Dilemma

The burning question*: Should you read in bed when your partner doesn't?

It’s Monday, so let TheJournal.ie distract you from the ‘serious’ news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

WE KNOW HOW you feel. It’s Monday, you have the whole week ahead and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

This week: Reading in bed – one of life’s little luxuries, no?

Fine, if you’re by yourself but what happens if you have a partner trying to go to sleep beside you? Is it rude to continue to read with the sidelight on? Tell us which of these statements is the better show of manners when it comes to reading in bed:
