Apologies in advance if my grammar is crappy. I grew up in a culture where sleeping (non-sexually) with parents is not frowned upon. So I have slept with my mom 95% of the time when I am at home with her. We have a multiple-bedroom home, but we still sleep in one giant bed. After graduating from university recently, I moved away from home for work. After settling in this new town, I began seeing this wonderful girl and having quite a lot of intimate moments. I might be in a relationship with her.

Anyhow, last night I was sleeping with my mom for the first time in a while at my new place—we slept like usual, and I passed out. Halfway through the night, I must have woken up with only the reptilian portion of my brain functioning.

In my half-asleep state, I reached out and gently moved my hands across, rubbing for a few seconds before realising what was happening. Just then, a hand grabbed my hand and moved it away. Right then, a massive WTF alarm rang in my brain. I didn't react. The first thing I heard was her praying (she's super religious—saying "Oh Holy Father," etc.). I pretended to be asleep, but the placement of my right arm cut off blood circulation, making it tingle for a good 20 seconds. I knew what was going on, but I had to pretend to be fully asleep while the discomfort grew every time she moved. Eventually, I shifted into another position.

All this was happening while my brain was going crazy over what had just occurred. But eventually, I went back to sleep and woke up in the morning. She didn't mention anything, nor will I. We had breakfast, and I am hoping she thought she was just having a crazy dream. At the end of the day, I try not to overthink it because I didn't intend for any of this to happen—it was just a bizarre, half-asleep mistake.

P.S. I realized something was off almost immediately—the girl I am seeing doesn't shave, but the smooth skin gave it away quickly. It was definitely time to sleep separately from now on!
