Old friends ridicule my husband and me because we sleep in separate rooms? (date, boyfriend)

[thepinksquid]

My parents do the same thing because of my father's snoring and my mother's kicking while sleeping. No, you're not strange! They've been happily married for almost 40 years now.

this is personal stuff, but what you do is far more honest than forcing a man to sleep with you for years and refusing to have sex with him.
many women do this for fear friends will talk about them. holding him to the appearance of a vow which she broke years ago is cruel, many do it.

It's not my preference, but I had to do it once because the man snored too much.

Yeah, I have had to get up once or twice myself and move to the couch. If I've been a bad boy then another bedroom

Well my Mom and Dad sleep apart, but then Mom is 73 and snores like a chainsaw. Dad is in his eighties and decided several years ago to get his own room in their house. Mom has always snored like that so I really do not know why it took him so long to get his own room.

My hubby and I actually considered getting twin beds for our bedroom and just keeping them pushed together with one comforter. That way when one of us gets sick we are not stuck sleeping on the sofa. We can just push the beds apart instead. We never got the beds though as we were given a nice mattress set for free. I know that my hubby would be heartbroken if I ever seriously wanted my own room to sleep in, so I'll never do it as long as we have no major issues (like snoring loudly).

That sounds just like my great grandparents. They had twin beds, but then he moved to another bedroom when she snored too loudly. My grandmother told me though, that the walkway between them was used quite a bit

My parents have been sleeping apart for like the past 15+ years (as far as I can remember). According to my mom, my dad snores WAY too loud!

[proudvoterofObama]

Absolutely not. IF I ever get married again, there will most likely be a spare bedroom I can resort to sometimes simply b/c sometimes I like to sleep alone - all sprawled out, no distractions and touching no one. But, that's just me!

A thunderstorm woke us up last night. It was nice to be able to curl around him and go back to sleep. I don't want my own room!
