I had to sleep in another room when I was married because he HAD to have the A/C on and I was extremely allergic to the A/C.. In the years since I have found that ANY air blowing directly on me stirs up my allergies big time. We were the talk of his family when they found me sleeping on the sofa early one morning when one of them came by. I didn't care what they said, it wasn't their business anyway where I slept!

My daughter and her husband have separate rooms. She is been a real light sleeper since she was a baby and he snores BIG TIME! You should here how she complains when I sleep over there, she has snoring in stereo and gets NO sleep! LOL!

I couldn't imagine not sharing the same room, same bank account, same toothbrush (joking), but if you're happy and faithful..all the best.

My parents slept in separate beds almost as long as I can remember. Maybe it was the 300lbs worth of dog that didnt allow enough space for 2 people even in a king sized bed. But seriously, my mom work 12hr night shifts as a nurse and on the days she was off found herself sleeping much better on a softer mattress in a room by herself. Likewise I cannot stand sleeping in the same bed as my boyfriend (were 23). I'm the lightest sleeper ever and the slightest move, sound, or touch will wake me up in the middle of the night. We manage to nap on the couch on a lazy weekend alright but bedtime its separate rooms all the way.
So to answer your question...no your not weird...you might need some new not-so-nosy friends though. Whats works for u works for u.

The only strange thing about you OP is that you allow people to criticize you in your own house.

Next time, give them the boot and go to sleep peacefully, in your separate room.

I've seen several articles in online newsmagazines about how more and more people are doing this as they age. Snoring is one of several major reasons.

I have commented on this a thousand times..My ex was 300lbs and snored like a freight train. We had separate rooms and it worked out perfect for us..We could both get a good nights sleep and not be cranky in am. Sometimes I would ambian so we could sleep together but even sometimes that didn't help

I contemplated getting involved with someone who was going to more than definitely keep me awake at nights.

Well, the first time I stayed overnight with him at his condo, I ended up going downstairs and sleeping on his couch and still had to put a pillow over my head so I could sleep. He was kind of hurt when he found me down there. I asked him if he realized how LOUD he was and he said he knew because on a business trip where he had to share a room with another salesman, (two beds! LOL) the guy slept in the freakin tub to get away from my husband's snoring.

Ok....I have been with my husband for 12 years now and we do sleep separate because of his problem..it has gotten a little better or I am slowly going deaf from it..one or the other. Either way, we love each other very much and when it comes to the physical part of our relationship, there are lots of places inside our home to "get together" AND then there are places where we can both get our rest.

Your old friends are wrong on this one!
I am so used to my dh's snoring that I cannot sleep when he is not here and it is QUIET. LOL

It's amazing what you can get used to.

I'd love to have separate rooms. My wife stays up late, gets up early, pulls the covers, hogs the bed, and has ice cold feet. Plus there are no benefits, if you get my drift. Oh, she snores to.

For the many, many of you whining about snoring....get your man to a sleep study. Get a Capp on him and snoring is over, and he will get some quality sleep. Just make him.
