I'm starting to date someone new, and he told me that he doesn't know if he can ever get used to Kimchee and Linus sleeping in bed with us

I feel awful because I understand where he is coming from, but it breaks my heart to think about making Kimchee and Linus sleep somewhere else, especially since they have always slept in my bed with me, are the best cuddlers, and it's such special time for us. Has anyone gone through this and come up with any good compromises or solutions?
