You just need to wait 20-30 years when you are in full snoring mode and your wife is going through menopause and has 50 fans blowing on her to combat the hot flashes. We'll see who's talking smack then!
Someone gets it!
My ex-husband snored loudly enough to wake the dead in the next county. I daresay chronic exhaustion on my part from not ever getting a good night's sleep was one of the top three reasons we split up.
As for hot flashes, you're spot on there, too. It's tough on the partner, but it's also tough on the woman.
I'm curious........in my early and shorter term relationships we always fell asleep together. However it seems many couples in years long relationships/marriages sleep in separate beds etc.
I guess for a variety of reasons such as different schedules....etc.....some modern couples sleep alone. Myself I get elbowed too often to literally sleep with my mate.
I'm curious how many other couples sleep in different beds and/or rooms.
26 years together and still sleeping side-by-side. Six months ago I got off night shift, while Spouse is still working those hours. I find it hard to sleep those nights he's at work so the dogs (5 - small) sleep with me. With them it's a routine of:
*squabble to see who gets to sleep right next to me
*scratch the covers to make their section of the bed into a pool
*squabble some more when an adjacent pupster messes up their bed space
*fart
*paw their noses when I fart back in self-defense
*leap off the bed to retrieve the biskie, pookie toy or chew bone I just rolled onto and then tossed
*squabble with whoever took their spot when they leaped to retrieve
*stare at me in disgruntlement because I woke them from a dream where they must have been chasing rabbits, from the way their paws are peddling
After about an hour of this, they're ready to sleep, but not until after they've pushed me over to the last six inches from the side of the bed and we all fall to squabbling about space. When Spouse is home on his nights off, his snoring is a minor annoyance in comparison. The dogs are deeply annoyed because someone else has taken their space.
Once I did sleep in separate bedrooms with somebody, even though that's not my preference. The reason was his snoring. You need to get some sleep and you do what you gotta do...

That was the reason why my parents slept in separate beds. My old man's snoring could literally wake the dead and people from across the freaking city.
Thankfully I'm not that terrible, but I sleep on my stomach so that could also be why I don't snore so loud.

I can't see how separate beds would help...
