So a friend of friend is moving house and she has said that the main bedroom which is en suite and has a teeny balcony is going to be her room. She's having a dressing table and fitted wardrobes and the bathroom is hers alone. Her husband is taking a bedroom across the landing next to one of her sons and is sharing a bathroom with him. (Other children are up on next floor).

Would you if you could 🤣

My dh built me a bed on our landing..

We have a spare room that is used when either of us needs it but I treat it as ‘my room’ and have put some nice beauty stuff in there, pillow spray, moisturisers, that sort of thing, and I bought special ‘nice’ bedding for it.
I usually soend one or two nights a week in there as dh snores when he’s been drinking!
Although I can’t stand touching when I’m trying to sleep, the nights we share our proper bed are nice and pretty much the only time we have to talk properly without the dc around. Not necessarily deep chats 😂
I wouldn’t want official separate bedrooms but I do enjoy the nights I go to my other room, good telly and a comfy bed and silence when I’m ready to sleep!

Absolutely! Me and the dog…cannot bare the thought of sharing my bed !

100% yes!!!!!

Yes. And its on the list of things we re looking for in a house when we move next year.

The plan is a bedroom each with one of them doubling as the guest bedroom. I'm pushing for it cos I'm sick to death of disturbed sleep.

My DC have been waking me for the past 13 years (they have SN). It's now "only" 3 or 4 times a week. And inevitably the nights they don't wake me, I'm woken by DH for some reason.

Karmaisac4t · 03/09/2024 23:45

I do, and it’s bliss. My DH has sleep apnea, so his snoring is gone now he has his CPAP, but he snored horrendously for years so now we’re just used to both getting fantastic night sleep in our own rooms 😂

No. I like sleeping together & showering together.

For me the ideal situation is to have a spare bedroom with a nice bed so that one of us can go in there when sick, after a night out, or me when I want to be alone on my period. I wouldn’t want to have completely separate rooms with just our own stuff.

Dramatic · 03/09/2024 23:44

No I would hate that! As soppy as it sounds me and my husband fall asleep cuddling so we definitely wouldn't want separate bedrooms

FoxRedPuppy · 03/09/2024 23:43

Absolutely. Sleep is sacred.
