    At this point my husband and I started sleeping in different rooms. We both liked it so much that we stayed in different bedrooms.

    Another good reason to start hormone replacement therapy.

    As a guy I figure getting hot feet would be much better desirable then getting cold feet when you want to have a romantic time in bed.

    If this represents even a fraction of what Lynn was like, i’m surprised Rod didn’t divorce her years earlier. I understand a woman can’t control how her body reacts to The Change. But that’s no reason to punish her husband like this.

    Well, for starters, take off that hot gown! Wear something light to bed and cover up—then kick the covers off when you’re hot. Geez, I’ve done this—be smart about it. It’s irritating to be sure, but there are things you can do.

    Sleepless nights make one unable to shave next morning.

    My honey would get up, walk around till she cooled off, then get back in bed and stick her Ice Feet on me. Thanks, love.

    men can go through similar hormone fluctuations as they get older, too. But I call the Power Surges.

    Menopause is a terrible thing. 20 years later, I still get the occasional hot flash.

    Separate beds and separate rooms so you can’t hear each other snore

    He just made it all about him instead of moving at some point during the night to another sleeping place. A blanket and pillow in the bathtub might even have been an improvement. She can’t help her situation. I hope he didn’t carry on with the issues during her pregnancy being all about him.

    Perhaps you should go sleep in your own examination chair, John, and knock yourself out with the gas. That way you won’t be bothered with patients.

    Not certain I went through that faze. Went through a different faze last year that hurt. Short: 6 months down, 9 month’s being careful. Could not sleep on my left side. Nothing what Ely’s is going through.

    That’s why you have a spare bedroom.
