    My partner is like this too. Seperate sheets and blankets. She puts up with a bit of my cuddle-lust, but you can tell she doesn’t like it. She has mentioned a pillow wall. But she finds sleeping seperately to be just devestating, and even during our worst arguments she wants me in the same bed.

      Yeah, in all reality, I don’t mind a little bit of cuddling, but when it comes to actually sleeping, he gets banished to his side of the bed.

      I already sweat when I get too hot while sleeping, which is funny because I am always cold. Extra body heat is guaranteed to make me sweat and I haven’t even hit the hot flash stage of perimenopause yet.

      I hope you guys find the right balance to keep you both happy 💚

        Again, that is all pretty much spot on our situation. We have elaborate heat-management rituals involving the cat, a fan, and multiple layers of blankets being tucked/shucked as needed. She is also not yet into the hot flashes.

        I’ve long presumed this is one of those PCOS-is-ridiculously-understudied issues.

        And yes, thank you! We’re both often surprised at our ability to come to mutually supportive solutions - just like real grownups! 😂
