Man, what is going on with your wife, if you have a king bed you should easily be able to be far enough from her to not actually feel heat coming off of her.

I take this as being kind of figure of speech. I don't think it actually happens much in a literal sense. I thought everybody knew that.

I mean I've said when my wife and I were bickering that I was "in the doghouse". Believe it or not I didn't actually spend the night in the doghouse.

I can't not argue if your next to me and I think I'm right. I'll never sleep on the couch, but in 8 years, I've probably slept in the guest room 2 or 3 times. Mostly due to a late fight and I'm just too tired to argue. And if I'm laying down next to her and something pops in my head, I'll be the one that turns around with the "and you know what else blah blah blah". Sometimes it's just better to go in the other room and sleep it off.
Man, anyone who knows me from the MSB or even in real life would never believe this, but I learned pretty quickly to always be the one who literally just shuts up and puts the wife on ignore as she's way worse than me. She does what you do, after we stop a back and forth, 10 minutes later she thinks of something and brings it up. I legit ignore it, don't look at her or acknowledge. Same with a regular "fight", we'll go back and forth for 1-2 minutes, then I just stop answering no matter how many times she comes back. Luckily, it's never real fights or really important stuff, so 20 minutes later, we're cool.

I just dropped $2700 on a new King Size bed and mattresses. I'm sleeping on them. When my wife had our daughter she slept in the living room on one of the recliners so she could wake up and breast feed. She's pregnant again so while I will get the bed back to myself again, I'll be joined by my 1 yr old, who sleeps like a wild banshee.

I have a bed in my office purely so I can get away. My wife has never kicked me out, but I have self-imposed exile many times.

Sometimes I just get tired of dealing with crazy.

This guy gets it. Its not being punished, its trying to get away from Crazy Train and get some sleep. You're not getting any sleep in a bed with a pissed off insane woman.

Hell no, I sleep in my bed no matter how mad she is. I usually rub one out one her leg just to show dominance.

What kind of women are you guys marrying?

Just go in your bed and sleep, what is going on in here?

Are boys that naive?
All she has to do is throw shite at you to get out the room and if a neighbor hears the commotion and calls the cops, guess who has to leave or go to jail? Couch or jail cell? Easy choice.

You'll see.

Beneath your wife/Gfs/left hands lovely exterior lurks some serious batshit crazy. The longer it takes to come out the worse it will be. Good Luck.

I self impose exile in a real bed in the guest bedroom because I don't like being punched and kicked when I snore, need to get the surgery eventually on my deviated septum. I don't care how big of a fight we got in, if I didn't have a guest bed, my arse is sleeping in a real bed. frick getting a bad nights sleep and a sore back for a week or more.

Is that the rationale you poor saps are going with to make yourself feel better?

I don't care how mad my wife is, I jump in bed and rub my junk on her just like every other night.

Actually that turns things right around about half the time.
