I Am Person B You Fools!

Last time I count on you guys to settle a debate! I am Person B and I feel the need to clear up a couple of misconceptions about me and most other Person B's.

The final tally between here and Facebook (I share my posts on my personal Facebook and many times people comment there instead, especially since Blogger has issues with comments so often) was this:

Person A: 10

Person B: 9 

And one AB combo.

Turns out there is an A-er and a B-er in almost every relationship. I wonder why us B's don't marry other B's that like to share the space or A's don't marry other A's that are so strict and demanding with their space? Wouldn't we all be happier that way? This is something that I suggest be talked about on all first dates from now on. It's too late for me, but maybe I can save some of you single people out there.

Anyways, the first misconception about me, a person B, is that I also don't want to be touched! I'm not a cuddler and I don't want my squiggly line crossed either. The only difference is that I think the line can squiggle and transform throughout the night as needed instead of that strict straight line down the center. I understand that a slight touch may occur when person A is changing positions and reclaiming space that B may be using at the moment, but after the slight touch, I will be more than happy to give your space back to you and I'll move my extremity elsewhere a space has opened up.

Also, I'm a considerate Person B! If I borrow your space, I will return it to you as soon as you need it. I don't plan on hogging your space all night, honest! One of my favorite comments on this debate was from a fellow Person B (imagine that) who said "sharing is caring". Yes! Yes it is!

Since there was no real consensus I've determined the only possible solution is for us all to get king sized beds. Maybe even two of them. In two separate rooms. Maybe even on separate floors. You see Person A-ers? Look how you make us B-ers feel with your strict lines and rules!

Settle A Debate - Space

It's highly likely that the solution we collectively come to in this situation won't change a thing. But it will give me some insight into whether I'm in the minority or majority in my way of thinking about this very pressing issue.

Space. It's always at a premium. Whether in your car, at your desk, in your house or in your bed. It seems we can never get enough space. Let's take the bed as an example. Many of us have two adults, a pet or two, and even a child in the bed with you and space becomes a major factor.

We have a queen bed. Occasionally our cat will sleep at the foot of the bed but not often. Charley sleeps in her own bed. Which leaves just myself and John and some empty space. Let's talk about this space though.

In Person A's mind, the bed is divided in half down the center. One half is person A's, the other half is person B's and the line is not to be crossed. This space is mine and that space is yours sort of mentality. This person also has sat up in the bed to mark the spot that Person B's extremity was currently located to prove to Person B the magnitude of the line crossing offense. "Look how far over the line you are!"

Person B has a more relaxed approach to space. They think that if a space becomes available and it suits our current configuration then that space is for the taking. Not for the entire night but maybe just while it's available. If the space in question happens to be on the other person's side, then they may have the space back whenever they please. It is their side after all.

Person B can also be quoted to say that it's like a child's toy. If you aren't currently playing with it then it's not very nice to keep it from any of your friends to play with. It's called sharing. And we should share any available bed space in this same way.

Person A responds that it's not like a toy, but more like a car. Just because you have parked your car in the garage all night and it's not currently being used doesn't make it available for those without cars. There's no guarantee that the car will be back in the garage next morning when I need it. So this person wants to keep all available bed space that is rightfully theirs to themselves in case they decide they need it at some point in the night.

So. What's the consensus, internet? Does Person A need to relax a little? Or does Person B need to abide by the laws of the bed as we should all know?
