Dear Ann Landers,
his is in response to "Ceiling Zero," the Pennsylvania woman who did not want to sleep in the same bed with her husband, so she moved into the guest room. (He had told her that if she was in his bed, she should know "what to expect.") My husband and I have no problem with sexual incompatibility, but we do have a mutually satisfactory sleeping arrangement that Pennsyl-vania might consider. For the first few years of our marriage, I slept without covers on 17 inches of a 54-inch double bed. My husband was a restless sleeper and sprawled horizontally across the bed and hogged the blankets. My solution was to redecorate. I bought two twin beds. They each have their own covers, are made up separately and then pushed to-gether. With one bedspread, it looks like a king-size bed. Now, after almost 50 years of marriage, we both like our sleeping arrangement and nobody feels exploited. Pennsylvania and her hus-band seem to be thoroughly confused about sex, sleep, night and bed- things that are not necessarily related. A sexual act can take place on the kitchen floor or under the dining room table as well as in a number of other locations in the house. It can occur during the day or night. Sleep, however, generally occurs in bed and usually at night. Your advice to seek counseling is right on target. Sign me -Sleeping Beautifully in California

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, he was only a few pounds overweight. I pledged to quit smoking if he would promise to slim down. I have not touched a cigarette since our wedding day. D. has gained 50 pounds. He is a great guy. We enjoy each other, our children and our lives. But those mounds of fat are coming between us. He doesn’t understand why our sex life isn’t what it used to be. I try, but I’m turned off by those rolls of fat around his middle. Even his kisses leave me cold because his jowls are flabby. I decided a long time ago not to nag since I don’t want to hurt him. I fix proper meals and keep no fattening snacks around the house, but I can’t padlock his mouth when he walks out the door. Please help me, Ann. -Lovely Man but Too Much of Him
