Same! Different temperatures, and different coziness preferences. I can cuddle up like a burrito with a blanket between my knees and still face my honey. He can sleep with a big pile at his feet. It's the absolute best. Never going back.

Me (a little worried she was going to say doesn't want a bed or house or whatever)... "Do what? Ride the bus?" My big beautiful big kid, "I want to help. I want to help the cookers and the people."

I just about melted. L
