Sleeping on the Couch
Just want to see what other people's thoughts are on this:
[Poll]
Re: Sleeping on the Couch
This is a fabulous poll!
I voted "other" because I might ask H to sleep on the couch if he's snoring really loudly. Maybe. Probably not.
But I'd never "make" him if he ticked me off, for two reasons. One, before my grandpa died he told me the most true advice he'd ever heard about marriage was to never go to bed angry. While I can't commit to that 100% (sometimes you just need sleep!), the principal behind it is much the same. Secondly, my parents don't have a perfect marriage by any means, and my dad can be quite the jackass...but I only saw him sleep on the couch maybe twice in my life. IDK, I just think that no matter how mad you are at each other, you still love each other, KWIM?
I'm not sure if that makes any sense...it's the end of the day and beautiful outside; I'm having a hard time forming coherent sentences!

I should also add that my opinion may be tainted a bit, since H and I only sleep in the same bed on the weekends due to his work schedule. I miss him too much at night to make him go to the couch on the weekends!
While I think I'll probably have the same opinion when he's off nights, who really knows?

if we were in a bad enough fight, i would probably be the one to sleep on the couch by my own choice...
...but I've also slept on the couch before because I just couldn't sleep...I always have a hard time sleeping, and sometimes sleeping somewhere else helps.
H snores, so he does get kicked out on the couch often for that, especially if he has been drinking he snores really bad and stinks of alcohol....
sometimes if we are fighting i kick him onto the couch, he falls asleep in a split second, i take forever and if i'm angry at him then i get more angry cause he can sleep and i cant...i sleep on my stomache so cant sleep on the couch....
I dont angree with the whole thing about not going to bed angry (PLEASE DONT FLAME ME!!!) of course its not ideal but sometimes we are both stubborn and need a bit of space, and a nights sleep can stop us from maybe saying something you would regret...
I'm not going to flame you, I sort of agree. I mean we'll always try to not go to bed angry, but if it's 1 am and he has to get up early and we're both being stubborn, we're not going to stay up all night until we figure it out. We'll put it off until the next day and sometimes sleep will help clear your head.
I made the poll because the other night DH played an April Fools joke on me right after midnight. We were laying in bed and I was pouring my heart out about something that was bothering me, then he said he had something to tell me that he had been putting off for years, and I thought he was crying (we were spooning I couldn't see him, but he was actually laughing but I didn't know that) and then he told me his joke and I believed him and started bawling and I thought he was asking for a divorce!
So then he tells me he was joking and we ended up in the living room fighting and I that's when I seriously thought I was going to make him sleep on the couch. He ended up sleeping in the bed though.
I"m over it now, but I've never been so mad at him ever
Follow my book blog: Panda Reads
Follow me on Goodreads: my read shelf:
I voted other. I have a really bad temper, so when I get that mad at him, deep down even I know it normally isn't the big deal I'm making it out to be. If I need the space b/c I am mad, I sleep in the spare room or on the couch, which I think upsets him more than me being mad at him does.
We also have a standing rule that if one of us is sick the sick person sleeps either on the couch or in the spare room, so that the person who has to work the next day can actually get a decent night's sleep.
