This is my husband. I have a dog that sleeps with me and he has a dog that sleeps with him.

Married 32 years.

Wife sleeps on the couch. The "sleep divorce" has only been the last couple of years.

New construction houses are being built with 2 master bathrooms. One for the wife, one for the dude.

Sounds like an amazing idea to me.

Any time me or my wife is sick one of us will sleep in the guest room. Better to get some actual sleep than wake each other up coughing all night.

Multiple fans here. Sleeping in a wind tunnel broke me.

I finally said, "I now pronounce you fan and wife".

This.

Also, some spouses are restless sleepers and don't want to wake up the other (I will do this on occasion when I know I have an active turning night ahead [IYKYK])

Occasionally? It’s got to be way higher than 1/3. If my wife is sick, I’m sleeping in the other room. That an occasion

Sleep disruptions over time can really wreck your life and make you ornery. Sometimes your Humble Pimpness is a complete idiot and lashes out at 3 am like a profane kindergarten caveman and then spends the rest of his life regretting it. I think maybe getting the sleeping arrangements and dog arrangements right is probably pretty important and a good idea.

“Sleep divorce” is a stupid term.


My wife and I also have a "bathroom divorce." It works pretty great.

Married over 20 yrs. Always sleep together. She lays on her stomach and I lay on my back and she cant fall asleep unless my hand is on her bare arse.

Still having sex at least 4 times per week.

Some of the shite I read in this thread is sad and unimaginable.

Been married 45 years. Just in the last year I started sleeping in another room because of her snoring and getting pushed off the bed by the dog. Now the dog alternates sleeping with each of us and I get a fairly good nights sleep four times a week.

CPAP.

No more snoring for me. CPAP + Headphones + a meditation recording for sleep. It’s like I already am in another room. Or dimension depending on the recording.

I sent my wife to her own room once she hit menopause.

She snores like a bear.

I sleep better without her.

She's ten years younger than me. When I wanna hit the patooty ... it's kind of fun to wake up, slide in there, hit it and then leave. Sometimes she follows me back to my Master's bedroom, which is cool. I put her in one of the guest rooms. She has her own bathroom and closet in there.

It works great.

Seems you’re the exception to the rule.

My wife snores and sleeps with her dog. We've slept in different rooms for 10 yrs. She's not overweight or anything like that. I'm a lite sleeper and it takes me a while to go to sleep.

We are in our early 50s and our sex life has been great. I just send her a text and she comes get in the bed with me. Our marriage overall is as good as it's ever been.

I know a woman that says her marriage was saved when she got her own bedroom. Her husband has one mother of a case of restless leg syndrome.

My wife developed restless leg syndrome after about 30 years of marriage and asked me very sweetly if I would mind if she slept in another bedroom (in our house of course, lol) as she was concerned she’d wake me up - it’s was all good - very thoughtful of her.
