My gf wants to break up with me unless I get a bed frame

Plenty of females on that low bed :-)

Over 18 & not related tho?

Lol at this! I experienced the exact same situation last spring. I told my ex I had a surprise for her in my room. She wasn't impressed and said, "let's put your bed frame together." We somehow made it 10 months together before the bed and our relationship all came crashing back down.... lolol

Not sure why but western women complain a lot about this. I have a mattress on a box spring which is on the floor, and my wife complains endlessly about it. I wear the pants though so it stays.

I've rocked a floor mattress for a couple of decades now and have been through many relationships with it (average new GF every 6-12 months or so).

even if they're not initially too keen on my setup i've never had it be a deal breaker in the relationship before. it basically becomes a non-issue after a month or so.

for me it's a test, if the lady doesn't blink an eye at the floor mattress she'll likely be highly compatible with my views and dreams. i want someone who's up for motorcycling through the mountains of north vietnam or long through hikes in montana. these types of people are not gonna care too much about having a 'proper' bed frame

...so you're probably pushing 40 and still sleep with a mattress on the floor like some undergrad flophouse, and trying to rationalize it with Eastern spirituality nonsense? Let me guess, your home decor is an unframed Fear and Loathing poster and a wire rack full of DVDs and video games.

I'm with the girl here.

He is probably more of a minimalist like Donald Judd.

I'm with the man here.

Apparently not working out so well for you eh?

That's right. I've been sleeping on a mattress directly on the floor for the last 20 years. My girlfriend says that only immature Peter pan men sleep on mattresses on the Floor. I like this style, many eastern cultures do this, I'm torn between my girlfriend's demand and my freedom to sleep the way I choose. What should I do?

I think a bed frame will only lead to handcuffs in your future. Think about the long game

Yeah, but that's a good thing.

Rhetorical question: Is a bedframe really needed?

Honest answer: Frames make it harder for bugs/pests to get up there. . .I would demand it too.

Get one of them sweet racecar beds. That'll show her.

I'm 50 and have never owned anything but a mattress on top of a box spring on the floor. Never a bed frame. Do you at least have a box spring?

When I lived with women in the past, they had bed frames though. I've really never seen the point except that your pillows touch the headboard instead of the wall. Just never cared about spending the $ on it.

50 & single. Take note boys.

And when you're 50, you'll realize how great and BS-free it is.
