a889324uu --- 10 years ago -

That's a real thing?

Why would anyone NOT want to sleep with their spouse...unless they hated each other? 

zapper007 --- 10 years ago -

Do you? 

Jpgirl --- 10 years ago -

We don't , but I totally get why some do. My Mom and Dad had separate bedrooms. My Dad's snoring was HORRENDOUS!!!! We had a tri level house - all the bedrooms were upstairs and he slept on the lowest level- we all could hear his snoring ( and night terrors) on the uppermost level WITH our doors shut. And when My Mom went through menopause she slept with the heating vents shut and the windows open in the middle of winter in Ohio! lol but we always knew when things got romantic- whenever they went to the same bedroom together.
Dh and I have slept in separate bedrooms at times, when I tore my rotator cuff, when he had knee surgeries and when one of us has pneumonia/ bronchitis . 

SSG Army Wife --- 10 years ago -

It's funny you mention this because just yesterday my husband was complaining to me that there is not enough room in our queen size bed because I allow the 2 dogs to sleep in bed with us. I told him that we could put a twin size bed in the room just for him or he can move into the spare bedroom. I was joking that we could live like Lucy and Ricky. In the 50's married couples slept in two separate beds. Lol

The dogs have to go...

and night terrors

My wife (bless her heart) has learned how to handle that without getting punched. I never goes away... 

Emperor of Kingwood --- 10 years ago -

Our generation (baby boomers) were not created in seperate beds. 

Leila --- 10 years ago -

No, but with our master suite is downstairs and the other bedrooms upstairs that was always too much trouble, lol. I have taken to the couch a few times when the hubby was really snoring badly. I can also see why couples do it and honestly, I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as intimacy still happens, it could actually be good for some couples. 

Fiona --- 10 years ago -

Some friends of ours have their own rooms. I can see reasons that could cause a couple to not share a room. Depending on sleep patterns one could be early to sleep while the other likes to lay in bed and watch TV or read. One could snore or toss and turn. Why should both people miss out on a good nights sleep. I have googled the question and to my surprise they even have homes with two master suites. 

SSG Army Wife --- 10 years ago -

Only on TV

Lol I really thought they lived like that in real life. Lol whoops

As far as the dogs having to go, no way Hosea. ;)

My grandparents slept in separate beds in the 70s 80s 90s and early 2000s. I'm not sure about the earlier years 

AwesomeTattooedDragon --- 10 years ago -

some couples don't engage in marital sex-that doesn't necessarily mean they don't share a bed, though- I think snoring or other thing that might disrupt their spouses sleep is a common reason, though- 

SueRDH --- 10 years ago -

Snoring and all night body twitches. I had to move to another room to get some sleep. 

Dorothy Parker --- 10 years ago -

I love sharing a room/bed with my husband...it's the only time we're ever alone! 

Wicked --- 10 years ago -

The queen bed issue is easily resolved with a King size bed. The snoring is resolved with a good sleep study and follow up. And there are some good drugs out there for those twitchy legs. :) 

waterfall --- 10 years ago -

It is very odd to not sleep in the same bed as your spouse. If there is something like snoring that is preventing couples from sleeping together, go get it checked out. Why allow something like that to disrupt your life? 

Hiro Protagonist --- 10 years ago -

The only way I can see it being o.k., is if there is some kind of health issues or something going on. 

Identity Crisis --- 10 years ago -

We share a bedroom, but not a bathroom. The boys have theirs and I have mine. They are gross, hairy, and have pee on the seat. The don't flush, and they leave the lid up. Whiskers in are in the sink, and clothes are on the floor.
It is a battle I have chosen not to pick.
I love my husband dearly..just not his bathroom. 

Eliza2 --- 10 years ago -

I gave up after 23 years. He snores, he hogs the covers, he hogs the bed, he goes to bed VERY early, and I go to sleep late. I like to read for a while, and he does not. 

I Love Reading --- 10 years ago -

My husband snores. He has slept in another room for over 12 years. He refuses to get help. 

