We both love our bed too much so if we fight, which is not all that often, we just go to bed and try to to brush up against other. Unless it's cold, then we'll just settle our differences with cuddles

On a more serious note however, I walked out on my first marriage and left the house to him. My second live in relationship I left with nothing except some clothes. I don't know anyone who has made their husband leave.

Luckily, my SO sleeps like a rock. If I want the bed, I just wait until he is asleep (about 2 minutes), then push him off the bed. I still get the bed and don't have to sleep with him.

i think when you start acquiescing to bullsh*t demands, the relationship is all downhill from there.

if she's mad she'll have to deal with it like a big girl. or maybe just put me out of my misery while i'm sleeping.

Because if you don't go out to the couch, in our resentment we will toss, turn, and accidentally kick you all night long, so it's for your own safety.

I have, because I was paying most of the bills and he couldn't afford to live there by himself while I could. Plus, it was my furniture paid for with my inheritance from my mother and it was my car that I was making payments on. By the time I got to the point of wanting to end the marriage, I was thinking, "Oh, hell no. There's none of this 'we' chit. I paid for all of this, therefore it's mine. Get out."

It eventually backfired because the lack of communication was one of the things that killed our marriage.

Ha, I am not a dude, but I don't want to fight. Listening, talking, trying to make the other person happy and compromising are all good, but if you want to jump on somebody or nag I am not going to listen. To be honest, I don't really have to worry about it. I hardly ever find myself in the position to argue anyway. I am pretty laid back, and I tend to pick people that are the same to hang out with.

Since I worked 3rd shift most of the time I was married, I rarely had to face sleeping on the couch.

For starters, getting fights going before bed time is a no go.

Second, I really don't think it's all that bad for husband and wife to have separate bedrooms. I personally don't like sharing sleeping quarters with anyone.

Because men are more prone to bad behavior and are more often in the wrong. They are more likely to engage in destructive and risky behaviors (like drug abuse, womanizing, and criminal activity).
