Queen Elizabeth and Philip were undoubtedly happy together, but it's been reported that they actually slept in separate beds throughout their marriage.
Alot of couples do this due to sleep/work schedules, snoring, sleep fighting, blanket hogging, light sleepers, tempreture and humidity preferences, and just so each can have their own space. 😅 Its perfectly normal for the couples who can afford it, and you can still enjoy "sleepovers." The only reason its not as common for the working class is not everyone can afford that extra bedroom.
This goes back during the time of kings that had a queen and many concubines! The queen had her own quarters and rarely allowed in the kings chambers for a reason!
Absolutely 100%. If we could afford to have seperate bedrooms, I would have done so right from the beginning of our marriage as my husband has restless legs. You could still spend all evening in one room but when you actually wanted to go to sleep, go to your own room and get a good night's sleep
Laying here next to a sleeping and loudly snoring husband right now and I have to say, that the time I slept in our extra bedroom when I was severely sick, I got the best sleep I’m had in years lol. Also please remember folks, when you have a queen sized bed your supposed to buy KING SIZED BLANKETS. It helps prevent blanket hogging. ; )
My wife & I have always had our own individual blankets. That solves the blanket stealing/hogging for us & we just recently celebrated 27 years of marriage at the beginning of May.

My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have been sleeping in separate rooms for 10. He snored like a freight train, and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. He got a sleep machine, but because he is a mouth breather, air would escape and sounded just as loud. Sleeping apart saved my health and sanity.
".. it is important to remember that the Queen personal life was often kept private and was a personal decision that should be respected" Says the guy who made a video about it.
We are not Royal... but my parents had their own bed rooms and slept in different rooms for 40 years. They are best friends and married for 40 years... I also have different room with my husband. It's just natural for us to do so... Sometimes privacy is needed. As both me and my husband are INTJ personalities and insomnia and very busy with work as we both are quite successful in our career... ., We only can recharge our energy in solitude. We have 6 bed rooms in our city penthouse and 12 bed rooms in our country home. There, I have a bedroom, a closet room and a private living room. My husband has his own bedroom and study room. When our parents come to our home for vacation, we give them separate rooms too... but when we go visit them or travel, we shared room. Its short term so it's fine... but really I prefer my own room though. Can sleep better. We are very happy to find each other and have same value that respect our own private rest. I hate cringy sticky needy people. Broke up with my ex boyfriend because of that. LOL
My husband has a sleep disorder associated with PTSD and I was actually injured during one of his nightmares. I also have sleep apnea as well as chrinic insomnia. We have had separate rooms for several years.
Yeah, I have PTSD, narcolepsy, chronic sleep paralysis, AND sleep apnoea. Sleeping with me is apparently terrifying. 😢 I don’t mean it, though! I just want to be rid of this curse! One guy that I dated was really good at noticing the signs that I would go into just before an episode, and knowing how to wake me up before them. He still had some terrifying nights where he said I woke up screaming, and immediately sat up with my eyes wide open, staring at nothing. He said it made his blood run cold. I feel for you and your husband…and everyone suffering from their demons. Help each other. PTSD is best cured when loved ones help, and you help them in turn. I locked people out of my problems for years, and I’ve recently had a really big breakthrough just from finally sharing some of the stuff I went through with my stepmother. It brought me closer to her, and to my therapist, who I think finally really understood some of what I was going through for the first time. Stay strong. You and your husband will get there. The memories will always remain, but the symptoms of ptsd don’t have to last forever. And at the very least, some of them can go away, or get better.
I honestly believe that if we all could afford to have separate bedrooms AND bathrooms, the divorce rates around the world would be a lot, lot smaller….
@thalmoragent9344 Affairs already happen with couples sleeping together, has nothing to do with sleeping arrangements, and everything to do with the people. Cheaters gunna cheat regardless.
My aunt and uncle shared a bedroom and slept in it. However during the day. She had a den and a side room as a guest room and would also use the bathroom across the hall when doing her hair and such. They remained best friends and lovers for the entirety of their marriage ❤🎉. One of the best examples of how easy love can really be ❤❤❤😊
Exactly! They didn't just have a bedroom each, they lived in a huge house with their own apartments and share when they choose. Marriage would last forever if we all had this option lol
We also started doing this. No upper class. Sleep deprivation causing so many symptoms including memory loss. Finally separate bedroom and getting back life. Both seems to be able to function throughout the day because of this. Not happy about the separation but that’s the only way to take care of us and our kids.
I see nothing wrong sleeping in separate bedrooms. Decorate it the way you like, get the whole closet, don't have to listen to snoring. Yep, that's the way to go & a whole bathroom of your own, cause if I am having my own room, I want my own bathroom too. Just saying!!
