    maybe because one of them fart too much....hahahaha.

    or snore

    or burp

    or wants to read while the other wants to sleep

    or wants to make too much love

    or maybe the opposite and the other feels neglected

    or maybe because they get tired of bumping into each other during the night.......

    or sometimes he does not want her to see a hole on his socks

    or maybe because he feels hot and she feels cold

    maybe because they had a fight

    or maybe because they love each other so dearly that they never want to have a fight and they split apart to break the routine of sharing the same bed...

    as you can see, dear one, so many reasons........

    this is not something you whould worry about.

    There are couples who even live in different houses and are so very happy.

    Others in different countries, cities and yet love each other more than the first day they met.

    Each couple has to find their own formula to be happy and what the world thinks of them should not be a problem as long as they are together and happy.

    Good luck.

    My parents never slept in the same bed. I'm 20, and I can't recall a single memory of them even sharing a room.

    There are several reasons for this. In my parents case, but it could explain others.

    First, being, my parents had 8 children. My Mom slept in a second room with the youngest kids so that when they would wake her up in the middle of the night, they wouldn't wake up my dad. That way, he could get enough sleep to function at work the following day.

    Also, my dad has alot of medical problems which have developed over the years. He has sleep apnea, uses an oxygen machine while he sleeps, and is constantly rolling around (restless sleeper). So.. if you have a partner who is a restless sleeper, tosses, kicks, turns, talks, snores, or something to the like, perhaps it's easier for the couple to stay in seperate rooms at night.

    There are always things like different work schedules, or just being use to sleeping alone. It's hard for some people to share a bed. They are using to tossing, rolling over, sleeping diagnol, hogging the blankets... and they prefer it that way. They just get a better nights sleep.

    This doesn't necessarily have a strain on the marriage. I mean.. my parents had 8 children. They still loved each other very much and found the time to.. show each other.

    If they wanted advise, they would be asking, not you. This arrangement works out fine for them. When they want to change it, they will. I'm not being mean, but, my advise is accept them for who they are (if you are a REAL friend) and mind your own business. Concentrate on your own family instead. EDIT: Are you really a 'friend' or are you the wife, the husband, the girlfriend or the boyfriend. If you're the wife or husband, get counseling in order to decide whether you want your marriage and want it better. If you're the boyfriend or girlfriend, do the right thing and stay away from the marriage so they can work it out. You're only being used so they can avoid their issues. On the other hand, you could also be lied to about the other spouse having a lover and you are just convenient and non-threatening. Get some self-respect and leave.

    My husband and I haven't for about two years now. But we just sleep in different rooms, there's nothing wrong otherwise. I am a light sleeper, and our bedroom together is on a side of our house where I can always hear barking dogs. And he snores like crazy, and flails around in his sleep.

    So a couple of years ago when we fixed up our spare bedroom I would use the excuse that I wanted to watch tv in there, but would fall asleep and he'd leave me alone. I got used to it, and just sleep there now. Everything else is normal, and we are not old! I love having the bed to myself, plus I like the tv on and he doesn't. It works out great!

    My husband and I have been happily married for 10 years this December, and we have had our own space for the past 4 years, I think that being that we do not sleep in the same room has been for the best, he slept just fine when we shared a room, it was the fact that he snored and wined that drove me NUTS!!!!

    well that is simple. some married couples don't sleep in the same room because one might snore or maybe talk in there sleep. it could be the work different hrs so they sleep different times. if they have a small bed and have kids that could be it to.and Yes my hubby and I sleep in different beds.

    My mom and dad didn't sleep in the same room, and I think it's healthy to have some space. People who are completely into getting as much pleasure and clingy feelings as possible won't be able to understand that, though.

    Sometimes it's a comfort issue. Sometimes it's a case of the couple can't stand each other. It seems like when people have bad sex lives, they'll sleep separately, not wanting to try to make it better.

    We do. Occasionally I have to sleep on the couch because of my back but then he sleeps on the couch with me. I don't think the majority of it is because they are apart. Sometimes we get so busy our head sleeps where it hits. Others can't sleep because they are light sleepers and snore so loud they would never get sleep. There are a majority of reasons. Sometimes they don't feel like they have to be so clingy. As your relationship gets longer you realize that you have someone at your side but they don't always have to be right at your side.

    sometimes my husband and i don't sleep in the same room because we have a big house and several rooms and each bed is a little different. i sometimes like to try different beds for fun or if we had fight, i move to another room till we reconcile. i think it's healthy though.
