So you won't share a bedroom, but you'll share a City-Data account?

You know you can each have your own, right?

I'm more apt to judge couples who can't manage their own online accounts by themselves than those who choose to sleep in separate rooms.

Having been married 35+ years and sleeping together became normal ,but now she's gone.
I do not like sleeping alone particularly, but I live alone now, and have to deal with it.
I have a body pillow that makes it a bit more comfortable sleeping , but it's not the same thing.
I have met people that have their own bed rooms, and it's no big deal ,and for them it's probably more like a celebration when the copulate, rather then something that might otherwise be taken for granted.
Neither are bad, nor does it mean anything ,except respect for one another's sleeping needs.

What do I think of couples that sleep in separate bedrooms?

Nothing.

What others do in the privacy of their own home is absolutely none of my business.

With that being said though, I'd wonder why there would be a need for someone in my life to tell me this.

Considering how disgusting some people can be when they're sleeping, I don't blame anyone for wanting to sleep in separate rooms.

OP: Survey bias will lead to skewed results - there's no response fitting what would likely be the majority response: I sleep with my partner in same room/bed and although I think it is unpopular to sleep separately, I don't judge others making that choice.

The couples I know who slept or still sleep separately have not so great relationships.. I've known men who crash on their couch nearly every night. A question I have for such people (where there is no second bedroom for the exiled partner): You pay the mortgage or help pay it right? *looking quizzically at the actual/comfortable bedroom*

In the last year of my marriage my wife and I slept separately. Her choice. I knew that our marriage was in deep trouble; eventually it ended.

Now I start wondering what you do when you sleep.

Sharting?

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.
We do too! It saved our marriage!

All our family knows about it, hell most of them are jealous. We each have our own TVs, can watch what we want.

My parents did it and so do his parents.

Nothing wrong with it at all.
