Sleeping in separate beds .

With a 5 month old now. My partner started sleeping in separate rooms we actually started this while I was pregnant simply because the comfort of bed and the 100 times I had to get up an pee would wake him however Long story short we are now co parenting. During my post-partum journey I felt upset that he wasn't active enough in the night wake ups which carry over to the day to day needs of our child for example dipper changes ( I literally had to ask him to change the diaper cause then he would just give me the baby and say he needs to change like it was only my job). Not saying this is your journey just giving 2 cents from mine.
We still sleep separately my los sleep is bad so partner does a shift then I do we still have a sexual relationship and tbh I’m used to not being near the snoring now
I don't remember a time my parents ever slept in the same bed unless we were on vacation. I'm sure they would have been divorced if they stayed sleeping in the same bed. They both snore and my dad has restless legs and kicks in his sleep. Me and my husband on occasion sleep separately, but mainly when his Cpap is causing issues (like a huge pimple on his face or when he bit his inner lip, and it was where his Cpap mask sits) His snoring is so loud, and when one of us is sick we sleep apart. Sometimes when pregnant I would fall asleep on the couch, and he wouldn't want to wake me up so he would just cover me. Sometimes ots good for a relationship, others grow apart when not sleeping together. Do what is best for you and your relationship
Sometimes it's easier to sleep in separate rooms. I did with my husband for a while because the kids used to stay in the bed with me. He likes to stay up and play the game and it aggravates me because he is so loud. So whenever he is down he just goes to sleep on the couch. He likes the couch
We cuddle in bed for a little bit then he usually sleeps on the sofa. I think separate sleeping is way better and I'm guessing that the baby will only make that more true.
Been together 6 years. Together we have 5 kids (2 are mine from a previous relationship) and we quite happily sleep separately. Most nights 1 or 2 of the kids wake up and end up in our bed. So partner is on the couch or spare room 😂. It’s actually more common than you think 😊
We’ve been together 17 years & sleep seperately everytime we’re ill or particularly tired (so the last 18 months? 😅) and definitely did throughout much of the first year of our sons life. We got more sleep as one wasn’t waking up to the other getting out of bed. ☺️
We've slept apart for a few months now as I'm cosleeping and my baby is quite big and mobile at a year old. It's not forever!
Yes, we prefer to be in the same room though, so we’ve been in the living room since I was about 7 months pregnant and couldn’t sleep in bed anymore. I took the couch (by choice) and he slept in our oversized recliner…… We brought baby home, slept in the bed for about a week…… Now we’re all in living room again, except I’m in the recliner and he’s on the couch …. I don’t know how it got to this point, but it works for us — I’m not worried about it, nothing about pregnancy or having an infant is normal……
My partner and I sleep in the same room we have a almost 4 month old and we did the night time together but now I do the night time bits but he’s next to me I hate the idea of him not being with me 😂
My fiance and I enjoy sleeping separately. We don't do it often or as often as he would like, lol, but it's so nice for us. It may not be for everyone, though. He snores a lot, I like the fan a certain way, and we sometimes go to bed at different times. He sleeps better, and we wake up happier. You two will get back to your normal sleeping arrangements. It just may take some time. I hope you all the best!
