thread to get over a breakup

I live in the UK. It's never *that* hot.

Well this thread got weird.

threadcount to get over a breakup

A+

xp to Laurel: you are welcome in my bed any time! I pity the fool who has to flop around like a fish on land ALL NIGHT.

i'm 100% with laurel, i can't sleep if there's a twisted or flappy sheet annoying my fusspot princess and the pea feet.

^from the last time we discussed this and for all the next times as well.

my feet stick out over the edge of the bed; if the top sheet isn't tucked i end up with it coming up to cover me from knee or thigh to neck, which is not ideal.

to those who feel trapped: you don't need to pull the sheet up hardcore; allow your wee little feet some sheet slack!

btw this post is relevant to this thread because my wife was a feet-be-freeper and now i am able to stave off such entropy amongst my sheets.

My feet also stick out over the edge (thus footboards make me IA), but mookie is 100% correct that you can have a nice, non-binding slackness that nevertheless keeps things tidy. You untuckers are a bunch of disgusting savages btw.

otm footborads are the worst

OK well the mr. (taller than I though not as tall as you) have a footboard, but it is a sleigh-style thing so there is a big gap between the foot of the mattress and the board, otherwise dude we would soooo not be married.

Mine stick out too but a huge part of it for me is that I don't want my feet covered! Unless it's very cold then I like them out. The rest of me can be covered (though half often isn't) but I hate hot feet.

Socks in the bed give me NIGHTMARES (as in fever-type too hot dreams), but icicle feet are perhaps worse :(

haha my ex wanted a nice grownup bed but the only ones she liked had footboards. so at least we avoided that boondoggle

stick a foot out the side dammit

xxxxxxxxxxxxxp

Laurel, I couldn't face posting the sitch on 77 so I webmailed you instead!

My dreams of 50-people-in-a-bed promo shots for ILX the sitcom grow more faint...

Usually prefer a tucked-in sheet and some sort of cover or duvet; that said, there's something alluring about spooning or otherwise being entwined with no covers at all so you can see each other.

whoa

genius!

bah - that's dumb

potential advertising slogan: 'get blown in bed'

that would piss me off.

listen nobody say anything else about their fucking sheets because I swear to God if I have to hear Grady complain to me about derailing this thread once more off board I'm going to start stabbing myself with a pencil or something

what if we knew who he was complaining to and are perpetuating this for just that reason? :)

Then you're all just assholes.

Anyway, the kibosh, I am putting it on that topic for my own sanity and personal safety. I thank you for your cooperation.

but! the sheets! we have to discuss...the tucking, and the things of that nature!

;_;

lets talk about spicy food now- who likes it? i cant really take anything spicier than tabasco, myself.

xxp Or you could tell him to stop whining to you. Just saying.

I think the thing I find most amusing about complaining about this thread being derailed is that, unless you are wanting to use it for its original purpose, essentially what you're saying is "SHUT UP AND BE MORE MISERABLE, ILXORS".

Oh, he's just doing it on purpose because I'm easy to rile up and he knows it. I'm not actually mad. I told him to can it though, don't worry.

i am resisting posting any of insights i gained when i went to bed last night

hot sauce pretty good way to get over a breakup really, replaces emotional pain with physical stimulation. don't put it near the genitals, though

i dreamt that you and i still lived together and you had invited your mom and grandparents to stay with us without telling me

you were passive aggressive as usual

so glad you are more-or-less out of my life!

We were supposed to be back together
and going to Barcelona next month to celebrate
I sent you a link to a nice little rental
You didn't answer
That was Saturday
you git

I pity the fool who has to flop around like a fish on land ALL NIGHT.

this is a very apt description of me! anyone know how I can train myself out of it? srs.

this is on-topic because it may lead to my next breakup, or something

also, Zora :(

yeah Z that rlly sucks

Is this Goblin Boy? Dude is seriously just not worth your time any more. This is a recurrent theme with him, the whole "can't make time for simplest of relationship things" thing. Curb, kick. Douche.

x2 on last few posts. Also yes, as much as I like beds and bedding, let's not drift off-topic. This may well be the most important thread on all of ILX....

so to sum up

the best way to get over a breakup is to spend an inordinate amount of time talking about personal peccadilloes and annoyances online, preferably ilx

can't think of a better way atm

not to be mean, VG, but you on this thread is like when Helena Bonham Carter's character in Fight Club insists on going to the testicular cancer support group.

awesome thanks

jesus christ

don't say 'not to be mean', just say what you want to say because it inevitably feels mean and now I'm embarrassed thanks

Yeah WCC this is GB. Luckily I have too much other crap going on to waste time angsting about the enormous pile of fail that is our relationship, I actually only just realised how much time has passed since I sent the link. So... over in my heart, at last? Perhaps.

I am a non-tucker, feet-out, flip like a fish type person. I'm probably hell to share with, but I love spooning, so I will happily inflict my hot flipping self on bed-partners.

lots of people post in this thread who aren't in the midst of a break-up

no need to single out vg and be an asshole about it

sorry - she/you just kept posting about sleeping habits after everyone else stopped, it felt kinda compulsive - i dunno.
