Dear Love - My boyfriend’s coffin is lined with 1,400 thread-count silk imported from 18th century France. Our shared bed has a mattress from a Labor Day sale and while our sheets are department store brand the thread count is half that. He refuses to sleep in our shared bed. He says he sleeps “where comfort calls.” I say this is favoritism since his coffin doesn’t sleep two.

Dear Wishing,
You are correct. He has curated a luxury sleeping experience for himself and offered you a promotional mattress. This is not a lifestyle difference. This is a hierarchy. Demand a bed upgrade immediately. If he cites the silk as “historically irreplaceable,” remind him that so are you.
