Separate Bedrooms
What do you think?
I have been sleeping in our guest room/office. I guess I just need a lot of space. I wonder if it will hurt my marriage overtime, but I was feeling crowded.
Re: Separate Bedrooms
What was feeling crowded? Do you have a King bed? or is it the bedroom itself? or do you mean that you need mental space?
Is that what you mean by you need room?
Separate bedrooms aren't such a great idea --- you still need the intimacy that the act of sleeping together in the same bed brings to the both of you.
Tarpon - I believe the medical term you're looking for is "jimmy legs." (Can't help myself when I can throw in a Seinfeld reference).
OP - I'm confused by your post, if you're looking for physical space or mental space?? If it's simply physical space, I don't see the harm. I usually head up to bed earlier and my husband stays up and watches tv, often falls asleep on the sofa. No big deal. If you're looking for some emotional space (and you feel like you need it on a regular basis) then I'd look into what is the cause. Because avoiding one another won't make your issues go away.
Thank you all!
It's mental and emotional space. I have been struggling with a very difficult situation with my career and my H. does not really 'get it'. Rather than tossing and turning at night (which is what I have been doing as of late) I found it much easier to move to the other room. I feel guilty, but at the same time much better.
