  • @BumpasaurusRex I totally agree!  I don't even like it when I'm falling asleep.

  • I really hate iTunes. Apple get on board, you make it easy to buy stuff off my phone so make it easy to cancel a mistake instead of needing to get on iTunes from my Mac computer at home. It's so frustrating!!!

    We have two sleeping beauties in heaven.

    @bdesterhouse I've had such good experiences with Apple support when I mistakenly made a purchase on my phone.  I once accidentally spent $50 on an audiobook that I only intended to link to, and I was able to just plug in my phone number to the support website and an Apple rep called me back almost immediately.  She was super understanding and reversed the charge with no questions asked.

    UO: I do not like to cuddle while I'm sleeping.  If we're just getting into bed, I can do some snuggling then but once I fall asleep, I need my space.  I can't be wrapped up in someone's arms all night or get sweaty with your body heat.
    Yesssssssss!!!!!! I don't understand how I got such a cuddly husband, I love it while watching tv or being on the couch talking but sleeping, that's a whole other ball game, and he just doesn't understand it. It hurts his feelings and I'm like its nothing personal but I cannot sleep with your heavy arm and leg on me and wake up with a crick in my neck from your arm under my neck! Love you though ... Lol
  • Team no cuddling here. 
    I also hate PDA. 
    Unless its my kid. I'm super cuddly with her and my H is always bummed when I'm like "get off meeeee"

    Yeah, I've done that too but I should be able to do it from the app or online without having to download the iTunes software. I don't have to call or email anyone to cancel or return stuff on Amazon and it's a breeze. It should be the same with iTunes.

  • Cuddling is pretty much the worst. If I could get two beds in our room we would sleep separately.
  • @cantalopes24 haha I say this all the time! My husband does not agree with separate beds, but that's because he's the sweaty furnace. I like to be cold at night and it's impossible with his abnormally high body temperature. It's like sleeping with the Human Torch.
  • I'm the cuddler, husband hates it. He cuddles for five mins so I can fall asleep and then it's off to his end of the bed for the night.

  • one of my besties shares a FULL size bed with her H.  I don't love my H that much. 
  • @PerraSucia that chick is nuts. Our King is too small,  in my opinion! 
  • to their credit they have an old historical house so there isn't more room for a bigger bed, but it was also their choice to buy that house haha
  • I love cuddling and spooning, but only for a little while. Once I'm mostly asleep, I'll turn over and touch his feet with mine, or scooch my butt up against his. This can be a bit dangerous if one or both of us is gassy. XD

  • Team no cuddle here. I am secretly happy when DH falls asleep on the couch because then the bed is ALL MINE!


  • +1 that I'm the cuddler, he is hot natured and starts to sweat, so likes his space. We share a queen with no problems. :smile:

    I do not like cuddling under any circumstances. 

    My UO is cake is gross. 
  • My husband insists on sleeping in the very middle of our king bed. My side is just a sliver. I'm not a cuddler and need my space. The whole thing makes me stabby.

    My UO is I hate sunshine. I live in the rainy northwest, it's sunny and 70 degrees today, and all this stupid sunshine is putting me in a crappy mood. Go away, sun.

    I've never liked cake either! People look at you like you have 3 eyes when you tell them too. I always had cheesecake at my birthday parties when I was a kid. Oh god, cheesecake sounds great right now..

    I have always had ice cream cake. And brought brownies (super fudgy ones) to elementary school to pass out to classmates. 
  • I'm team no cuddle too - which drives DH nuts because if I'm tired I'll fall asleep cuddling on the couch but I can't fall asleep cuddling in bed. I used to be able to but not now... We're in a queen size bed right now, but it is too soft and hurts my back so I head to a futon on the floor part way through the night. I feel bad about it but I can't do much to relieve pain right now so avoiding it is where its at. When we move we're getting a king and I'm so excited...

  • Cake is gross. Except ice cream cake. 
    Who hates sun? That's weird. 
  • I enjoy a little cuddle from time to time, unless I'm too hot - but I LOVE when we wake up a tiny bit in the middle of the night and hold hands for a minute.  I think it's just about the romantic thing that happens in our relationship.

