Who has the blankets??

So I’m pretty sure most couples whether married, engaged or long term has an inkling of what I may discuss next.

Imagine it’s nighttime and after a long hard day all you want to do is get comfy for Mr Sandman. Now after being with my husband for just on 20 years I have a particular night time ritual.

He tells me it’s like trying to fall asleep next to a cat. He’s version of events for me falling asleep involves me going round and round to get the right indent on my side of the mattress. There may or may not be a little scratching involved and pillow puffing and flipping.

I then must have sheets pulled tight and covering me least the monster from under the bed may touch me. We all know that if you hang a foot or hand over the edge something may touch it in the middle of the night. You know I’m right! There are things that will go bump in the night, especially if you deliberately hang your foot or hand off the side of the bed.

Now once I have gone through my routine my Husband will inevitably mess it up. He loves to push the blankets to me as he rolls to the right. He always has his left leg above the sheets and somehow the sheets for him never go above his chest. Then he does this strange thing with his feet which pulls the blankets further down to the foot of the bed.

Thing is, he’s the one that then complains that I have stolen all the sheets or blankets. That man has no idea how to maintain even bedding coverage on his side of the bed. Nights when he is away sees me barley move on my side. And when I wake up in the morning I have the same amount of bedding I went to sleep with. I know for a fact that never happens to him.

Frankly I just don’t understand. I don’t get how one person can move sheets all around and then thinks I’ve stolen them!!! Apparently my Husband believes that the issue is all with me. That it is I that steals all the bedding. Does anyone else have these nightly bedding problems? If so what has been your solution?
