So, you're in a relationship with someone and the awkwardness has arisen where either one of you is going to "spend the night" at your respective lover's home for the first time. Do you ask your lover which side of the bed do they want to sleep on, let it take it's course or tell her "This is MY SIDE OF THE BED and just expect them to deal with it because it is YOUR home? And what about further down the road when the relationship gets even more serious leading towards cohabitating or even considering matrimony.....do you compromise and let your lover pick the side of the bed that will ultimately be THEIR side throughout the course of the relationship?
I am somehow sure that THIS will be the LEAST of my problems or compromises in a relationship when I finally do get into one....
Seriously though, when we had puppies, my side of the bed became the one by the whelping box. That for me is the only practical reason for wanting to occupy a particular side of the bed.

Hugz_n_Kissez: Well they have to wrestle the dog for any other part of the bed that might be left!!!!!!!!!!!
The dog, yeah... The other night my Mom was staying over and sleeping in my bedroom, so I made my bed on the couch where my dog usually sleeps. So this spoiled brat of a dog got on "her" couch, stood over me and tried to push me off of it using her nose. When that didn't work, she sighed, stepped over me and curled up right on TOP of me, resting her head on my shoulder. I think we do have dominance issues, after all.
I used to start on the right side, but in the morning I would be wrapped around her and have her" kissing the wall" while I had 4 feet of space behind me. You roll, I roll with you.

OMG!!!!!!!!!! Aren't they spoiled....My dog is NOT good at sharing either anything that she deems is hers!!!!!!!
We have issues with her trying to be the boss too...if I happen to look like I am sitting down and doing nothing according to her....then it's her play time...even if I'm on the comp....I didn't even used to be able to read or she would bark at me and if I refused to put the book or paper down...well she would just jump on it!!!!!!!!!!
life is about compromise. What side of the bed you sleep on seems rather silly! I just have never thought about it. I crawl in the empty side. What can it possibly matter??

Ah, I had one with a personality like that, LOL. A real boss. Mine, on the other hand, is the sweetest, mellowest girl you ever did see, so seeing her act so "selfishly" really made me
