My hot take: this is unnecessary martyrdom. You could be honest about also loving the blue ones β€” you'd have one more thing in common and one fewer lie between you. Furthermore, what's the marginal utility of a blue candy? How much better is her life made by having, say, 10 candies instead of just 5?

    I don't understand the question. I meant that they might not be reading books and such, so when they go to sleep they just put their phone to the charger on the side they happened to use that time and use the nightstand on that side.

    The alternative is to be on their phones during bed. If they are the type of people who are on their phones before bed and not during bed then phone chargers have no bearing on which side of the bed the individuals choose to sleep on.

    pillows are no easier to rearrange than books

    don't keep the phone next to the bed

    bring your water bottle to the bedroom after filling it, and just put it next to the side you get in

    one of the best things in my last shared bedroom was a bed headboard with integrated lighting for reading and a shelf for books and stuff

    Lol is this a young people thing? We each got our meds, my CPAP, her giant water bottle, etc all set up. The heck if all that is getting rearranged at random! 😜

    That said, I do always try to get her to switch when we go away so it's different since then we do have to move everything around.
