READ CONTEXT BEFORE VOTING




Context: Person A and person B are six months into a relationship. The two see each other once or twice a week, generally on weekend, due to work conflicts. Sex is indeed on the table, and has been since roughly month one. The two usually stay the night together once a week, typically Friday to Saturday or Saturday to Sunday.

Person A has very specific needs when it comes to sleeping on a nightly basis. Most are manageable, such as needing to be in a cold room, a certain number of pillows, etc. But the biggest need is that this person cannot sleep soundly when sharing a bed with anyone. This person does not sleep well when sharing a bed with someone.

Person B sleeps much better with another person in the bed, person A being the "other person" in this case. In a similar way that person A cannot sleep well with someone else in the bed, person B cannot sleep well without someone else in the bed.

Obviously there's an impasse here. There is no true compromise (other than getting two beds, but that's off the table because these two in question are just college students and don't have the cash for that). No matter how it is spun, one person is not getting a sound night of sleep on any given night. Person B has never outright said, "you must sleep here," but has strongly implied that it makes person B's life better, in a manner that virtually guilts person A into staying and sleeping poorly for a night.

Is person A "selfish" for not wanting to share a bed?
Is person B "selfish" for "guilting" person A into sharing a bed?
Both? Other?

What would you do, CE? What are your thoughts?

Just don't fucking sleep over. If they can't handle that that's their problem. No one should be obligated to share a bed with anyone if they don't want to.

So is person B getting lousy sleep 6/7 nights? Person B should see a therapist if they need someone else to sleep. Person A needs to get over their issue too if they don't want to upset every future partner ever.

Person A gets their way 6 out of 7 night a week. Person B only does 1 day a week unless they're getting some side action
Person A better step up.

Person A sucks and doesn't deserve a relationship. Person A should change or person A will die alone.

If you need someone else to fall asleep, you need to grow the fuck up. That isn't normal.
