To dream of seperate beds.

[skybright]

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?

. My DP had an accident last year resulting in a badly injured ankle. He can't sleep in our bed at the moment because of the unremovable footboard at the bottom of the bed so at the moment we sleep separately. I will probably go straight to hell for saying this but I am dreading the day he comes back to our bed. Of course I want his ankle better but I am going to miss the lovely fragrant bed, strategically placed cushions, tidyness, lack of the most disgusting farts ever, fidgeting, snoring and blowing in my face in his sleep. Of course I am not perfect and I grind my teeth in my sleep but I am so enjoying having the bed to myself. DS has even started referring to the bedroom as Mummy's room.

I don't however mind having Ds in my bed. He is wonderfully still, NEVER farts in bed and is lovely and snuggly

I am definatly not alone then

Pointydog...i have no idea what he does with his pillows,but he sweats so much that they are sometimes wet in the morning,no matter how often i change them,use pillow protectors and barf smelling Febreze,they are never that nice shampoo smelling ones that i have.

Gene.... That is my dream...

I've just had four, blisfully unbroken nights sleep - Dh stayed longer with ds and MiL on hols, I had to get back to work. I hadn't appreciated how much dh wakes me up normally!

We have gone down the separate duvets. The other night I woke up - I eventually worked out that I was cold and felt around for MY duvet - it was on dh.

Several years ago I woke up and something felt wrong - didn't have a pillow. I found it under dh's head - one of his had dropped out of the bed his side so he grabbed mine from under my head as an alternative.

My parent's have two singles pushed together in their spare room - I thought that I'd have my own space - but even then dh managed to work it so that I couldn't move my duvet properly around me.

In a King Size bed, I probably get about 2'. Unfortunately, when we stay somewhere that has a normal double bed, dh keeps the same amount of bed - which means I only get about 1'....

stick a shower cap on him

Been with DP for 17years, i would hate separate rooms - we do have a kingsize bed though, i couldnt possibly sleep in a double with him, we don't actually have touch each other in bed of a night unless we want to, if you catch my meaning. Im loving the wandering hands in the mornings I tend to go up to bed first as dp often falls asleep in front of the tv (we will get a telly for upstairs when we get some money - i'll not hold my breath then!) so i get chance to read. DP doesn't mind me reading but i know it keeps him awake so i feel bad. I do get peed off when he comes to bed at 2am and starts fidgeting around, waking me up and then i cant get back to sleep and have to listen to him snoring.

He recently stayed at his mums one night as it was nearer a job he was doing at the time, the plan was for him to stay for the week - we lasted one night, hated it, never again! Even if we have argued i still want him in my bed with me.

Pointydog,what a mental image you have given me

Dp can't get to sleep if I'm not in the bed beside him.

Oh, and he takes my glasses off, neatly puts my book on bedside cabinet and turns my lamp off when I fall asleep reading. That's most nights .

We got a kingsize bed and 2 kingsize duvets. You can sort of bundle it all round you and create a little cocoon that you don't get jabbed and elbowed through. I'm the snorer though. DH wears earplugs . He travels a fair bit for work and I sleep like a starfish in the middle of the bed on those nights to make up for being hung off the side of the frankly massive bed. He will ONLY sleep flat on his back with his arms at his sides. Which takes up a fair bit more than half the bed. Grrr.

I mooted this to DH a while back and he was mortally offended. Not only do i still share a bed with him, but the godforksaken cat normally sneaks in there somewhere. Luckily DH works nights a few times a year .

I have to admit I do rather get a better night sleep when DH is on nights

YANBU. I have been banished to the sofa bed because I've started snoring since I put on a bit of weight & on the odd occasion we do sleep in the same bed, I can't relax. Every little snort, or movement he makes disturbs me & I keep waking up when he moves because I think he's fidgeting because I'm snoring.

I think all couples should have seperate beds if they want. It doesn't interfere with our sex life, but I do miss being able to have a simple morning cuddle without actually getting up first.

Can i ask if those of you with separate beds/rooms have an active sex life? Surely some sex is initiated because you get horny laying together in bed
