Anyone in this position? Why is it that married couples feel they have to share a room?

I cannot stand sharing a room because I really need a space to live where I am physically separated from others. I also don't particularly like sharing a bed.

I'm lucky that in my situation my partner also finds we don't have enough space each to share a bed so we have always had beds in seperate rooms. I think if we had to share a bedroom I would try to find another room/space that could be my own private space.

If this is important to you, you should try to have conversation about it with your partner. Make sure they realise it hasn't got anything to do with there being a problem in the relationship, but instead is just a personal need you would have in any living situation.

I have heard of a few long time married couples that sleep in separate bedrooms due to snoring, temperature preferences, one person who likes to get up in the middle of the night w/o disturbing the other, mattress preferences, window open/closed preferences etc.. there are no rules that say married couples must share the same bedroom & bed. If it works better for some couples' relationship's and quality of sleep, I see no problem with having separate bedrooms. All of the couples that I've heard of doing this say they have a better marriage because of it, because it's what works for them.. vs. irritating each other and ruining each other's ability to get restful sleep.

Your spouse probably would feel you don’t want him sexually any longer if you desire separate bedrooms.

He would probably be sad about that.
