One of our more 'precious' friends found this very odd. During the 1990's he stayed with us for a few days, and just after he arrived, he found something in his luggage for me while he was unpacking.
"Hey GB, I've brought that book that I mentioned for you if you want to borrow it?" he shouts down.
"OK sure, can you leave it on our bed while you're upstairs?"
"Yes OK," he replies, "which side of the bed do you sleep?"
"Oh either, just leave it in the middle I guess :-)."
"WHAT?", he says, sounding shocked, "you don't have your own side of the bed??"
"No not really, what's the point of having one's own side?"
I guess it was because this guy leads a very ordered life that he couldn't imagine not having his own side of the bed if was in a relationship. But perhaps it was because of the way he over-organised his life that's prevented him from ever finding a boyfriend. On another occasion when I stayed with him, I recall being told off for putting the jam back in the fridge on the wrong side of the correct shelf!
In recent years though, myself and boyfriend S have settled down to sleeping on the same side of the bed each night. But occasionally, if we've moved the furniture in the room around for example, we've agreed to swap sides going forward just for the fun of it :-).
With boyfriend P, it's been a bit different. Although he'll say that he doesn't really mind which side of the bed he sleeps on, in the past he did tell me once that he has a preferred side! So whenever we go to sleep together, I'll remember which side he prefers and try and take the other :-), but it's not a firm rule.
![Can't we swap sides of the bed, just once?](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNxF_hZXsb6gsP0SPpioKEZB0DYLj8qUDEnp_3eEBxtuq5QSeMGx64CKXwTMtSJih0MFSj9pZncx87XDDAo_puesy2EnEDiICMnk5W21Ge58Q9PgV-Sh6UdJJQ5eshktwIRqh8/s400/laurelandhardyinabed.jpg)

I find that strange! As the dominant person , I prefer the lefthand side of the bed...so my right hand is free to do the work!
I don't really have a preferred side but once I choose a side I'll like to stick to it. Not so much for orderliness but more to ease myself into sleep. Oh, you can definitely leave the jar of jam anywhere in my fridge if you ever visit :)
this is really interesting because i really do sleep better on one side of the bed than the other. this is horrible of course because it has made one of my eyes more open than the other. Its hardly noticeable anyway.
it would be fun if you made a post about pick-up lines.
Interesting way to look at things. I've never lived with a guy b4 so i've never had to share a bed. I imagine i would like my side cos i want my own space..
It's funny, because I've always slept on one side of the bed, HOWEVER, whenever I've slept with a guy, it's always on the other side!!! And now with McBrad, it's always on the other side...I find that I sleep so much better when I'm snuggled up against that side of him. :-) But who said that you have to indulge in activities just in bed???? ;-) That's what keeps things interesting for us! he he he!
