So I was reading this article from New York Times and in it they were saying that more and more couples are not sleeping in the same bedroom. Like they're actually sleeping in a completely different room from one another because of sleeping habits such as snoring and moving around a lot or just because they have different schedules. And I want to know is it bad that you're not sleeping in the same bed because for me, as much as I respect their decisions to not be in the same room, for me, I can't do that. I love physical touch, it's my love language, and I feel much more comfortable having my partner next to me. But everyone is very different, so I'm curious to know your thoughts.
You know, I mean, I don't even think you should move in with someone before you're married, because why give someone all the perks of marriage without the commitment? So yeah, I don't know.
You know I have to admit in all of my years of dating and getting to know other people and whatnot It is very rare for me to come across someone who has this opinion, especially especially from the male side. So thank you for talking about it. It means a lot.
physical touch is a huge deal for me so I will absolutely not agree with us having two separate beds at all. We'll find peace with his snores and not if it becomes annoying.
Yeah, exactly. I see it as a form of quality time as well, like pillow talk and, you know, just winding down from the busy days. So that's what I look forward to is just being with with my partner in that moment.
Yeah, I see what you're saying. I just feel like for me, I just want to be with my partner. And like when he's away, it just makes me feel sad. I'm like, come on over, you know? But I get it, you know, everyone needs their alone time.
Are you not able to get the physical touch when you're awake? I'm confused. I mean, how much of a physical touch when you're sleeping, like can you even register that? Is that impactful to you? I'm curious.
I appreciate you being respectful in the way you asked this question and to answer it. It's more like I can fall asleep knowing he's next to me and it's sort of like a feeling of protection. like I don't know how else to explain it.
Alright, yeah, fair enough. So counter question then. What if, right, what if they set a timer so they They're in bed until you fell asleep. They left, set a timer before you wake up to go back in bed.
You know, I have to give it to you for being incredibly creative with your questions. So I'm going to answer this one as well. In the case of that, I'm actually an extremely light sleeper. Like I noticed the smallest of differences. And so, yeah, I feel like in my case, that's not going to work. But I do know of other people where someone could get away with that. Just not me.
I mean it all comes down to what is most comfortable for you and your partner I mean realistically if you are waking up at different times and you're actually having a negative impact on each other sleep the night crashing cause more problems than just either sleeping in I'm in separate beds there's a transition rate so you can either go separate duvets in the same bed so they are not like you not messing up the duvet split or you do separate beds but near each other and you do to prevent far away from each other or completely different rooms
I have heard a lot that couples do not sleep together anymore but sometimes it's because one of the partner is snoring so loud and then he gets uncomfortable for the other person
I don't even want to be in the same house as my partner. I always tell him that we would be much happier if we lived in separate homes because I'm very clean and he's very dirty and on top of that I work in the mornings and he works graveyards.
