The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 05, 2021

Let’s do it again, soon…..

For once they agree.

Maybe they need a bigger bed, twin beds or a recliner in the living room.

Now I’m amazed they managed to have even one kid.

Sounds like they can’t keep their hands off each other.

Let me guess, you two didn’t have to worry about coping with each other’s tossing, turning and snoring.;-D

Sleep is over-rated.

For me the advantage of sleeping in my recliner is that I know from the start I won’t be getting any bed covering for the night. It’s a given the wife will eventually end up with them, it’s always a surprise as to when that is though. Last night, I got up, plenty of covers, went back to bed, and they disappeared. I remember thinking, “They were here just a minute ago.”

The belief that marriage requires couples to share a bedroom, let alone the same bed, is ridiculous. Except for occasional “pleasures of the flesh,” beds are best enjoyed for sleeping, not fighting over the covers or listening to snoring of your spouse. Don’t trust her/him in their own room? You have a bigger problem than sleep.

liked each others company, but not what comes with it… makes sense to me.

TOLDJA SO!

My wife and I have different sleep times. We share a bed and usually our sleep hours overlap but sometimes it’s like we’re in the Navy.

I’ve done the same many times Brutus!

Without the whoopee in the bedroom, it boils down to basics. Maybe our grandparents had it right with twin beds……

Back in the day it was only a standard bed size – folks had more kids. Closeness. Then Queen size – then King size and now Gazillion size the whole extended family could sleep in and marriages have collapsed.

Now, where’s breakfast?

Since they both seemed to enjoy the experience of sleeping alone, perhaps this should become a regular thing. It might make for a less contested marriage, nah.

Separate bedrooms coming up!

The sleep might have been great, but I bet he’s going to feel it when he tries to get up… assuming he tries to get up.

I remember once when I was a kid an older lady was telling my dad that she and her husband were going to chuck their bed and get twin beds. I thought that was kind of a strange conversation, but the older I get, the more I “get” it.
