Thank goodness I'm not 1000 lbs in the same bed as FH!

I'm not the skinniest person ever but I am thinner than FH....he's not huge or anything but he always hogs the bed like he's the only one in it and it pisses me off! My OWN MOM gave us a king size bed and he has to sleep in it like he's the one in it...I have a corner of the bed every night and sleep like I'm in a crib basically. FH snores on top of it! Any suggestions as to how to keep him on his side without beating him would be appreciated.

We have a queen size and FH is like 6'2" and 289lbs. With my work schedule, I don't get into bed till after 11pm and he's usually been asleep for about 2 hours so he's all over the bed.
I just slip into bed and roll over right next to him and rub my but on his back. He's dead to the world, but this butt action really works. He rolls right over and I have enough room to be comfortable.
Its bad some nights too. Cause I'll only have a tiny lil sliver of bed to crawl into. And yes, he snores like a bear. I just fall asleep. It doesn't bother me.
But yet, I breathe through my nose when I sleep and apparently my "heavy breathing" wakes him up.....
Boo frickin hoo! You snore so loud I can hear you before I get in the back door!! Big baby.

My FH told me he does not snore..BS he sure does. So after a year of arguing about his snoring I finally pulled my phone out and made a video of him snoring. The next morning I played it for him and he laughed and now wears breathe right strips..No it does not stop the snoring but is not as loud.

My FH takes up most of out king size bed. He's not a gigantic guy or anything, he just likes to be RIGHT UP AGAINST ME ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!! and he snores and he steals the covers. I get hot at night and I will start to sweat and because FH is practically on top of me, this makes it worse. I HAVE to roll away from him just to cool off!! Therefore, no room on the bed. Also, FH will flop around like a dead fish at night and he takes the covers everytime he rolls around, and ALSO he's quite dangersous with his flailing! I've been hit in the eye socket by the BACK of his head, I've almost had my nose broken in another incident, and one night he "power drived" (wrestling move apparently?)me right in the back with his elbow. I couldn't move the whole next day!
So, I threatened to move to the couch. Now, FH starts out in the middle of the bed - he can't fall asleep without "spooning" and then when I get hot, I wake him up and he rolls over to his side of the bed. He still steals the covers most nights and the snoring is bearable, but I can now have some peace while I sleep.