Mayberry --- 10 years ago -

We have separate living rooms - he watches his shows and I watch mine. The only time we don't sleep together is if one of us is sick. 

Dorothy Parker --- 10 years ago -

I really feel for the ladies with snoring husbands. I would want a separate HOUSE if I had to deal with that.

My youngest grinds her teeth and that sound is almost as bad as snoring. :/ 

ThisLady --- 10 years ago -

That's weird. If you're married you should WANT to be with your spouse. Otherwise, what's the point of being married? 

mutton --- 10 years ago -

Times hubby falls asleep on couch but other than that no to separate rooms! We do sleep separate on purpose when one is ill. I feel complete and safe when he be at side... 

jefferinmax --- 10 years ago -

My hubby has a cpap that makes quite a bit of racket,and has to have the tv on (42" is pretty darn bright) our cocker spaniel likes to get between us and gosh he can snore, and im a night owl so i use an eyemask and earplugs. As far as the covers go, we have our own twin blanket on our adjustable king size bed.

You are out of your mind. Women are a thousand times worse then men. Did you say whiskers in the sink? Good grief, ever take a look at the shower drain after you guys get out? It's like Chewbaca melted and is now on the shower floor. Women's hair is EVERYWHERE. Clean, vacuum, whatever you do, it doesn't matter. I will find one attached to one of my shirts that I just got back from the cleaners. It's evil I tell ya.

As far as the question, nope...no seperate beds or rooms here. I agree with Randle, only way is if there was a medical problem.

Steady there mate....you are right about all that, but lets focus on the positive aspects of a woman/spouse.....they are...and...also...and don't forget....

Loads of positives about them, especially my wife, but whiskers in the sink vs. hair everywhere...no contest...lol 

RoseSr --- 10 years ago -

That's weird. If you're married you should WANT to be with your spouse.

While my husband was in the hospital I stayed in the room with him in one of those vinyl reclining chairs (very uncomfortable.) Now he has his own hospital bed in our master bedroom. I sleep in a queen-sized bed and wish I could have him share it. Unfortunately his medication causes violent nighttime dreams plus prostate cancer treatment has left him incontinent. But I keep an eye on him through the night and am so glad he is still with me. Enjoy your spouse for as long as you can.. it doesn't last forever. 

Leila --- 10 years ago -

As far as the dogs having to go, no way Hosea. ;)

This made me laugh.

I have never heard of "no way Hosea".

I thought it was "no way, Jose." Is that just because we are in Texas? I know Hosea is a biblical name so maybe that was the original saying and thought as we Texans tend to do sometimes :) perhaps we altered the original saying to suit our lingo.

Anyone know? 

AwesomeTattooedDragon --- 10 years ago -

I've never heard it called Hosea- I'm thinking the poster was kidding- 

Leila --- 10 years ago -

But I keep an eye on him through the night and am so glad he is still with me. Enjoy your spouse for as long as you can.. it doesn't last forever.

So sweet Rose. I hope you have your hubby for many years to come. 

Tylers Journey --- 10 years ago -

Rev and I sleep in the same room but different beds since I like mine soft and he likes his hard. It works for us. 

Identity Crisis --- 10 years ago -

Ever get a long hair wrapped around your nethers? Heard that's the worst. Or one in your buttcrack? 

aragon --- 10 years ago -

Ever get a long hair wrapped around your nethers?

No, I can't say that I ever have. I'd probably like it. 

sheddy --- 10 years ago -

My cousin and her husband have separate bedrooms. If you could see the way hers is decorated, you would understand why a heterosexual male would not step a foot inside The room. 

Dr Aborto --- 10 years ago -

Unless there are medical problems I don't see how having separate rooms does nothing but decrease intimacy. You stop being a married couple and start being roommates. I've known 3 couples who one day had the idea to have separate bedrooms and all 3 are now divorced splitsville. They try to justify it but we all really know what's going on. 

Butterbean --- 10 years ago -

I don't.
