Who do you snuggle up to at night?

My wife had a hard time sleeping the other night because it was so cold in our bedroom. When she mentioned that the next morning, I started teasing her with “well, all you had to do is roll over and find the warm body”. Just to demonstrate, I had her lay where she was sleeping and then roll over towards my side of the bed. Yep – all it took was just one roll – from her right side to her back and then onto her left side – and there she was, laying next to where I was.

Funny, but sad. That the notion of snuggling up to a warm body in bed on a cold night is a foreign concept to her.

I used to feel as if there was physical barrier between us in bed. Not so much anymore. But there is still this sense of distance. A sense that, apparently, is shared by both of us.

P was laughing at me the other night bcz at one point I had my entire body curled up, w/knees pressed against his backside in a semi-conscious effort to warm up.
[Last night I put the heavier bedspread on the bed.]

Just goes to show - there is more than one way to heat up a bed...
