I sleep nude and the wife does not. We started out nude, but after kids, she started covering up. We have flannel sheets and a heavy comforter and me as a huge heat source, and yet she covers up head to toe. And yet she is now having hot flashes and so she throws off most of the coverings each night. So I have figured out that she covers up because the kids might see her, she also HATES her body, and she hates me touching her too much. Wearing clothes to bed when you have a HD spouse can be such a terrible thing for your marriage. Wearing clothes is just another way of preventing EC from happening.
