My wife had Crohn's disease and I have a very bad sleep apnea problem. I'm all about spooning, cuddling, being together etc. but, when one sleeps so lightly and the other and constant issues with the bathroom sometimes it's not such a bad arrangement. We were both teachers so early mornings we our norm. Getting a good nights sleep was very important for both of us. Usually during the week we were in different rooms and together on the weekends. It had nothing to do with love, but more with the quality of sleep we could get during the work week. | |

Mostly for the reasons you stated. Tell that man of yours how much fun he will have when you come a visiting and I'll bet in due time (if he's a smart man) he to will enjoy the arrangement. I think it's a great idea!Best of luck. | |

| His and Hers Bedrooms? Posted: 9/10/2007 2:27:02 PM | Hello Souldiva and All,
I used to think separate bedrooms went along with separate twin beds ala Lucy and Ricky?! You know, sleeping separately signaled the end of my marriage. But, following that I've been "back out there" dating and have seen it all --from the couples who are in love but in separate bedrooms, to the estranged in rooms down the hall just hanging on for the sake of the children. The point is, either way you wake up with yourself and you have to be happy in your relationship. There is no right answer to this -- it is whatever is right for you at the present time. I personally would not want that after several years of living the single life, but we are all different. Again, if you had asked me about this 10 years ago I would have said NO WAY -- but I'm a little older and wiser and have seen more of what's going on out there. Good luck to you. | |

| His and Hers Bedrooms? Posted: 9/15/2007 6:46:11 AM | | My parents have slept separately for more than 30 years now and have separate bedrooms. It works out quite nicely for them and makes perfect sense to me. I'm pretty sure that I would always insist on having my own space in my home, whether it was a bedroom or a study or whatever. | |

| His and Hers Bedrooms? Posted: 9/16/2007 12:45:18 PM | Souldiva, you are an intelligent woman, and I think you've stuck upon a great idea...it's been proven that people sleep much better in their own beds, and having your own room makes perfect sense for a woman such as yourself~
You can sleep with each other any day any time, any night, any morning you choose to!
PS embarrassed to say it, and I will probably be cursed, but all snorers should be doomed to sleep with someone else who snores! What a nightmare that is!!!!! | |
