After 10 years together i would love to have my own pretty bedroom,in which i could have the light on as late as i wanted and not be subjected to a sweaty farting man who makes the pillows stink and coughs in my face in his sleep.

Unreasonable do you think?

i think we all feel like that sometimes

ClaudiaSchiffer · 24/07/2009 11:45

Ha, your op made me bark with laughter.

I would so love my own bedroom so I could read and not have to watch blardy CSI every sodding night.

Also the stinky pillows

YANBU

DH has slept in the spare room a couple of nights this week because I've kicked him out due to snoring. It is bliss.

Picante · 24/07/2009 11:49

DH and I have been in separate beds for months (am pg and it was just too disturbing). It's fab and for some couples I seriously think it can be a good thing.

elliepac · 24/07/2009 11:50

YANBU, you have just decribed the scene in my bedroom every night but I must also add duvet hogging to the list, sprawling out so i end up crushed against the wall and snoring.

I wish I had the balls to do it

Tim Burton and Helena Bonham-Carter have houses next door to each other in Hampstead, with a secret connecting door.
Now that would be great

bronze · 24/07/2009 11:56

Oh please me too.

Add to that unwanted groping

Hows it a secret connecting door? Do you mean it's in the panelling or something because its pretty well known really isn't it

Horton · 24/07/2009 11:57

YANBU. I want Tim and Helena's arrangement, too.

skybright · 24/07/2009 11:59

If i had a spare room i think i would actually do it,back in my distant memory i remember loving that feeling of falling asleep in his arms and loving it if his foot brushed against mine.

Now i fight for space and am not a bloody heater for your feet to get warm .

I do still love him btw ,just not between midnight and eight.

It is still a bit tabu though isn't it?

I know my inlaws sleep in seperate beds but she denies it.

DarrellRivers,that sounds fantastic.

we bought the biggest bed I have ever seen.

Often I am unaware that he is there unless he snores .
It is a bugger to buy bedlinen for though...

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/07/2009 12:02

happy sharing a bed with my snoring farting man coz apparently i snore and fart as well

though seperate duvets would be good, as dh always seems to end up with more duvet!!

hercules1 · 24/07/2009 12:03

I've told dh for years that as soon as we have a spare room to do this we'll be having separate rooms. I have fairly complex back to childhood issues for wanting this. No reflection on our relationship.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 24/07/2009 12:06

Pag we stayed in a hotel on honeymoon that had an 8 foot bed. On the second night of our marriage we had never slept further apart!

DarrellRivers · 24/07/2009 13:55

Super king size bed is the answer if you cannot afford neighbouring houses

wolfnipplechips · 24/07/2009 14:09

YANBU but a super kingsize bed was the answer in this house, still hates the way he rumples the beautiful white sheets up with his sweat though and the snoring is a pita.

shouldweorshouldntwe · 24/07/2009 14:13

Count me in as well. I cant say Ive had a decent nights sleep for years because of his snoring (and noisy breathing) and I am utterly utterly exhausted. Luckily weve got an unfurnished spare room and once its sorted Im moving in.

Stigaloid · 24/07/2009 14:22

YANBU - we bought a superkingsize bed and still i dream of a room of my own - espeically when his snoring starts up......

thedolly · 24/07/2009 14:22

YABU - if you can still have sweet dreams of pretty rooms then things aren't as bad as they seem.

MamaLazarou · 24/07/2009 14:38

I would be cold, miserable and awake without my DH in the bed. Things may change when the baby comes.

notcitrus · 24/07/2009 15:05

Own room is bliss! We've lived together 10 years now and always had own rooms - at first we planned to sleep in the same one but it seemed daft to keep trying given MrNC is a night-owl insomniac.

We do always cuddle in bed before I go to sleep, though.

juneybertiebottsbean · 24/07/2009 15:08

My parents sleep in separate rooms lol, they still love each other, they just like the space since my brother and I have moved out.

Plus there's two boxer dogs in the mix lol

Bleatblurt · 24/07/2009 15:09

Yanbu.

I have a lovely comfy king sized bed and poor DH has a single bed. We do share a room though.

GoldenSnitch · 24/07/2009 15:14

We have a double bed and a king size duvet. Solves the duvet stealing issues at least..

MoontheMightyThreadKiller · 24/07/2009 17:01

My DH seems to wait until he is under the duvet before letting rip the foulest smelling farts from all eternity. He saves them for me I think as a special love treat.

Own room would get rid of farts, sweat, groping and mysterious prodding AND a clean floor.
