Dh and I have a toddler who more often than not co sleeps. Three in a bed was far from ideal and dh would often wake one or both of us up with his snoring. Meanwhile the toddler would kick and wriggle then get up at 5am so we were all shattered.
For the past month or so dh has been sleeping in the spare room and me with the toddler in our bed. Then when she gets up early he will take her so I can get another hour or so in bed alone. It's fair because I do the night time and he does the early morning, we're both less tired. But I really miss us sleeping together in bed. Dh is actually fine with it and prefers sleeping alone which makes me sad.
It's not an intimacy thing - chance would be a fine thing! We've never really been bedtime shaggers, it's always been earlier in the evening even before we had dc. But I do miss having a cuddle and a quick chat before nodding off. Now we just say goodnight and close our respective doors on each other.
I'm hoping that when dd goes in her own room (which won't be long now, we're taking steps) he will actually move back in here but I get the feeling he quite likes this new setup.
Am I being daft or can you still have a happy, healthy marriage and sleep apart? I joked we're more like roommates these days but it's actually true.
