If you cannot afford separate master bedrooms in your house may I suggest co-sleeping and bed-hopping with your children as a suitable substitute for retaining this kind of ‘novelty’ feeling with your partner?

Warning: potential TMI
I love my husband in all his nudie glory and he me. Sometimes the only time we get to talk together is when we are in the bathroom. We put in a double shower so we could shower together and talk in the mornings. We have been married for 15 years. My parents were married for 30 years and always shared a bedroom and bathroom, my in-laws used to walk around the house nude until their sons got big enough to bring girls home and they are still married 40 (ish?) years on. Horses for courses I think. I’m more interested in MyNigel’s personalilty than the package it comes in. He is still the same man I fell in love with at 21 even though we both look different now.
Same with us! We’re putting in a double shower too, so glad to hear it works well. I find the more time my partner and I spend in bed together the closer we feel to eachother. I think a lot of it is the smell of eachother!
Hey I love the double shower idea. gonna look into that! I cosleep with our son but actually after nearly 4 years I’m starting to miss my husband…I don’t miss his snoring though. I think we all go through different phases, now were looking to get the little one his own bed with a trundle for me to visit on, and another trundle under the master bed so he can visit us. Sharing a bed is a strong bonding influence and I don’t think it should be underestimated, I also don’t think it should be reserved only for ‘mum and dad’. I think the whole family should share in different ways as suits at different stages.
I think it’s weird how they say “Fun and sexiness and love dissolves over time if you have to give up personal privacy.” I don’t necessarily equate love only with fun and sexiness…it seems to me that love also relates to thinks like familiarity and comfort and closeness. Not that you can’t have familiarity if you have separate bedrooms, obviously. It just seems odd to relate love so closely to fun and sexiness, without recognizing that there are other parts of love too…maybe parts that have to do with finding it endearing the way the dimple in your partner’s butt dimples while he’s doing his naked flossing, you know?
Whoa, didn’t see that coming. It’s a great idea because sometimes I can’t stand sleeping next to my husband!
My biggest pet peeve about the myth of co sleeping is that people think my husband and I aren’t afforded to alone time. We regularly have alone time, just not in the bedroom (for sleeping). The saying goes, “co sleepers do it in the kitchen.” 😉
