Do You Think It’s Odd for Couples to Have Separate Bedrooms?

Filed Under Relationships 

Genia: I have always been a staunch advocate of separate spaces under the same roof. For Andrea, it took some convincing. I need my space. I need a place where I can disappear, close the door and enjoy some uninterrupted me-time. I’ve never cared much for living with someone who needs to be within 2 feet of me all day, every day.

Andrea: I think it is a great idea to have your own room. I know that I am a messy person and wouldn’t have to worry about picking my socks up off the floor if I didn’t want to. I also know that it is important for me to have a place that I can escape to if I need space. My bedroom would have all of my things and be a space for just me. As for the sleeping arrangement, I would still want to pick one room as the sleeping room.

    OH! MY! GOD! I couldn’t live without my own space! I must have my own bedroom whether I sleep in it, or not. I also must have my own computer, my own office, my own bathroom, and soon hopefully my own complete library! That reminds me, how did people live in the past with one car and obviously a one-car garage? [Oh, let's see, let me beg my husband for a ride.] I’m so grateful we live in a 3-bedroom apartment! It’s sheer insanity not to have your own space! Even if I had just a one-bedroom apartment, I better have my own little private space where my paramour will know if I am there, do not bother me! By the way, I love when you ask for my website: http://www.caleighbrookswatchingthewatchers.com We love to spread the word. Our last “spreading the word” is a critique about Dr. Phil’s recent show about adoption, entitled, “Watch Your #$%* Language, Dr. Phil.” The date of the critique is December 16, 2009. We’re just – how shall I say – tired of being crapped on! In our post, entitled, “Makes Me Wonder What Else They’re Not Telling Me,” and dated September 2, 2009, you might also enjoy discovering who was, indeed, the REAL 1st HISPANIC Supreme Court Justice of these here United States. Nothing against Sonia Sotomayor but, please, let us give credit where it is due. Enjoy! Happy New Year!

    I would say it’s probably unusual for a couple to not share a bedroom (at least here in Australia, where the homes are generally smaller than in the States), but not “odd”. Everyone does what works for them.

    Depends on whether one of them snores, needs to play rock and roll all night to sleep (I had a lover like that on both counts so no joke) or otherwise isn’t much fun to try to catch some zzzs with.
