[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We look.down and make fun of couples of the 1800s (and before) for having separate bedrooms.... But the more I think about it, I think it was a smart idea. I would absolutely Love to have my own bedroom. Not have to deal with snores, farts, all night TV on, or lights on, etc. It is ridiculous the number of times I am awaken because my husband watching a show (loud), or have the lights on bevacsuse he wants to color, or wakes me up because he is freaking talking/playing with the dog (bye, I DO NOY WANT THE DOG ON MY BEF!!!!), etc.

I want my own room and piece of heaven!!!.

Come, have sex - Bam, Wham, Than you Man, and leave PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to freak SLEEP!!!!!![/quote]
1800's? Seriously? Most people lived in places so small everyone was sleeping in the same room. Perhaps in the 1800's people in castles, large estates, all rich people, had the option...see Gone with the Wind and any number of movies about kings and queens, but that certainly wasn't the norm.

Most people would say I grew up in the old days since they consider the 50s and 60s to be that, had lots of friends over the years and cannot recall a single household where the parents slept in separate bedrooms. Some had twin beds like in I Love Lucy but my parents never did.

I think your issue goes well beyond being in separate bedrooms to get some peace and sleep.[/quote]

I agree that OP's history is wrong.  Most couples shared a bed.  You had to be wealthy enough to have a big enough house that husband and wife had a separate room.  And the TV shows used the twin beds because of things like the Hayes code -- it was considered risque to suggest that a couple was sleeping together, so they put them in separate beds.  But very few couples in those days had separate rooms -- again, unless they were wealthy, in which case, they might well have slept together, even if they each had their own bedroom and dressing room.

That said, I would love to have my own room.  My spouse snores and is a very restless sleeper.  I would sleep SO much better on my own.  [/quote]
