A WIFE has revealed how she put her husband on a strict spooning ban.
And she’s even sarcastically threatened to “murder him” if he tries to “snuggle up to her” before 7am.
The woman took to Mumsnet to moan about her spouse and seek advice.
“My husband is a hugger,” she penned.
“He has three pillows: one for his head, chest and back.
“But sometimes, when his pillow fort fails him, he snuggles up to me, inevitably waking me in the process.
“He thinks I’m a cold woman for grumbling about hugs.
“I think I’m going to murder him if I don’t get uninterrupted sleep.”
As a result of her grievance – and strongly disliking the midnight affection – she put a time ban on cuddling.
“I proposed a time ban,” she continued.
“He can’t snuggle me before 7am, when our kids are waking up.
“He says that would defeat the purpose of him snuggling himself back to sleep if he had to look at the time.
“Can I kill him?”
The wife’s post received mixed reactions on Mumsnet.
While some people called her a “grinch”, others called her husband “disgusting” and “selfish”.
Some women even agreed that being woken up for a cuddle in the night would also make them “murderous”.

“This is a great example of someone being an entitled bully but disguising it as love and affection,” one penned about the husband.
Another slammed: “Ask him how he’s going to sleep when he’s single if he needs to snuggle back to sleep.
“What a disgusting man.
“You are being objectified – he thinks you’re a tool to help him and not a full human being with needs.”
A third related: “My partner sets an alarm so he has time to cuddle me and I find it so f*****g irritating.”
