Recently some distant relatives and old friends who have not seen us for a long time came to visit. When we showed them around the house of course they noticed that Jerry and I sleep in separate rooms. They acted all strange and suggested we must be in a marriage of convenience or gay and just married to look good. They were quite bold and told us that a loving couple do not sleep in separate rooms.
We have to because he snores so bad and we have completely different sleep schedules and we can not sleep with our insomnia in the same bed.
Are we that strange?
Yes and no. Yes, you and your husband are strange - but not because of the separate rooms gig.
Your friends/family are just jealous. Trust me - these stupid people are wishing they had the same arrangement!

While I respect your right to chose the sleeping arrangements that work best for you as a couple, I do think it is strange you have let this snoring problem have such a big place in your relationship.
If my husbands snoring (or mine) was THAT serious I'd be seeking all kinds of medical advice and help to resolve the problem - not just giving in and going to separate rooms. There is NOTHING that would drive me to leave my husbands bed ever. Wrapped up in his arms as I drift off to sleep is my slice of heavan on earth - I'd fight tooth and nail to not lose that.

You are not the only couple that does that for the same reason. My sister could not sleep in the same room as her husband. She was very sensitive to sound. You don't have to sleep in the same room to love each other. It is much easier to live with someone who has had a good nights sleep. Your friends are strange to even be concerned about this. I would get new friends.
Now would you like to know what it is like sleeping with someone who has seizures. That makes snoring a piece of cake! We hope his medication has it under control.

Kind of presumptious of them to say anything.
You do what works for you.
I used to be married to a man that snored so loud and talked and shouted in his sleep, I learned to wear ear plugs or I would NOT have gotten any sleep at all.

No, I know other people who don't sleep in the same room and have an otherwise "normal" relationship.

My In-laws have slept in different rooms for years because my father in-law snores like a cape buffalo.

Again, I do not understand just accepting this snoring situation - people need to seek help for that and not give up sleeping with their spouses over it.
