Separate bedrooms....maybe a trend worth trying!

Since the last one left for college, we have our own bedrooms and it is great. We watch TV together in his bedroom (with the 50" flatscreen), and then I go to bed in the other big bedroom (no TV). In the morning, he gets up and makes coffee in his suite, and when I wake up we both cuddle up in his bed and watch Morning Joe until work.
He snores and likes to have the TV on all night. I like to sleep in sweet, dark silence. We are much happier now and actually have more sex because I'm not sleep deprived. |

| Love sleeping next to DH, we use separate blankets though. |

| I think it depends on a lot of things. I was happy the entire second half of my first marriage to sleep alone a lot. I really miss my current husband when he's not sleeping with me. |

Married 17 years here. We sleep apart fairly often - after a fight, when one of us is sick, when one of us has to get up super early, etc. DH can't really deal well with a bad night's sleep. |

| "She's wealthy but lovely"? |

Think that was code for not a stuck up b$tch. My sense was that she was gracious about showing her home. I get it. Some people that have money become complete assholes. Some are down to earth. |

| Hi its me the person who wrote this I am sorry about the "rich but lovely" statement, certainly not to imply that one cannot be rich AND lovely. I was really saying that although they are seriously rich she was really down to earth and wanted to show me her house, but not in a show offy kind of way. She is really humble which is why I like her. I think her arrangement warrants some looking into! My husband snores like a freight train and we have two empty rooms not too far.....sounds like a good idea, I had no idea so many do this! |

I would love to have my own room. I'm an extremely light sleeper, and can only sleep when the room temperature is 50 or lower. He's a snorer and likes the room warm. We get up and go to bed at different times. I get the best sleep alone. We could just have our cuddle time and then go sleep separately. He wouldn't go for sleeping separately, though.
I do have my own bathroom, at least. |

I can see both the pros and cons of this set~up.
The pros would be of course, if my husband had a snoring problem and I needed to get a good night's rest, esp. if I worked the next day. This would be a true God send. Also, I am a night owl and if my husband liked to fall asleep early, I could watch T.V. in bed or read really late w/out worrying about keeping him awake. The downside to this set~up to me would be lack of intimacy. I personally enjoy falling asleep in my husband's arms every night and the feel of his warm body close to mine. After many years of sleeping together, I just get used to it. However, to each his own. If it works for a couple, then I would never ever judge.

| Heck. We have separate houses 5 out of seven nights. Works for us. |

We use to, too, until we started using separate duvets. We picked it up from some Eastern European friends of ours--two twin duvets on the bed, rather than one, and we each get our own. No more cover fights, or waking up cold because my husband has rolled the whole blanket around himself. |

| We do about half and half. Sometimes DH has the guest room, sometimes we share. It's nice, actually. He loves it hot, I love the A/C cranked up - he likes to stay up reading his iPad and I love to sleep! |

| Hmm! It's probably a good idea. I am always hot and he is always freezing.... |
