When we moved into our apartment many people who visited asked why we had two bedrooms full of furniture. They could tell we were in separate rooms and acted all strange about it. (I changed the subject.)
I wonder what people would think of our place. Three bedrooms full of furniture, plus a totally comfy couch in the living room.
Frankly, if people "acted strange" about seeing this, I'd wonder what was so boring in their lives that they felt they needed to make any sort of deal about it. The reality for us is that I moved from a 2 bedroom place, and we didn't feel the need to put this stuff in storage when there is a perfectly good place to put it in the house. But, honestly, what business is it to anyone else?
No ones business. If it ever comes up and someone gets judgy with "That's horrible, don't you two have sex?" Just say "Yes" point to the couch they are sitting on and say, "What do you think that is for?"
Interesting! So far about 40% percent of the replies support the idea that couples should sleep in their own bed at night ALONE!
Well, I didn't vote in the poll because none of the answers rang true for me. You seem to think that people either think it's a bad thing or a good thing. I don't really think that they way that other couples sleep is either bad or good. I don't really think about it at all.

Yeah, if there was a "whatever works for them" option, it would probably be the most popular. It's not really a thumbs up/thumbs down question.
My parents slept in separate bedrooms for as long as I can remember. Dad snored so loud you could hear him throughout the whole house. I can't imagine how hard it must have been laying right next to him. Plus Mom said he was a cover snatcher and she was always cold when she slept with him. And Mom was up and down all through the night, waking Dad up when she either got out of bed or got back in it. I grew up hearing pots and pans in the middle of the night when she was rearranging the cupboards or scrubbing on the bottom of the pans, or using the vacuum (yep, she did LOL). Her pots and pans looked like new after she passed and us kids had to go through all their stuff. Dad had passed away before her.
Yet, I can remember numerous times when I walked in on them somewhere in the house being all smoochy so I'm sure the romance hadn't died. It just worked better for both of them to have separate bedrooms.
Now that I have said it on City-Data, I can maybe tell my friends and family too! Maybe. But in all honesty I am kind of nervous they will judge me and think our marriage is bad.
Why do we sleep in separate bedrooms:
I don't sleep well with someone in the same bed. (Or even in the same room because we both snore!)
I like to go to bed early and wake up early, my spouse is a night owl.
I like to be messy and have my own room. It's mine!
I like to have a place I can escape to my own computer and televison set.
Take my poll about couples sleeping in their own rooms.
There are way too many "I"s, which isnt' surprising in the scenario you state.
clearly, all of your "I"s leave no room for "we"s. (I know there's no such word, but bear with me).
If you wanted to keep your independent ways, why get married?

The plus side is you have 2 beds to chooses from to have sex lol.
The couple I knew who are sleeping in separate bedrooms don't have a great marriage. If it wasn't for the kids, they'd probably be divorced
