The only time I have ever slept apart from one of my GF's is when I'm out of town or she's made at me and sleeping in the other room. I understand where you're coming from as my GF is a bed hog but I wouldn't have it any other way. I rather she take up the whole bed than be somewhere else. I like to be able to reach over and touch her. It's a very restful thing for me.
Wife and I have the Eastern King (not Cal King), and it is exactly 2 twin beds together. The box springs are 2 separate, and the mattress is one huge piece. Cal King is longer in one side and shorter on the other compared to Eastern King. Very hard to find sheets for them here in California.
When we get a room in Vegas, we always get 2 Queens: 1 for sex, and 1 for sleeping.
In the past 16 years, wife says she can't sleep when something is touching her skin (skin to skin). It use to bother me, but over time, I too begin to not like skin touching me.
We also have 2 sets of comforter. She has the King size while I have a Twin size. There are times when we fall asleep snuggled together under the same blanket. Most of the time, we each are huddled on our own blankets.
We have 3 pillows each.
I had some mild snoring, and a few times my wife complained to me about it--specially when I fall asleep first. I had a sleep study this year and got diagnosed with sleep apnea. I got a CPAP machine and started using it.
The first month, I decided to sleep in the guest bedroom because I was not comfortable with the machine. But eventually, I got used to it. When I slept back in the bedroom, it was fine with the wife too--the machine is not noisy, and I don't snore anymore. In fact, I sleep well and feel more rested.
Seriously sleeping on the same bed is stupid if you are the one of the receiving end of nightime kicks, and a small piece of real estate on the bed. I have never gotten use to sleeping comfortably with another person on the same bed. I love my wife dearly and we have a wonderful relationship but I need to sleep. When I sleep on the couch or travel for work and sleep on the hotel bed I wake up refreshed. I suggested to my wife two seperate beds in the same room. We can cuddle and do the deed on one bed at any given time but for the purposes of sleeping only we get two beds. Why are women much more resistant to this than men are. Im a good man, I just want a good nights sleep where I dont have to sleep with a freakin thick blanket during the summer, and arms and legs in the spleen..
That's a tough one. Forget separate beds - heck - a lot of people sleep in separate rooms! We got into this discussion at one of my former work places and I was astounded by the number of couples that sleep in separate beds/rooms. And I am talking about younger couples in their 20's and 30's - not just the Cleavers like one would imagine. Most of them cited snoring, with a few blanket thieves thrown in. My husband snores like a band saw but there is no way I would want separate beds or rooms. I like having him beside me and at least I know he is alive. But that's me.
In your situation, you should be able to score a compromise of a long body pillow between you when it is time to drift off and adopt the Scandanavian practice of each having your own comforter (ever seen the beds at Ikea?). It's worth a try. You only get one spleen.
Separate room? No way. I'm too frisky for that. I need my lady right next to me!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!
My ex and I did the separate bedrooms due to his snoring. Our relationship of 5 yrs was fine until the end
