sleeping around

as much as I would like to think that Charles and I have the perfect relationship,

I know that there is one very faulty piece.

it is a constant battle between us,

and one that i am refusing to give up on.

call it needy, call it annoying, call it smothering,

i dont care what you call it.

I am a cuddler, and a snuggler and

a want-to-be-right-next-to-you-all-nighter.

Charles is a not so cuddly giant, who wants his space in the bed;

untouched by his girlfriend.

my ideal sleeping arrangements: 

me halfway on my side and halfway on my stomach

with my left leg bent at the knee and resting on top of him.

here's the kicker: being 6'8", when my head is on his chest, my bent knee is in his crotch.

i get it, its probably not comfortable, but it is to me.

and what is more important than my beauty sleep?

i keep trying to tell him,

 he does NOT want to see me after a sleepless night

so in order to combat my sleeping styles,

Charles- the ever so stubborn snoozer,

lays on his side. completely on his side.

he has to sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door,

and prefers to be a right side sleeper.

so that means his back is to me.

his giant 6'8" hairy back has cut me off from all forms of snuggling.

and i. dont. like. it.

to start out, he always succumbs to my request,

but within 20 minutes is bored with me

and on his side he goes. BOO.

so multiple times throughout the night i wake up

and conversations go like this:

"baby. baby."whispering

*no answer*

"BABY!"yelling

"what??" in a grumbling sleepy voice

"come over here"back to whispering

and then he turns over and allows me to

drape myself over him again.

for 20 minutes maximum.

so this past weekend, at my mom's house,

we crawled in to our bed and

after 2 weeks of not seeing each other

i thought FOR SURE! he'll want to snuggle with me.

he didnt.

i pouted.

he told me i was dramatic.

i said DUH. have you met me?

and back to sleeping on the side of the bed

all by my lonesome i was.

i thought one of the perks of having a partner

was so that you didnt have to feel alone/rejected in bed anymore.

not.

Charles' cousin told me to just give up on it now,

because Stackhouse men are not cuddlers.

i refuse to waive the white flag on this one.
