I had expectations of snuggling up under the warm sheets, entwined together before snoozing peacefully for the night. Nope, more like me lying stiff as a board next to my girlfriend who snores loudly. I can't help but also feel slightly annoyed since she is the one who claims to have sleeping problems yet seems to get off very quickly. I've had this problem before when sharing beds with my friends but I assumed it would be different with someone you're in a relationship with.
I've started staying over at her house for the night and sharing her bed which is where the problem is. I just can't fully relax with someone next to me and it makes it worse when she falls asleep and starts to snore. I lie there for god knows how long completely unable to sleep. Eventually I manage to get a few hours sleep but only when I turn away from her. I mean it doesn't help that it's only a single bed and I don't have much space.
I feel guilty because it makes me not want to stay at hers too often. And if I suggested us sleep separately it would probably offend her. Is it something I'll get used to? Or do I have a problem? According to my mum I've always had mild sleeping problems and since I'm quite introverted I'm the type of person who enjoys relaxing on his own.
What should I do? :(
Put the internet to work for you.
