Subject: Who goes to the guest bedroom the sick spouse or the well spouse?
I sleep so much better with nobody else in the bed. DH tosses and turns and wakes me up. But nowhere else to sleep ...

If you would want your own room when you're sick, why don't you give your DH the same space by going to a different room when he is sick? Why do you stick around and rub his back? Would you want someone rubbing your back when you're trying to fall asleep while sick?
Umm yes. This is DH's preference to get his back rubbed while sick. He's currently sick now and I did that last night. We both sleep more soundly in the same bed. I can't remember a night that DH and I didn't share the same bed (although when we were first married my MIL tried to have us sleep in separate rooms still at her house! That was a NO in my book.)
Then why did you write this: "If I was sick I'd want to sleep in my own room." I must be misunderstanding you somehow.
If I was sick, I'd want to sleep in my own room. When DH is sick (as he is now) he too wants to sleep in his own bed and wants me next to him still. I don't see the point of going to the guest room. There's so many other ways he can get me sick just by sharing a house with him.

I don’t really care because both our comfortable beds but I think the sick spouse should be the one to choose.
