04/16/2006: "My bedroom habits"

Mrs W and I have always slept on particular sides of the bed. As we slumber, she's on my left and - you've guessed it - I'm on her right. Even when we stay in hotels, we don't upset this important routine.

Things changed recently, however, when Mrs W broke her wrist ice skating. She's had several weeks in plaster and was worried about me kicking her arm in one of my football or martial arts dreams. Or maybe one of my dreams where I'm a top martial artist who's been drafted in as a substitute in an FA Cup Final.

I reluctantly agreed to swap sides. At first it was very odd, but after a few weeks, I kind of got used to it.

The question now is: do we swap back when the plaster comes off? We've read that it's healthy for a marriage to change positions every now and again. But we're such creatures of habit. I expect we'll revert to type.
