Who stole all the blankets?

Contributor: Red Vinyl Kitty Red Vinyl Kitty
I am sort of a blanket hog, so we went and remedied the situation. I have an extra three blankets folded over on themselves so that they do not extend over to my husband's side of the bed. PLUS I have a heated blanket which I use year round. It keeps me from stealing all his blankies.

Nope. It is really dumb looking but then I just cover up the dumb with a nice comforter and a lot of pillows and no one knows what's underneath.

HE says I'm the blanket stealer, but his reasoning is because I push him off the bed! I get hot like a furnace when I sleep and I throw the blanket (and Him apparently) off! He wraps himself up like a mummy, so I wanted to choose the second one but since we couldn't agree I chose the third.

My husband calls me his little blanket hog! He has accepted this fact and we now have our own blankets!

My guy and I have kick fights for the blankets. His poor shins! He does this thing in his sleep he swears he doesn't realize, but he'll grab me to snuggle, then use one hand to grab the blankets to get them on his side, then he pushes me away. It all happens in like 30 seconds. He's superman or something in his sleep

We each have our own blankets. When we first got together, we battled all the time. I tend to want a lighter blanket, while he likes the weight of a thick one. He farts in his sleep for too, and we both are restless sleepers. I sometimes tuck blankets under my feet and it drives him crazy. Other times, I get too hot and have to have my feet out. Also, with all of the tossing and turning and trips to the bathroom, we would end up battling with the blanket and then losing sleep, so we just opted to have our own blankets.

We have a king sized bed, and we use 2 comforters because once he steals the blankets I can NOT get them back. The last thing I want to do while I'm sleeping is try and move him to get them back. He wraps himself in them so I have no chance!

It's the same for us.. two blankets. I sleep wrapped in my blanket and my husband sleeps on his back with his head and feet tucked into his blanket.. it's just easier to have two.

I say neither of us, but I sleep alone enough that I am a hog, when I sleep with a partner, I bring my own to wrap in so that I can share the rest.

I used to always have my own blanket, i like to be kinda tucked in. and I also often need a thicker blanket then he does.

I have seriously contemplated getting two blankets because we both seem to want to wrap ourselves in them. I just can't figure out the logistics of how to make the bed like that, or how to make it still conducive to cuddling. What I really need is an extra extra big blanket

Same here He definitely rolls in his sleep and takes the blankets with him.

Sounds like the story of my life..... (But, as the blankets and pillows as an analogy.)

I've always been both a blanket and a pillow hog. I need at least 2 pillows under my head and one to cover my face, I can't sleep unless its pitch dark. I probably should get a blindfold or mask of somekind!

I think that the most drastic difference between my partner and I is how we sleep. He likes the room 100%--and I mean 100%--dark, while I love waking up with the sun shining down on and around me. I am usually in bed before he is so I get the first reign of the blankets, but by the time I wake up I'm usually left with just the sheet or a corner of the blanket while he's cocooned himself in the comforter and blanket. He's more than twice my size so taking them back would just be an exercise in futility.

My man and I used to do something similar. We don't use a top sheet because he sweats profusely at night if he gets hot, but when we had a bigger bed, we each had our own blankets, and we could cuddle when we wanted to, and when we were ready to roll over and be blanket hogs, we each had our own so no fighting!

Unfortunately, now we're staying at my parents' house until we get into our next apartment (waiting on a specific place for the current tenant to move out- we know the landlord, lol) so we have to sleep in a TWIN bed. Yes, you read that correctly, twin. He weighs about 220, I'm about 130, so it's not so pretty. And i hog the blankets all the time.

Have I mentioned I want to move out? Lol.

My partner is not a blanket hog...

But if I'm missing 2-3 pillows in the night, I know he stole them.

LMAO to my crazy run-on sentence, btw. Can you tell I'm a bit tired?

I don't think that either of us steal the blankets. For the most part we only share the blankets when we are at his house taking a nap

I steal the blankets. I love blankets. They are so warm and comforting. And I'm always cold.

Ditto - I learned the first week after moving in with him that it wasn't going to work. It's started out he covered his face and left his feet out while I tuck my feet and gotta be able to breath then it just got worse. I started making the bed up with strictly his and her blankets. Years later we still have his and hers but it's peaceful while sleeping.

My husband steals them when he goes to bed really exhausted. Then there's no chance of me getting them back.

My hubby is the cold on ein our relationship I am the one who is always hot. He obviously needs the blankets more than I do. In summer I will sleep with no blankets only a light cotton sheet, if anything and my hubby will still have the quilt on.

He steals them all, and they get left on the floor, and I'm freezing.
