Seperate houses in seperate counties.

If one person is a snorer (raises hand), I understand and support sleeping in a separate bedroom.

"How can someone so small make so much noise?" a former boyfriend asked. "I have a very crowded mouth," I replied. He laughed. "That wasn't a problem when you...."

My ex-wife's bedroom is 10 miles away. That works out just fine.

I always thought it normal for a couple who live together to sleep together in the same bed. But as I've grown older (and wiser), I now think it is better to sleep in separate rooms. Having one's own space in a relationship where you live together is important. Snoring, tossing and turning, gas, pets, getting up multiple times in the night, stealing covers, hogging the bed....nope, nope, nope. I relish my rest!!

You know, when I was younger, I used to think it was an awful idea, separate bedrooms. Now in my old age, I believe it isn't a bad concept. The thought of "visiting" someone in their room, and deciding to stay or go ( da da da da da da da da!!) is kind of interesting. Also, if your partner is the snoring type, a second bedroom isn't a bad thing.

I think it's nice to have the option..... Feel like cuddling go ahead... Feel like gassy or what not, go to the other room....no harm done ?

I've been in and out of a lot of older peoples' homes and for married couples, in my totally subjective survey, separate beds is the norm.
I just follow Lennon's 'whatever gets you through the night' approach.

Perfection ! You can always "visit" ...

Whatever they want

We've separate bedrooms. Snoring, more frequent night time bathroom visits. Somewhat different sleep patterns, pets (as you pointed out) led us to acknowledge the fact that we both just sleep better alone. It's got nothing to do with love or intimacy. Just growing older.

My husband and i have had separate bedrooms for the past 10 years. It works for us.

There's nothing better than waking up in the morning next to the person you love.

Hey whatever works for you booboo

I was married for 24 years before becoming a widow last year. We started out with separate blankets, then had separate beds for over 15 years, then separate bedrooms. It was a relief. I was so glad to have my own bedroom. I hope to keep it this way.

I think it is a great idea if it works for both people. Every situatioin is different and I don't think there is a 'one size fits all' approach

It works for many. My paternal grandparents had separate bedrooms and they loved each other very much.

Lots of reasons to have separate rooms.
Both wives snored like Mack trucks.
Yeah. I had my own room.
Sleep deprivation isn't good.

Well when my fiance and I move back in together we'll basically have separate bedrooms. I work nights, he works days.

someone snores . . .
Someone is a heat pump and toasts the other . . .
Someone has a harsh schedule (like a surgeon)
or some other reason

I expect humans have reasons, even if they are poor.

It's totally the best. My parents had seperated rooms, and I intend to as well. I have a queen size bed and I'll never be able to sleep next to someone again now that I can sprawl out

I'd probably do the same thing, or, at least seperate beds. I sleep much better alone, and I radiate so much heat when I sleep that my partner would most likely agree to it.

Frida and Diego had two houses, connected. I like that idea.

Totally, there are a lot of benefits to sharing a bed with your partner; but also having your own space. Having separate rooms gives you the best of both worlds. It's not like you can't have cute little sleepovers in the others room whenever. Nothing goes away, you simple add the freedom to breath. I personally am a tad clingy and don't often need space, but it happens; and not having any other options but to bear it would be detrimental to the health of your relatiinship.

My wife goes to bed early every night and I stay up very late. She gets upset that I come in and it wakes her up. At one time she slept in a different room and life was easier.

I didn't like it at first, but have grown to accept it. We both sleep better and she's not exposed to dealing with my PTSD episodes which can ruin a light sleeper. Our schedules are drastically different so it works. It does kill spontaneous intimacy though which stinks but you find other ways.
