Just wondering if anyone has the same problem... I've never been able to fall sleep beside anyone :( I'm the lightest sleeper in the world, the tiniest movement/noise/temperature change will wake me up. I'm always either too hot or too cold and just can't get comfortable.
I was in one other long term relationship before I met my DH but we didn't live together, so I could survive a sleepless night once or twice a week when he started over. Same goes for if I'm staying with my family and have to share with my sister for a night, or if I'm on a girls weekend and have to share with a friend- I don't sleep at all, but it's only a night or two so it's fine.
I really don't want to sleep in a separate room from my lovely husband, and I know it always upsets him if we go to bed together and then he wakes up and I'm gone (into the spare room). But I've been trying and trying every night for 6 years to sleep beside him, and I'm just permanently exhausted.
I don't know whether to just give up and accept we'll never share a room (which I hate the thought of) or if anyone has experienced this and has any suggestions?
Everything else in our relationship is great, but I'm just afraid this will have a bad effect long term.