    Usually I grab his but right after, because Romance.

  • Team no cuddle here too! My DH loves to cuddle and all I want to do is sleep. I'll cuddle up until I'm ready to fall asleep, then I move as far away from my DH as possible lol 
  • one of my besties shares a FULL size bed with her H.  I don't love my H that much. 
    I can't even sleep in a full size bed alone. We had a hard time finding our first house because I needed our bed to fit the master bedroom.
  • We have a double bed and for a short time we shared a single bed. Ideally I want my own bed. I don't want to cuddle. I don't want to be touched at all when I am sleeping. Many nights I sleep in a different bed, and I love it. To be honest I would love my own room, even just to relax in.

    I don't love summer. I don't mind the sun if I don't have to be in it. The humidity and heat make it too hard to breathe and no one should sweat from just standing. I also burn easily. I love the autumn.
  • We have an eastern King and its bliss. 
  • Another UO that might show my prudish side:  MOTN sexy time is a no-go.

    Before DS?  Sure, if the mood strikes us.

    After DS?  If you want to live to see the daylight, do not attempt to wake me up for sexy time.  I need all the sleep I can get.

  • UO: I actually dislike a lot of newborn photo shoots. Some of the themes or ideas are often too out there for my taste. 

    I'm very basic and boring.

    OMG I was so mad at DH, a couple weeks ago he woke me up two nights in a row at like 1am for sexy time. He's never done that before and what made me more mad was he had turned me down earlier in the week claiming it was too weird with a baby in there. So it's too weird for you at like 8pm but sure go ahead and wake me up at 1am and see if I'm in a good mood...  The first time I just groaned and told him to get away and fell back asleep. The second night I was like don't do this again, I will not be in the mood for this ever and fell back asleep.

    He also has a habit of trying for sexy time after I get out of the shower. Like on a Saturday we'll lay in bed for 30 min or so and he'll have no desire and then I get up and get a shower and when I come out suddenly he's ready. Sorry dude I'm clean now and you lost your chance.

    I like newborn photo shoots but the very simple ones.  I don't care for a ton of props and costumes.

  • We both love to cuddle and shared a full for four years. That seems to be the true UO here!

    @concreteangell I'm with you on posed NB photo shoots. They just aren't for me. Maternity shoots aren't either, particularly if they involve making a heart on my belly or similar. I just like straight up candid action photos.

    Every time I see one of those, my eyes roll so far back in my head that I think I see my brain.  It was cute the first, like, 5 times someone did it.  Now it's a really, really bad cliche.

    The NB photo shoots can have their moments.  I sometimes find them a little disturbing.  I don't like when a kid is obviously all propped up in a way that looks unnatural.  I also get kind of weirded out when the baby is obviously fast asleep.  I know that makes the photo shoot easier and everything, but why do I want a picture of a sleeping baby?  (Edited to remove inadvertently offensive comment)

    I'll elaborate on the newborn photoshoot UO, expanding to maternity, engagement, wedding photos, announcing a pregnancy etc:

    I feel like people try to hard to end up looking like generic magazine photos. No, it doesn't look artsy to scowl and look in the distance in a strange pose for a wedding photo. It ends up looking like you're annoyed you got married and said oh eff it, I'm all dressed up anyways let's capture the moment. Maternity photos always make me crack up too, with wistfully looking and cradling the baby bump. I understand the sentiment but they just seem so forced. Do people really frame these and have them on their walls for years and years? Especially with elaborate tutu outfits or props, just seems odd

    My UO- I hate pickles. I don't understand them and they're not allowed in my house due to the disgusting smell. It's a huge fear of mine I'll somehow crave them during pregnancy and every bite will make me cry with confusion.
  • Chick FIL A is way overrated.

    This made me lol. I agree with a lot of these. No cuddling, PDA, sunshine (love a cloudy day), and chil fil a I can take or leave. 


    My UO: I fucking HATE tail gaiters. Is driving up my butt really going to get you to your destination faster? Is that how that works? Is it????
