Terri, is there some way you could just switch sleeping places, and not TVs? You sleep upstairs, and he downstairs with the beloved boob tube? Does your knee condition still prevent you going upstairs?

It's all very complicated! Upstairs is a double mattress on the floor, downstairs is a single orthopaedic proper bed, plus a sofabed which with a lot of pratting about, makes a highly uncomfortable double bed

Does the large pain often loaf about? He might be afraid that if he did he'd be toast...

Do the nuns have a telly? If not, would they like one?

No shit.

I will concede that I SORT OF understand the idea behind being uncomfortable sleeping right next to someone else. But it wouldn't likely be someone I'd been dating for over a freaking YEAR, for gawd's sake. Sure, you can be scary when you're pissed off, but I think he would have figured out by now that if you meant him GBH, you could well have dished some up by now.

I'd like to tell His Royal Silliness to quit being a total git and get a grip.

Must say that I love the idea of you standing on the front step and shouting "SEE HOW FUCKING ZEN I AM?????" at the top of your lungs. Preferably while wearing a lovely tie-dye strait-jacket. ;)

LOL!!! Yes, that would be fun!

In fairness:

a) I have in fact physically attacked him on a small scale out of sheer frustration, which i am not proud of. All due respect to him, he has never responded back physically, merely screamed & whimpered.

b) I am not the easiest person on earth to sleep with 'cos of the stupid leg stuff, i have to have a cushion under my knee & can get excrutiating leg cramps at any time which mean i have to get straight out of bed & walk around.

Yeah, I was aware of both situations. I have to be honest with you, my wooh- in spite of any hard feelings I've had toward him, I was very disappointed that you did attack him physically, no matter how small scale. It does nothing to further the cause of teaching him trust and respect. It just reinforces the "crazy Anglaise" reputation. ;)

On the other hand, you know it was wrong and you regret that it happened, so it's not like either of you is being deliberately mean.

I'm sure, in time, when you both can find non-aggressive (and non passive-aggressive!) ways of getting what you need from each other, he'll be so comfortable with you he won't be able to sleep properly when you're not right beside him. :)

Took me quite a while to get used to sleeping with K when we started doing the sleepover thing. Mostly because I have had a bed all to myself my whole life (even while I was married to my ex, we worked opposing shifts). And partly because he snores.
