A very recent thing- because of knee pain I toss and turn so much- and as we had to Queen Size bed in one of the very large bedrooms en-suite with a bathroom- we have decided a few months ago it was a good idea to move to that room. I'd hate to sleep in a separate bedroom- but having our own bed is great.

Hello everyone, DH and I are in our 60s, married 35 years and we are sleeping in separate rooms. My insomnia was the original reason, but once that was resolved we decided we sleep better anyway and prefer it.

I have however encountered negative reactions from friends staying with us for weekends, to the extent that now I feel uncomfortable when I invite people. Mostly our visitors are friends of long duration who know us well, but who still seem to think that we are on the road to marriage breakdown, or we are in some way odd.

I must admit I have become a bit embarrassed and keep a low profile about it. We were even discussing whether to move in together next weekend when some new visitors arrive to avoid the comments, but we dont really want to.

I would be really interested in views from other Gransnetters about whether this is unusual? do you sleep in separate rooms? and if so do you get adverse comments and how do you deal with them?
