Would you have your own bedroom if you had space

[spanieleyes22]

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 🤣

We have a spare room which he uses when I snore badly or he's unwell. I've woken up alone today which is nice as I can piss about on my phone before getting up and making coffee without disturbing him.
We always start out in the same bed though.

100%

In a heartbeat.

I’ve never had my own bedroom that I could decorate just for me. Always shared with sibling, then room in shared houses, then with DH.

We always start the night off in our bedroom, but I move to the spare room if I'm not sleeping well. That's the perfect solution IMO.

I like sharing with dh.

I have one and I love it, DH is a light sleeping fidgeter and snores. We both sleep much better since we did it.

He always brings me a cup of tea in the morning and joins me in bed for a bit.

I don't think it would benefit us much to sleep separately but I did mention the possibility to DP a couple of times and he wasn't receptive 😄

I guess I'm lucky though as we rarely impact each other's sleep. I hardly sleep so am up a lot of the night, lights on, wandering about, making 'in pain' noises but DP just sleeps through it all. On the rare occasions I wake him, he's fine about it and drops straight back off to sleep.
He occasionally snores so I wake him and tell him to stop/roll over, which he does. He also works 2 night shifts a week so I get those to myself.

I've ended relationships due to snoring - I can't bear it. If DP suddenly became a bad snorer I'd 100% be asking for separate rooms.

No, but I'd love my own hobby room. Own bathroom too.

I had two relationships where we slept in separate bedrooms and both ended as we lost a connection and became more like flatmates. I vouched to never date a man who can't share a bed with his partner again.
We have a spare bedroom we use if either or us can't sleep. But wouldn't have a permanent setup like this again.

As a widow I have my own room, and will never share my bed again (except with the dogs). However I loved sleeping next to my husband, and will miss him forever.

Definitely

Personally I wouldn’t as me and dp are into our cuddles but I can completely understand why it works for a lot of people and why it’s becoming more popular. It makes a lot of sense especially if one person is a light sleeper.

No I like sharing a bed but I’d love an on suite dressing room that was all mine, so that I can get ready when I want without disturbing and without someone having opened the curtains next to my clothing drawers before I have clothes on.

Own room here, love it. The snoring was too much for both of us.

Nope, I’m excellent at sleeping. Plus…what happens if I wake up and want…😉

We have our own offices/hobby rooms and his has a spare bed in - we're both awful sleepers so I think probably 3 nights a week one of us goes in there, but still have 'our' room.

I like our set-up, I don't know that I'd like completely separate bedrooms - I think just because it makes me feel weird that we wouldn't have a shared space? I wish my office was bigger though - I'd love a reading area and bookshelves.

I really love sleeping together so would always want to do that. But would love to also be able to have my own room/bedroom that’s just mine where I can escape to.

That is exactly what I dream of (when I can get to sleep despite Dh's snoring) and would happily extend it to be the wing of a house, including work room, bathroom, lounge etc.
I'll keep dreaming!

This is me too

I do and I do. Quality of sleep is so important for a healthy relationship. Sleep patterns and body clocks are so individual - I can't sleep properly with someone else in the bed, and DP is such a light sleeper that he'll wake up if someone breathes in the same room or a crack of light gets in. That's not a good combination.

No definitely not. I'd always want to share a bed with dh.

In an absolutely ideal, dream-home, money no object situation...I'd love a master suite.

So a large shared main bedroom with super-king bed, small sofa/sitting area. Shared en-suite. Then two separate dressing rooms off the main bedroom, one each. I'd love to have my own totally personal space for my clothes, dressing table, make up, jewellery etc.

I'm not even that much of a 'girly girl', I don't actually have all that much jewellery or make up as I'm fairly minimal and am more likely to be found in wellies walking the dog on the beach than all done up 😂 But still, would love it.

yes, I sleep in the spare room Sun-thurs and it's brilliant! Can't beat a good night's sleep. We keep most of our clothes in our bedroom but some of my things in the spare room. We are going to be losing it next year due to a new baby and I think we will really struggle!

O yes! I’ve already managed to get rid of all DHs belongings in our room, he now keeps everything in his office. If there was room for a bed he’d probably sleep in there if I wanted. We are looking at some renovations, if we can pull it off we will work a way for him to have a bed in his office.

For the most park it’s ok sharing a bed, but I have chronic health issues and he needs to sleep which he can’t do when I’m struggling so having a room he can sleep in would be great.

No, but we do have a large bed and separate duvets. And usually go to bed at different times. So it wouldn't be worth it, I already sleep perfectly and it's nice to have him there when I wake up even though we do not touch each other at all when asleep. It's also really nice on weekend mornings when the kids come in for a big family cuddle all together.

However when we share a smaller bed at my parents' house, it's not enjoyable. I think I'd rather have two separate single beds than a small double!

i have my own bedroom, i couldn’t stand being squashed or being kept awake in any way any more. i wake in the night and have to put my ipad on and laugh out loud to stupid stuff i watch. We are as bad as each other in the night. i only sleep with oh if really necessary.
