In the early days of my relationship with Jake, we would snuggle up together, cherishing each moment of closeness under the stars. I never imagined a day would come when I’d feel like giving him a solid jab for daring to encroach on my side of the bed. We used to be young and in love, sharing even the smallest beds with playful winks. Now, our spacious king-sized bed feels like it’s bursting at the seams.
Recently, Jake was away on a business trip. Sure, the days were long, filled with the chaos of juggling our wild kids alone, but oh, those nights! I cherished the joys of a quiet room and a mattress all to myself. I’d turn on my soothing sound machine, slide under the covers, and create a cozy nook with his pillows to drift off into blissful sleep. Night after night of uninterrupted rest—it was heavenly!
But then, he returned. I awoke as the bed shifted beneath him, followed by the familiar arm draping over my waist. And soon enough, the snoring began. I can’t believe I resisted the urge to punch him at that moment. A gentle nudge later, he rolled away, and I managed to doze off again—only to be jolted awake by his midnight urge to spoon.
Oh, the breathing! The rhythmic in and out, as if he was competing for the title of “Most Noisy Breather.” If only he hadn’t commandeered all six pillows, I might have silenced him with one. No amount of sound machine magic could drown out the annoyance of being constantly roused.
I know I should appreciate having a loving husband who wants to be close to me, but is it too much to ask for a little personal space? I love you, babe, but seriously, GET OFF ME—I’M TRYING TO SLEEP!
This experience has led me to understand why some iconic TV couples had separate beds—pure genius! In fact, I’m considering suggesting we sell our beautiful king-sized bed and invest in three twin beds instead. Mine would have a plush mattress, light bedding, and the sound machine at the ready. Jake can have his firm mattress with flannel sheets, and the third bed can serve as a designated space for intimate moments, leaving us both happy and well-rested.
By adopting the Three Bed Solution, we can share a room without sacrificing our sanity. I’m convinced this idea could spark a global trend, leading to wedding registries featuring a “Twin Bed Trifecta” and even special anniversary Pillow Pets collections. Imagine a world where divorce rates drop because couples finally get a good night’s sleep—thanks to my brilliant plan!
So, when one day marriages flourish longer and the Three Bed Solution becomes a household term, remember to thank Jake. He’ll be the one snoozing peacefully in the unmade bed by the window, two headboards away from me.
