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.

So what say my fellow forum members?

You know my parents slept in their own beds.

I know I won't be able too. I love sleeping with my SO. Nothing compares to it. Actually, it's probably one of the biggest things I miss!

Guess with all the links there's no need really to be discussing the whys and the wherefores.

However.....When she's not pissed, we're in the same bed, close together.

When she's pissed, we're in the same bed, but not too close together.

When she's really pissed, she's enjoying the entire bed, 'cause I'm in the bed in the other bedroom.

Tonight could be a toss-up.

I woke up really early a couple of nights ago...... I rolled over.. Mrs. Chow wasn't there......


It bothered me..... she apparently went out on the couch to sleep, she couldn't sleep and didn't want to bother me.....

I've been sleeping by myself since I was born, and even as a toddler I never slept with my parents, so as a result I can't sleep with anyone beside me. It really bothered me when I shared a bed on family vacations, not being able to stretch or getting nudged or hit at night really bothered me. Don't get me started with people who snore! I don't know how it will be once I get married...maybe have seperate beds...I don't know.

There is nothing like waking up to someone you care about.

When I don't sleep entwined with my SO it bothers me, and we don't even live together.

If you can't get a good night sleep with your spouse, find someplace you can. It has nothing (or "shouldn't have anything") to do with your relationship. It mostly depends on whether you are a "light" or "deep" sleeper.

Maternal grandparents - Slept in separate bedrooms, grandfather slept on cot, grandmother slept on floor

Paternal grandparents - Slept on one bed in a gigantic bedroom, but the bed is larger than my bedroom

Parents - Slept in same bed when younger. Now sleep in separate bedrooms (mom prefers floor, dad on bed). Mom can't stand getting woken up in the AM and my dad talks a lot when he wakes up. They have their own bathrooms too.

Me: Sometimes sleep in same bed as husband. But now we sleep in same room on different beds.

Princess and the Pea syndrome? lol IMO while not disagreeing with you I think if you ride toward being either a hardcore snuggler or lose sleep at the very thought of losing sleep its best to stick with the same type in a relationship because it will become a sticking point.
