No thanks. My wife and I are still catching up on the all the nights we slept apart while I was in the Navy.
My wife likes to talk to me during sex. Last night she called me from the hotel.
Since I have been sleeping apart from my wife my sleep patterns are much better. It’s probably because her boyfriend’s don’t seem to bother me as much. Oh yeah did I mention it’s ex-wife.
He likes a warm room for sleeping, I like a cold room. Just works great! You can be together when you want, but you don't have to be glued together 24/7. Yes, recommend it highly
My wife has cut me down to once a month. I’m lucky, I know two other guys she cut off completely.
We cannot sleep if the other one is not there. To wake up and feel the love of your life right next to you and feel their arm around you and have sweet words of love whispered in the night in your ear is priceless. Life is too short not to enjoy every second of the day and NIGHT. Someday when they are gone, the little things like the snoring, etc. will be the very things we would give anything for to hear just one more time. Love like its your last day. I love my guy more each day.
An excellent and touching post - my sympathies VetVet - it only hurts when you lose someone special.
My wife and I are empty nesters. We each have our own room. I have a music room studio/office and she has her frilly girly room/office. Neither has a bed in it. We still have a master bedroom where we sleep.
To be fair though, we met at hour 25 year high school reunion and have only been married ten years. When the honeymoon ends (if it ever does, that is), we may expand to a king sized bed, but that is about as far “apart” as we’d get. We force ourselves to sleep at the same time.

I quit snoring when I started taking blood pressure medicine.
Yesterday, I got in a cab and told the driver I wanted to go where the action is. He drove me to my house.

In 2002 the man who molested her when she was 13, her father, died and since then I have not been kissed, hugged, or been told “I love you” and when we do share the bed she sleeps right at the edge so as not to touch me.
Sleep together? yeah, right. I still can't sleep well alone even though it has been six years since she changed and her therapy has not worked at all.
My grandparents had separate bedrooms. Not sure if they always did, but for as long as I can remember, he had a room downstairs and she slept upstairs. They were married for over 50 years, so it worked fine for them. They always took separate vacations too. I can’t think of a time that they both came to visit us at the same time, even for weddings and such.
Climbing in bed with my one true love is the best part of the day.
I’m so sorry, but I applaud you for sticking with your wife. I know a lot of relationships that would have been over long ago if they had to go through that.
Sleeping ping.
We just got a bigger bed. Its possible we might get separate beds at some point and time but in the same room. Not separate bedrooms.
Can't conceive sleeping apart.
We generally know when each other is awake and if one gets up for a few hours, the other gets up too to watch a middle-of the night movie or something and she'll fix us a bite to eat.
Our marriage works better sleeping together. Besides, what would sleep be like without that knee in my back???
