Hubby and I were married 45 years in July. We have always slept together unless he had to be out of town or some other reason he or I wouldnt be home that night like when one of our kids was in the hospital or something like that. I can't hardly go to sleep unless I can feel him some where close to me. I tell him all time, I hope I die before him because I dont want to live without him plus, I would never get any sleep and I'm also scared to be alone at night. Hes always been with me and made me feel secure. He is a big guy and he makes me feel safe no matter whats going on. But if he needed to sleep in another bed he would probably have to lay down with me till I went to sleep and get up and go to his bed. lol. Now maggie sleeps with us but he and I are still touching each other if only our feet or a hand on the others butt (lol) or just touching. I snore too, but he doesnt much. He has to be up at 5:30 for work so he goes to bed without me and I stay up late and he gets up and goes to work and leaves me and maggie asleep unless I wake up when he kisses me bye. I am a very sound sleeper so I rarely know when he is up and If I am awake when he leaves i'm back to sleep before he gets to the garage to his truck and most times never even hear him close the back door and lock it. But I've known lots of couples that slept separately way before they were near our age and it didnt mean anything was wrong cause their still together. Sometimes its just hard for certain people to sleep for different reasons. So if you feel your marriage is strong, which it sounds like, dont worry about it. Just do what ya have to do to make each other happy and have a long life together. When you're alseep what difference does it make really as long as your asleep you shouldnt know whats going on, LOL <<<<<<<<<<< I DON"T. Hubby says I can sleep thru a tornado and I've slept thru storms lots of times and never know it stormed. Maggie takes after me, she dont get up with him either except on weekends. wonder how she knows the difference but she does.
Good luck to you in whatever you do and wishes for a long happy marriage. |
