I have been secretly turning down the heater so that my wife cuddles with me more at night...

I love my wife, and I greatly enjoy her cuddles. She is always so tired after work, and it feels like I hardly get time with her anymore. I forgot to turn up the heater one night, so it's nice and warm like she likes it... and she just snuggled right up to me in the middle of the night. It was wonderful.

I have been secretly turning down the heater every night since. I don't want to add more weight onto her already full plate by making more demands on her time and energy. And this way, she seems to appreciate having a warm body next to her.

I know, it's not very open, honest and communicative... But I do enjoy her company so much, it is very hard to turn away any opportunity for just a tad bit more. I hope I'm not a terrible husband.

[EDIT - I did as most of you recommended. First, I asked if her if the temperature was okay. She said, it's was a little bit chilly, but she really appreciated me being there. I asked her if she was sleeping good, and she said yes, as long as she can cuddle with me! Then I told her what I did, and she laughed and we hugged. She said "man, you really know me!"

We are going to keep the temperature at 70 (she has it at 72 typically), and keep cuddling! 😊]

[EDIT EDIT - I checked the heater this morning... and it was off! She turned the heater completely off last night, to get more snuggles! I am not complaining at all!]
