Do you and your spouse have separate bedrooms?

[KansDem]

I've known couples who have separate bedrooms. Generally, they tend to be older and want a better night's sleep--one can't sleep very well and doesn't want to bother the spouse, so he/she will sleep in another room or on the couch.

Then there are those who just sleep better alone.

And there are those who just don't love their spouse anymore and want to be left alone.

1. The only concession we've made over the years

was to buy a bigger bed. We're now sleeping in a king size.

I sleep very lightly; he could sleep through a machine gun duel in the next room. When I'm awake, I'm quiet so I won't wake him. When he's awake, everyone in the house must be awake.

I can't imagine sleeping without him.

2. That's cute!

I didn't sleep in the same bed as my husband for seven years before he moved out. I'd visit it now and then but we weren't in love and it was more comfortable apart.

5. It would be weird to sleep in the bed with someone I didn't love

I can understand why you decided to move to a different bedroom. :hug:

16. I can sympathize with your situation

i've told my wife she could sleep through a war... meanwhile, i'm a light sleeper most of the time.

sometimes, our almost 5 year old invades our bed in the middle of the night and I move into an empty room to sleep - our queen-sized bed can't really handle three people. So, it will be king-sized for us in the future.

3. I voted one room and one bed even though

we are LIVING IN SIN!!! And not technically spouses yet. :D

[Missy Vixen]

4. YESSSS!

>we are LIVING IN SIN!!!<

You go, girl.

I'm remembering the comment Betty Ford made when she was asked if she and the President would be sharing a bedroom. She said something like "I sleep with him every chance I get."

I love her.

6. One room and

one bed...and it's only a full size. I love it when he snuggles up to me in the middle of the night. Not a feeling like it in all the world.

[dembotoz]

7. not only separate rooms, but separate towns

for some times now.
my 12 year old mentioned the other day he had never seen us kiss or even hold hands.
He is probably correct

[bigwillq]

8. My parents sleep in separate rooms

b/c my mom is an insomniac and my dad snores.

The man and I sleep in different rooms too b/c he goes to sleep early and I am up all night.

[Fleshdancer]

9. one bedroom, one bed....

the only time we sleep apart is when I have insomnia. I move to the couch in the living room.

[Zookeeper]

10. I considered separate rooms for a while, but then....

I bought ear plugs. Everything is fine now that I can ignore the snoring. :)

11. I was #2 for nearly a year

now I'm none of the above

in my own place

[IzaSparrow]

12. raise your hand if you're living in sin.

:hi: MEEEEEEEEE

sometimes I have insomnia, so I get up and read in another room, but I always come back. It's more relaxing.

[Gormy Cuss]

20. You and Mander should get together.

:silly:

[IzaSparrow]

29. Whhaaaa!?!

then there would be 4 people in a bed! That's ridiculous!:crazy:

[BarenakedLady]

13. I moved to the basement

Over a year ago now.

[SPKrazy]

14. ...

:hug:

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

15. Hi

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

17. Personally, the day my spouse refuses to sleep in the same bed as I do...

would be the day I leave. Sorry if that sounds cold.

[Muttocracy]

18. I have a spouse? I didn't even know!

oh, or maybe this wasn't a question for everyone?

[mike_c]

19. voted number 2 but that's because I am gloriously, giddily, happily...

...DIVORCED. :woohoo:

[sce56]

21. Other! I have no spouse

The position is open any resumes can be forwarded to my private email ;)

But some times my two younguns will sneak into the bed with me especially as we watch a dvd on my computer It has been a cold winter here by the beach in LA. Yep I full custody!

[uppityperson]

22. 1 room, 1 bed, take turns on the couch depending on whose snoring bothers whom the most.

[sazemisery]

23. Other, see explanation below

Mrsazemisery and I are empty nesters. Our children have not lived with us for several years. We have 4 bedrooms. I have eratic sleep patterns and he snores. I am a BITCH if you wake me up. Mrsazemisery has learned that I say things in my awakened stupor that are not nice. He has learned to let a sleeping sazemisery lie.


we take naps together. :evilgrin:

[Broken_Hero]

24. We sleep in the same room/same bed

I find this somewhat hard/weird to say...but since I've been with my wife(5 yrs), I now...can't sleep right/comfortable, unless she is there....

[Scarlett17]

30. I know what you mean.

My husband always says that he can't sleep in our bed if I'm not home. Fortunately, I don't have to travel much without him. For me, I usually sleep very deeply, but if he has fallen asleep downstairs watching TV I will wake up in the middle of the night to go get him. I guess I'm not really deeply asleep until he's upstairs. I get much better sleep with the Red Wings are NOT playing.

25. One bed, one bedroom for us!

We love to snuggle...

It's a big bed, and so we can be apart if we want to be...

:hi:

[PRETZEL]

26. One bed, one room

for about an hour or so after we go to bed. Then usually right after I fall asleep I get awoken with her complaining about my snoring. I now go down to the basement where the sofa is alot more comfortable than the one in the living room.

Ironic that for the first 2 1/2 years before we got married this was never an issue but the day after we said "I do" it became a big issue to her.

It's amazing how much she's changed since we got married.

[fight4my3sons]

27. Two bedrooms...

because the kids always climb into our bed and dh usually goes into the other room with the older kiddo while I stay in the bigger bed with the twins. We'll probably get our bed back as the weather gets warmer.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. We start out together, but he is so restless after the surgery

that one of us usually migrates to another room. It's okay, though. It hasn't changed how we feel about each other.

[riderinthestorm]

31. One bed, one bedroom, one dog, 3 cats, the occasional child on a stormy night....

We need a bigger bed (and a door with a working lock!!)

It's a big pile that sometimes isn't very comfy, and I have to confess, sometimes makes me long for my own bed. I love sleeping with my husband but the add-ons that accumulate during the night in various quantities are beginning to be annoying.
