I hated the king size bed he bought. The first bed we slept in was an extra long twin bed, even more narrow than a regular twin bed. We couldn't move without touching. We spent 6 months sleeping in that bed. When we started sleeping in a double bed, it felt nice to have the ability to move around and not disturb the other person. We still slept close to each other. We slept in a double bed for the next 22 months during which we lived in different states for 8 months or so. When he moved after completing his Master's he purchased the king size bed. We spent another year sleeping together. It was a lonely year, so far apart.
