Pregnant? Bed Not Big Enough? Sleep in Separate Beds!

I moved out of our bedroom when I started having hot flashes. When I miss my honey I go join him but once I start feeling the hot flash coming on I run back to my room. Its not fun waking up every morning at 4am.with your heart beating as if you were running a marathon.

Slept in a separate bed for three months of my pregnancy--I snored horribly and got up every half hour to use the bathroom. Nobody needs to sleep next to that.

PS You don't have to be pregnant to need separate beds. We had (and I still have) a California king because both my ex and I are tall people - my ex had a husky build as well - and a queen-sized build does not fit 2 tall people well at all! A California king is great, and a standard king is even better!

When I was married, my ex- snored and didn't like covers on; he also "passed nasty gas" in bed. Very unpleasant. Fortunately, we had a 2nd bedroom with a comfy bed and I often went and slept in there. He claimed he "didn't snore" and that I was "overly sensitive" re the smell - he was offended that I'd move to the other room. I told him he was insensitive, that he should go to a doctor about the snoring problem and the nasty gas, and that I valued my sleep. It's not the reason we eventually divorced, but I think there's a lot to be said for separate beds - and bedrooms, if the spouse is a snorer or if the spouse has different rising and sleeping patterns than you do. My mother and father, now 76, have separate twin beds in the same room. My mom would really like separate rooms, but that bothered my dad, so they have it worked out this way. One of my girlfriend's elderly parents do have the separate rooms solution, though, and it works out fine.

While I was pregnant with both of our kids, my husband worked grave yard. 10 pm till 6 am. I shared my bed with him from 6 am -7 am. It was awesome. I've told him, he would have been on the couch then if he was home.
I do love to snuggle sure, and there is plenty of room in our king size bed for us both (neither of us snore, and we each have our own comforter)
BUT I'm not against separate beds, especially if the room allows. Maybe even bunk beds! More room for activities!! (LOL... see 'Step Brothers' for joke)
Separate rooms? If that's what floats your boat, I've got my art room, and he's got his man cave so THOSE are 'our' separate rooms.

No thanks. I want him next to me. But, I don't have trouble falling or staying asleep, he doesn't hog the bed or blankets, and he doesn't snore. Even if any of these suddenly became an issue, having separate beds wouldn't be something I'd do easily.

Seperate beds and rooms. I think of my space as a sanctuary. Him, a control center with TV, computer, etc. I like the idea, don't see anything strange about it. When you marry you are NOT one person. Yu are 2 unique individuals. People might find that having ur space would IMPROVE their relationships and intimacy!!!

I would do it in a instant!!! When I want to sleep I WANT to sleep! I hate being awaken in the middle of the night because of my husband for whatever reason! I might even consider separate rooms if he ever started to snore!

I like to cuddle. When I want to sleep, I can't be cuddling. We have a King & we even have separate flat sheets and blankets.
I'd love to have my own bed and own room.
Sleep is important for me to function, run the family life, and not be a bitch while doing it.
It has nothing to do with my love, feelings or affection for my sweet man :)

I choose not to break up the marriage bed. :-)

Seperate beds are making a come back in popularity among loving couples for many reasons. very liberating. Thanks for sharing.

When my hubby snores like a freight train, you bet I've considered it! LOL I value my sleep quite highly.

I'm not pregnant, but I love the idea for a good night's sleep. I know a very happily married couple with separate bedrooms.

When I was pregnant there were nights it helped to sleep in a different bed. My Husband hated my pregnancy pillow I had (large candy cane shaped). I wrapped it around my body and slept in it like "a birds nest" as he called it.
