Lol, we'd end up using my room everytime because he's so prone to clutter. The memories of his disgraceful bachelor pad are still too fresh. Well, at least I'd knew he wasnt having any other girls over; not too many would put up with having to fold laundry and run a vacuum just to find a place to sit.

My husband and I have separate blankets. It took a long time to realize that we should just have separate blankets and it stopped a lot of strife. He would always pull the blankets off my feet! And I like to bunch up the side of the blanket and sleep on top of it.

A special place for doing math? Cool.

Pretend people on the idiot-box slept in separate beds because the morality police didn't want you getting the idea that anyone - even married couples - had sex more than the number of times required to produce offspring.

Yup! The morality police also kept bathrooms from being shown on the idiot box as well. We can thank Norman Lear for breaking down that barrier.

Implying that the older one gets, the more likely it is that one snores, has to get up in the middle of the night to pee, has insomnia, has back or joint issues that either require freedom to stretch out or a different mattress than the partner, or, if female, has hot flashes. In short, the older one gets, the more likely it is that one's own sleep becomes disrupted, thus disrupting the partner's sleep. Well-being comes first, and if you're well-rested you'll be more amenable to sex.

My man cave in the basement of our home is great too. It gives me a space to relax and be alone. I like my space! My wife agrees. Can you relate?

This is such a good idea that I don;t understand why more people are doing it.

I couldn't see sleeping in separate beds or rooms. I would want to sleep in the same bed with my husband, cuddle with him and make love during the night.
