn’t long before I was jolted awake again, this time by an unexpected tug as he pulled me into his embrace for some late-night spooning. Trapped, I tried to suppress my annoyance—until his breathing became unbearable. The rhythmic in-and-out of air seemed excessive, and if I hadn’t lost all six pillows to his side of the bed, I might have considered using one to muffle the sounds.
Even the soothing hum of my sound machine couldn’t mask the frustration of being constantly disturbed. Yes, I should be grateful for a loving husband who wishes to be near me, but when it interferes with my sleep, that closeness crosses a line.
I’ve come to appreciate why some classic television couples opted for separate beds. That idea was pure genius! I propose we take it a step further: let’s sell our grand bed and invest in three twin beds instead. I would set mine up with a plush mattress pad, light bedding, and easy access to my sound machine. Jake could have his firm mattress, cozy flannel sheets, and heavy comforter. And a third bed could be positioned in between for those intimate moments.
This solution would allow us to share a room while preserving my sanity and Jake’s comfort. I wouldn’t have to navigate the nighttime chaos of snoring and inadvertent grabs, and he wouldn’t have to wonder how to avoid waking me with his late-night antics.
I genuinely believe this three-bed approach could enhance our marriage and potentially become a widespread trend. Imagine wedding registries featuring the “Twin Bed Trifecta” or new collections of Pillow Pets designed for couples. It could lead to a significant decrease in divorce rates, all because I couldn’t tolerate one more of Jake’s nocturnal disturbances.
So, as we embark on this new sleeping arrangement, I envision a future where marriages flourish and the Three Bed Solution becomes a celebrated norm. You’ll find Jake nestled in his unmade bed by the window, just two headboards away from me.
