I do actually. When a friend told me years ago that she no longer slept with her husband I assumed they were breaking up. How wrong was I? He snores!

Yes, the snoring drove me mad! I don't know why people think there is something wrong just because you sleep apart - we both get a whole big bed and no-one to take the covers from you either.

We don’t but then we are definitely not Royal! 😅. We turn in and get up different times though.

This is becoming a lot more common, sharing a bed is not really essential for a good relationship.

jms19 especially if one gets up much earlier than the other, putting lights on, getting dressed etc.

I fall asleep downstairs with our two cats,wake up & go to bed as my partner is going to work most of time.These days I spend more time sleeping upright on our leather settee with feet on footstool & one cat next to me while other is on his blanket on my side of the bed!!!

My husband often sleeps in the spare room as our son comes into our bed and he ends up kicking his dad so it means he gets a better night's sleep.

Unfortunately I snore or grind my teeth so despite starting in the same bed my wife will often go into the spare room

I'm sleeping in separate beds. For me I was heartbroken when he said he no longer wanted to sleep with me after 14 years of been together. It meant the end of our relationship. Maybe there's something wrong with me or maybe it depends on how your relationship is outside of the bed. My ex now admits where not a couple which makes sleeping in beds that are in the same room odd. I'm stuck living with my ex because I'm dependent on him financially.

KAW18 sorry but that can't be good staying with someone because you depend on him financially I'm sure there will be some help out there for you if you need help

KAW18 I agree. There must be some charities or services which help people in this situation. You shouldn’t have to stay in a loveless relationship just because of financial issues.

JLouM There isn't much help. Plus I'm dependent on him to go out as I have Agoraphobia and can't go out by myself. But I have recently considering moving out and living on my own. I'm struggling to cope with the current situation. I've talked about us moving together but he doesn't want to move. Plus my ex is saying to the council that where still a couple when were not and he's even said this to me. What this means is that we would get a one bedroom property rather than a two. This would force me to have to sleep in the same room as him. I don't understand why he's doing this. Other than to have control. I'm really confused at the moment.

KAW18 Have a word with your doctor about agrophobia treatment and make them aware of your situation if he is controlling you. They will be able to point you in the right direction for proper help.

When I think about it, its a strange concept sharing a bed.

Why do we do it?

MarkSnook It is when you think about it. I am sure many people would get a much better sleep on their own.

yes. I love it. I love my fiancé so much but his sweating & snoring drive me insane. He moves alot too. He currently put himself on the sofa but I’ve just put a bed in our spare room. I’m sure i read somewhere that it’s actually NOT normal to sleep in bed together. (We do on holidays though)
