So...DH wants to move back into the bedroom...

Almost 2 months ago, my DH started sleeping in our guest room. Our DD was waking up every 1-3 hours, and most nights I brought her back to bed with me. With him not there, I could have her sleep on his side and I could sleep on my side, and when she awoke, I could easily soothe her without either one of us being too disturbed. Plus the fact that my DH snores, I found it hard to get back to sleep listening to him.

We started Ferber a week ago, and DD has had a few good nights of either waking once for a short period or STTN.

So now DH wants to come back to our bed. Is it bad that I don't want him too? LOL. It's so nice to have the whole bed to myself, no fighting over space (because he takes up most of it), no fighting over blankets, no flyaway elbows, I don't have to listen to him snore...

So much for a good nights sleep...

Huh?

    What size bed do you have? Maybe you could get a bigger bed to help with space and such.. We got a King size bed not too long ago and its awesome!! 

    I personally would not have DH sleep in another room, but that's just me = )

    I completely understand. I need my own space too. We have a king size bed but I love to really spread out. I secretly like it when DH falls asleep on the couch watching tv and I get the whoooole thing to myself.

    Unfortunately, if we want to have any other furniture in our bedroom, Queen size is as big as we can go.

    It'll take some getting used to again, that's for sure!

    I could have written this post! DH works nights, get home around 3ish and goes to sleep around 6. DS is not STTN yet, so when he wakes to eat, he comes into bed with me. DH doesn't want to wake him, so he sleeps on the couch. I so love having the bed to myself!

    Wow. I can't imagine being married to someone where we didn't both want to share a bed with each other. Like, really a lot. To each their own I guess.

    I never sleep with my husband.  Ever.  To each their own.  Big Smile

    It's not that we don't want to. We felt we did what we had to do over the last 1.5 - 2 months for all of us to get the sleep we needed. We both knew that once DD was more consistently STTN, he would come back to our bed. And I'm not saying I don't want him there - of course I do. I love the cuddle time, and having him next to me.

    All I was saying was, it will be hard to get used to again after both of us having beds to ourselves for the past several weeks, and my hearing seems to be more acute these days, listening for every whimper or noise on the monitor, whether I'm awake or asleep.

    I think you may have taken my post a little too seriously, and didn't see it as humorously as I had intended.

    Haha, this post CRACKS me up.

    The OP is talking about sleeping in the same bed, not having sex. And I think you know that.

    Hahahahahahaha. Nice.

    As a wife of a snorer, I totally got the humor in your post and am totally sympathetic! I always sleep SO good when I'm traveling for work in hotels. The first 2 years of marriage I slept with the purple foam earplugs every single night, and I always go to bed before him because it's easier for me to stay asleep once he starts snoring rather than fall asleep initially if he's in there snoring.

    I'm sure it'll be an adjustment but you'll get used to it again! Good luck :)

    My friend and her husband sleep in separate rooms. He snores a ton, and she can sleep through it. So, she sleeps in the master and he in the guest room.

    I can't imagine doing it, but they both agree that they get a better nights sleep in their own beds.
