This, if he doesn't mind not cuddling and it's just the issue after he falls asleep.

If its a body heat issue, maybe AC? or finding a compromise, such as just his arm rested along your hip/leg to possibly help his body get the "cuddle" it wants but not have full blown cuddling.

That would quiet possibly upset him becausr he would feel "separated". He was actually offended when i first told him about my issue (i worded it as nicely as i possibly could). We have an ac. It's just that i don't like to be touched im general when i fall asleep. And since he doesn't do it on purpose, making compromises like "just one arm" only works untill he falls asleep.

My woman and I are the reverse. She can't fall asleep without some sort of contact most of the time and I can't sleep without my own space. I do one of two things now that I've found work;

I push her to the very edge of the bed on her side and spoon her. Sometimes I end up falling asleep now like this which I'm fine with, but usually I don't and I NEVER did at the beginning. After she would fall asleep, I would pull away and roll all the way to my side, and there would be a decent gap even if she gravitated toward me because we started at the edge of her side. Most guys don't mind being spooned in reverse, my woman does it sometimes when I really just don't want to cuddle her. She calls it "jetpacking".

If he's really persistent while asleep, you can do something similar to the above, but shove a pillow between you when you pull away, or if you start the night with him sleeping away from you, do the same thing. My woman usually ends up smother cuddling it instead of me and I'm able to go to sleep without problems.

It's a hard compromise when you just want your fucking space and the other person is a sleep cuddler, but you can figure something out.

I'm an extremely light sleeper and whenever my gf stays over I just pull another bed next to mine and tell her I roll around a lot, and I would work really late that night and sleep when she's already unconscious.

OP, really, you need to sleep.
If you want to live with him and stay with him, you cannot compromise your sleep forever.
Me and my boyfriend put a pillow between us. He falls asleep before me, I cuddle him till he's asleep and then I put the pillow in and sleep on my side.
Really, who cares if he gets hurt, you cannot spend your whole life sleeping badly because otherwise you hurt him.

I do something like that but he usually gets half awake after his first sleep cycle and just nullifies every space i was able to get myself. Then he's back asleep and unmoveable like a rock. Bit i might have to try that pillow trick. Thanks anon!

Meh, he would probably call couples counceling if i did that. But thanks for the idea!
