[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How in the hell do your kids know the specifics of your sex life?  Perhaps they notice if you are not affectionate, but they do not know what goes in your bedroom -- I hope.

And I hope you are not confusing affection and sex.  Perhaps that is part of your problem.[/quote]

My parents didn’t sleep in the same bedroom and I was home all the time as a child/teen. They were married for 30 years. They barely spoke. I’m pretty sure it was sexless. [/quote]

My spouse and I sleep in different rooms. It’s because of different sleep schedules and a snoring problem. We find time to do the do. Granted, it’s  nothing “extreme” and only 1-2 times per week and has to be either at 11-12 at night or 6am in the morning.

I have 3 kids - age 10-16. They notice we have separate rooms.we used to try to hide it, by hanging out in the master at night getting ready for bed and just getting up early. but they would stay up late and see the setup (blankets, phone charger, etc) in the guest room. So now We’ve hinted as to “why”. Also we’ve gone on a few family vacations and it’s a running joke how bad the snoring is in the hotel room, that we have booked 2 rooms when we can’t get a suite.

We are not overtly affectionate in front of our kids but play wrestle and  eat together, watch tv, and spend time together as a family. This works for us, especially during these times. (We used to go on dinner dates pre-covid too)

Point being .... how would kids know whether you have active life or not. My kids know we have a healthy enough relationship and they feel safe that our family is in tact. Which is good, because we will be married “forever”.
