Married couples sleeping in seperate beds and sometimes seperate rooms

[FanIn80]

I don't understand what the big deal is. I've never had a problem sleeping in the same bed with someone's wife.

No dice so far. It's more amusing than a serious problem . . . except on vacation when there's no escape.

One of my friends, a male, has spent his entire marriage sleeping in a separate room from his wife because of his own chronic snoring. I went skiing with him one weekend and yeah, its horrible to be in the same room with him. They have two great kids though so they got together somewhere along the way!!!

Maybe she has sleep apnea? a few years back I started with some really bad snoring before being diagnose with sleep apnea. Ever since having a c-pap machine no more snoring. Of course she would have to get used to having a mask on but I didn't find it too difficult to get used to.

When my GF is nervous or anxious about something she has horrible sleeps, very active leg work and constantly cracking her knuckles.. while she sleeps. It drives me nuts, and wakes me up frequently. A few times we have slept in separate rooms, when I know I needed a good nights sleep. But I would say 350 out of 365 days a year we get a good nights sleep in the same bed.

AS long as you do it with the mask on so you can do the whole Bane thing.

I had tried everything under the sun for snoring, I have snored since I was 12 yrs old, I would snore lying on my stomach, face down crammed into a pillow. Nowadays, I would wake my wife up every night and she would give up and go downstairs to the spare bedroom, this would happen 6 out of 7 nights a week. Anyways I went to a respiratory technician, who make his living selling CPAP machines and got one of those. It has been 2 1/2 years since I've had it and the wife has only slept one night downstairs and that was when she was sick.
Anyways the "Respiratory Technician" seems kinda hokey but he had some sort of paper on his wall from SAIT. You get a little nasal thing to take home and it records your snoring, then he sends it off to a Dr who writes a prescripition diagnosing Sleep Apnea and your benefit plan pays for it. Snoring cured.


EDIT: And when the wife comes to bed and I'm laying there without the mask on, She knows whats up.

If she has to see if you are wearing a mask to know what's up...you may need another presciption...

I've got to be up at 5am and attentive at work so I'm not going to get up in the middle of the night. If she's the one that has a great job that makes more money than me then yeah I'd get up but that isn't likely and saying that's sexist is rubbish, it's just reality, and we won't both be working so the one not working will be getting up in the middle of the night.

See, I suspect this is the issue that people are taking with your stance.

I could be out to lunch though.

I wouldn't trade for a second. What she does is way harder than surfing CP all day.

Lol no kidding, I think the parent who works should have to get up in the night since they get far more rest than the parent who stays at home. I did lots of getting up at night even though at the time I was working and my wife stayed at home so that she could be rested enough to be able to get through the day.

Oh come on I think it was obvious by "working" I meant in a job that pays the bills. I never said that it wasn't hard work to be a stay at home parent.

We're totally spoiling this for you. the right way to find out about how effective these arguments isn't a bunch of guys on the internet. You need to use the "pay the bills" line and other "support the family" jargon in the heat of the moment to really grasp the situation.

"Dig up you idiot" is what you think to yourself trying to justify an innocent comment with the whole "you know what I meant about working honey..." angles.

You agree that it is hard work to stay home and raise kids.

So what logic are you using to determine that the one parent will be the sole one to wake up with the baby in the middle of the night?

[PsYcNeT]

It's also kind of a bizarre presumption that your unmet wife will assumedly earn so little money it would be preferential to have her stay home all day.

Oh puckluck2 you'll get up in the middle of the night to deal with a crying kid. If not I don't think you'll have to worry about a crying kid for too long as the mother and child will have moved out.

But the worst part is you'd miss out on some of the most memorable times you can ever have with your daughter/son. Yeah I went to work tired numerous times (heck the kids are 7 and 5 and I still do!) but the smile on my wifes face because she actually had a good nights sleep and the memory of giving your child a snuggle while you got them back to sleep or comforted them makes it more than worth it. It's really too bad you are going to miss out on that.

That, or the tent you've erected under the covers.
