stroke your hair until you fell asleep?!?!?!? I'm finding it really hard to get to sleep at the moment and he was just asking me if it took me long last night - then laughed as he said he fell asleep fine! He's very lovely really but when I said 'You could always stroke my hair until I fell asleep!'...

Stroke your hair until you fell asleep?!?!?!?

I'm finding it really hard to get to sleep at the moment and he was just asking me if it took me long last night - then laughed as he said he fell asleep fine! He's very lovely really but when I said 'You could always stroke my hair until I fell asleep!' - This was a joke as I know I have no hope he said - ' There is no man that would do that for his wife' - I disagree and he said I should put it to you all to see how many husbands and OH's that would do this!

This makes him sound awful but he is very lovely and shows he loves me in many other ways!?

So the question is how many of your partners would do this for you???? I wait to hear your responses!!! Thank you in advance!!!

    I am always the first to fall asleep anyway. He can go into the bathroom and brush his teeth and come into the bedroom and i'm already asleep. But i'm pretty sure if i asked him he would. He is really good to me. Quite often we are sitting watching tv in the evenings and i get the fancy for chocolate or peanuts and he will go round to the garage and get me something. And he knows full well that the likelihood of me doing it for him his close to zero. I am very lucky

    I HATE my hair being touched, so this wouldn't happen! I'd chop off their hands, then sleep peacefully. Having said that my ex would sit & watch my fall asleep. Ok, that makes him sound like a psycho. Obviously not every night, but if I was really tired or unwell (because I can be quite a bad sleeper) he would run me a bath, then pull duvet back with my favourite pj's ready; and then hold my hand until I was soundo...................then he'd go & put the football on! Having said this he is an ex! :-)

    H2B thinks that I am part cat - part doll (the ones that close their eyes when you lay them down) because if I lay down I will go to sleep, no matter what time of day or where I am!

    We do curl up on the sofa together and when we do I'll lay my head on his chest and the combination of him stroking my head and the rhythm of his breathing, I'll be asleep in minutes!

    Back stroking goes down well too!

    Ah!! There are some really lovely posts on! Lots of people seem to be in the same boat as me!! I've been reading them all out to him and there's been a few raised eyebrows from the other settee!!!

    Thank you for answering!

    He probably would, but I wouldn't like it so I wouldn't ask. I have really long hair that I plait up at night or he sleeps on it and I wake up looking like quasimodo.

    We do have a cuddling routine before we both fall asleep and then move to our own sides of the bed and fall asleep holding hands.

    He has been known to rub my back or tummy when I'm not feeling well or I have some dance related injury. He will even go and get me another drink, hotwater bottle if I need one and we are already in bed.

    He even does the ironing!!!!

    Yes, every night almost, and he now does it without me even asking, bonus Smiley laugh

    Same for if we're watching TV, he strokes my arms, rubs my feet - loves it! I am quite lucky in that he is very ticklish so I don't have to reciprocate!

    My lovely, romantic, sweet other half said

    "Which hair?!"

    And then gave me a huge wink and cheesy grin.

    That about sums it up ha ha ha ha ha ha!
