I pretended to be sick an extra two days so my wife would sleep on the couch.

I was sick with cough, runny nose and a sore throat. My wife was sleeping on the couch as not to get sick. While sleeping alone, I was able to mess up the covers, use all the pillows and even infiltrate her side of the bed. I got some great sleep and was very comfortable. When I started to feel better, I stretched it out for two more days and said I was still feeling sick, so she would sleep on the couch again.
