You never talk true. That's an ogbanje act or are you an ogbanje?
I mean... Why would anyone do such a thing if not for fetish reasons? That's weird now. Please stop it.

I wonder what she's still doing with you.

you must be joking. I sleep in that position whenever I have to share bed with someone I'm not in a sexual relationship with . Because I don't feel comfortable sharing bed with someone , especially people who snore or don't brush before sleeping

Paperbag:
Ok have been dating a lady for three years now and anytime she comes visiting we have issues about our sleeping position ...

Sometimes i change position in bed by sleeping head to her toes ( like my head will be where her legs are and my legs where her head are )

I notice any time i do it she wakes immediately and change her position by placing her head where mine is ,during the day she complains i should stop it thats its a taboo .

One night i woke her up to change position as i wanted to too and she woke up and started crying saying i don't want us to marry that its a very bad thing to do ,that if couples do it something will make them separate in the future, i got angry that night and left to the sitting room to sleep .

Now im getting worried about the issue , i can't settle down with a superstitious lady ..

So please if anyone knows the implications of the sleeping position please let me know ..

Thanks
is your bed that small that you have to sleep upside down

Nothing wey person nor go hear. grin Sincerely I would be worried if a loved one deliberately sleeps feet to my face every night.

I wouldn't deny that I had slept like that on very countable occasions in the past. It was usually during big ceremonies in our family house where sleeping spaces were few and very small considering the visiting 'crowd'. Heads cramped close to each other, poor ventilation and hot choking breath choking. grin Those were the reasons I slept in such manner.

In your case however such conditions do not seem to exist. So why would you take such weird sleeping position with a loved one? It's disturbing really. The worst you could do is to turn your face away from her if you do not like her breath. Anything other than this is suspect! sad This is enough to call off a wedding plan. Yes it is! She has reasons to be very worried. No thoughtful person will take it lightly.

I am not accusing you of anything. But anyone who hears about this will surely nurse suspicions. Dude this isn't normal!

It's not a taboo jare, I'm married and I sleep like that too especially when I find the position not comfortable I adjust the pillow and take the other side, when I'm uncomfortable again I switch. I do it many times even in one night.
Also, The head of our bed has windows directly to it which I will never allow hubby open because of cold for me so hubby will move his pillow downward to access the breeze from the other window while I maintain my own lane. The girl was probably brought up to think it's a taboo so you need to calmly talk about it

Boss shes not saying its suspicious or weird , her own be say na taboo with consequences to sleep that way ...

Its not as if my feet is directly to her face , like two persons fit even sleep in between us ...

Even if we d talk on bed and i just put my head the other way to get something she quickly change hers too to mine n complain about it ...even on chair ,she can't lay on the couch and i put my head the other way even as i dey ground and no way close to her ...

If i sleep on the couch in the bedroom and shes on the bed on the extreme end of the room , boss our heads must the same position

When she's pregnant, no one will teach her to rotate around the bed looking for comfort without minding her partner.
For most of the comments, everyone has a superstition that's stuck in their head/mind.

That was how we were told when young that it's a taboo or wrong for two people's head to be at the same level in bed, one has to move downward but now, who cares.

Taboos are just indirect ways of warning someone for safety purpose.
I know because I studied Yoruba.
For instance, they will tell you not to sew cloth with needle at night, simply because you may injure yourself with it.

She has been brainwashed to the extent of taking it so personal, expect she has other reasons, anyway.

There is nothing wrong in sleeping in whatever position you like, so far you are comfortable.

Just explain to her that there is no big deal in it and if she can't accept you will need to change to suit her, that's if you truly love her and ready to marry her.
She will change later when pregnancy discomforts start teaching her lessons. grin

The real jerk is that you are a weirdo!
You're acting strange. Common..., grin Who does that?

Late sleeper kor. What has that got to do with sleeping position? There's something you're not telling us. Please, come clean.


Don't mind him, if you're tired, take a shower and you will sleep well.
