“Sleep divorce” is a stupid term.

Married people really doing this?


Yes.

My dude and I are not married but we live in sin. He snores and I kick. He is an early riser and I am a night owl.

There are plenty of nights where I fall asleep on the chaise in front of the tv and make my way to bed in the wee hours of the morning. When I get there, we have a king bed with plenty of space and separate covers because we have different levels of heat tolerance.

When we travel, we get 2 beds and we're both able to get some sleep.

It works for us. Sleep is important and we both function better when we're actually getting it.

There's nothing wrong with sleeping in another room. This idea that you've got to be sleeping in the same bed or you're not in love is silly.

When my wife gets clammy and doesn’t want to frick, I do this from time to time as well as cut her off financially for impulse type buying & support. I actually did this last night and woke up to my wife displaying some lingerie I bought a few weeks ago.

Women crave companionships/attention and spending money. We have separate banking accounts, so this strategy works.

Put me on a sexual island and I will abandon you likewise and deprive you of what women want. Gimme that cat and put some moderate effort in the bedroom and we can work things out. I got blowjobs back after about a 2-3 year hiatus with this strategy a few years ago and it’s now the norm. (For reference, been married 14 years)

Not sure how this will be received, but if your SO deprives you of the most important aspect of your relationship, it’s no holds barred open warfare.

I don't have a problem admitting that I have always loathed sharing a bed......with anyone. I do the majority of the time, but I don't really care for it.

Been doing it for years, couch or one of the bedrooms. She wiggles, keeps heater running when it’s 100 outside. I stay with her until she goes to sleep most nights and I get up early and crawl in bed with her around 3:30 for a while before I go to work. It’s all good.

Have some in-laws who do this. They're what you might call "big uns" and don't particularly like each other.

You went 2-3 years without a bj while married, whatever your advice is doesn’t work. shite, that’s just depressing.

say they occasionally or consistently sleep in another room

I have occasionally slept out on the couch when my back hurt or I had a bad cold and needed to be more upright in a chair. I do not consider this a sleep divorce. It was so my sleeplessness didn't affect my wife's sleep. (no pics)

More proof that surveys and polls are for phags and manipulators.
Take out 'occasionally' and see where it stands.

I’m 6 months from my 25th anniversary, and aside from work where I only came home every 6 weeks, that’s been the longest duration without one. I would have outsourced by 4th month.

Most definitely! Always get the double queen room.

Getting damned close to it myself. I snore like a freight train and nothing wakes me up. My wife used to sleep right through the night. Then came menopause. Now a mouse can fart and she's up the rest of the night seemingly frustrated at the world. Hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, hotter, freezing.

Of course I get a large part of the blame for coming to bed late or snoring. But in reality, I can fall asleep on the couch and she will come in looking for me. It's like she's listening for every peep or creak of the floor so she can jump up and complain. I'll end up getting all the sleep and she'll figure out it's not me keeping her awake. Oh and forget playing grab arse like you did when you were young. Last thing you want to do is wake up the menopause woman.

I cannot sleep with another person. I've tried. I get hot, uncomfortable and awkward. Most of the time I will stay in bed for an hour or so and let her fall asleep, slide out and hit the couch. I wake up between 5am and 6am normally, so I'll start cooking breakfast and put the coffee on.

I don't want to sleep on the couch or in the guest room. I just cannot sleep with someone else. It's uncomfortable.

ETA: I love when a woman falls asleep on my chest. It's probably one of my top ten feelings. But then I'm laying there staring at the ceiling, sweating, irritated because my hip is not comfortable and I don't want to wake her. So I just go to the couch.

That’s what I’m saying, these Mits are on some flesh at all times until I need to flip over to my other side. Then when I flip back over, Mits go back into place. My woman is like an oven though, I think Latinas are the warmest human beings on the planet. I don’t even need a blanket half the time.
