Today, I got disappointed when I realized that I had to share a bed with my husband because we had company over. FML

Aren't you supposed to share a bed with him? I thought that was one of the reasons to get married.

Why is it totally on the husband? Maybe she's the one with issues.

My uncle was married for over 20 years and he never shared a bed with his wife. a lot of people are not keen on that. I'm like that too. especially because I'm a very light sleeper, I would never be able to sleep if I slept next to someone.

I'm just interested in a follow-up for this one since this is open ended and could mean a bunch of things, as previous comments have already said. I really hope that the person who wrote this will write a follow-up.

one of them probably snores, my parents don't sleep together because my mom snores loud and dad can't sleep

There doesn't have to be anything wrong just because you don't share a bed! Maybe one is a light sleeper, or snores. Or they need very different temperatures/mattresses to sleep comfortably, or one is a morning person and the other is a night owl. A crappy nights sleep can literary ruin your whole day, so the adult thing to do is to do what you can so you'll sleep well. If you constantly get, say, woken up by your husbands snoring or him climbing into bed late and waking you, you would just start to resent him for it. With separate rooms/beds, both are well rested and happy. Just because you love somebody doesn't mean you have to spend every minute with him/her, sometimes you need some space to get away from them to prevent your spouse's presence from just becoming "background noise" and take them for granted. That whole "you never miss it until it's gone".

Well, you sound pleasant to live with.

If you're having problems sharing a bed, there may be a few issues going on.

My husband is 6'4 with RLS who likes to sleep sideways, I feel your pain

I'm sorry I'm confused, are you not supposed to share a bed with the person you're married to?