Sleeping in separate rooms is more common than people know. It could be because of snoring, moving around, different room temperature, or health reasons. For not talking about sleeping separate it can feel embarrassed because it's different. A benefit besides better sleeping is making romantic dates to get together. ❤❤
In Pakistan my grandma sleep with my auntie's and my grandpa sleeps alone and my uncle's sleep alone but with my parents we sleep in one room me with my father and my brother with my mom
Having seperate bedrooms or even houses is better than living in the same house and see each other's short comings all the time. It actually keeps the love fresh. If its up to me, I would live in seperate houses, and keep the relationship great, like going around forever.
Def not interested in watching my husband cut his toenails or me do that around him. I have been married twice and if I do it a third time I will be a lot smarter. Separate houses!
I have never been Married but I imagine that separate bedrooms gives you the freedom of having private time. If your feeling frisky you can always have a date night. I know people are going to say oh but the point of marriage is togetherness, if you had a partner who snores like a freight train and you are serious eying the pillow, separate rooms are a blessing.
Dunno. My late parents actually slept better when they snored and/or farted on each other. I've never been married but when i was in love I'd like waking up spooning the lady.
I often sleep separately from my husband.....he snores like a heard of wounded rhinos. A wife deprived of sleep does not make for a happy marriage....plus i like my space when in bed...no spooning here!
True, a person who snores very loudly or rolls around needs a separate bedroom so that the partner can get a good night's sleep. Many times I chose to sleep on the recliner or couch to get some sleep.
The biggest regret of a friend of mine was sleeping separately from his wife because she snores, his wife has already passed away now. He regretted not spending his nights with her, he told me he should’ve spent every moment with her especially the nights regardless if she snores.. A lesson from somebody else I will be sure to take not of.
We aren’t upper class but my husband and I have always had separate bedrooms. Our children, in their 40s have married and all have separate bedrooms to their spouses. No divorce and all have happy marriages (and loads of kids), because everyone gets a good nights sleep
I worked with a guy who was Prince Philips private driver for 20 years. Most of his private trips were to his longtime mistress. All the Royal staff knew & it was widely thought the Queen knew, but "kept him on a long leash". As a formerly penniless ex Greek Royal, he knew which side his bread was buttered, so he was discreet.
Oh, WOW. In away I'm not surprised. My late grandmother used to actually comment in the same way as well she had told me that in the times of her own youth which coincided with Queen Elizabeth's time is a teenager and young mother she had told me that she had vaguely remembered that there was some talk or some discussion about Pr. P having some sort of a little side piece. When I asked her how come nobody really has heard of it and she basically said that people of a certain era knew how to keep discretion a little bit better than they do nowadays.
I don’t know, but as I was growing up, I used to see a lot of couples that were together, and you didn’t know what was going on in the bedrooms and I don’t know how many of my friends could tell you and say how they have all these brothers and sisters that don’t belong to their mother but yet the mother stood married to this man so I don’t know if it was in their error that it was OK and it was acceptedI know a lot of people have a lot of brothers and sisters from their mom so that they had separate rooms and that he had little flings. Hey, I guess at that time it was accepted and if you happy that way, and your marriages happy then who are we to judge?
I had my iwn room for years when i was narried. I loved it because my husband snored like as loud freight train rolling down the tracks!!! . It was horrible. It took me 3 yrs of lousy sleeping conditions to make that decision and it was the best decision I ever made. He could hog up his own bed and i didn't wake up in a tiny ball , freezing all scrunched up in the corner of the bed with earplugs in my ears trying to get some peace and quiet . I also had repeated ear infections from those ear plugs so when we wanted to hook up we did but sleep time would be separate. Caused much better moods thats for sure.
I snore, but my husband said he would never sleep in another bed and never has. I can only think it can't be that bad. If we are apart for any other reason, it's strange to be without him. Even when I've been ill and have suggested he sleep in another room because of my sneezing and snuffling he has always refused. Maybe, for us, that's why we've weathered 45 years! It's very obviously what suits each couple.
@@dulciemidwinter1925 After my husband has his first heart attack and tossed and turned and nearly knocked me out of bed I moved. I had to rest to get to work. Whatever works for a couple.
Yes, we've slept in separate bedrooms for years - happily married for 49 years. We have to share on holidays and it's good to get back home to separate bedrooms.
@@lu3366 Not really. Noble couples always have separate bedrooms. However, they spend time in one bedroom if they are madly in love. Usually, the man goes to the bedroom of the woman.
My grandparents on my fathers side did the same. Their house was huge and there was a long hallway. On one side was my grandfathers bedroom and on the other my grandmothers. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and shower. As kids when we visited we were expected to come out of our rooms bathed and fully dressed for breakfast. When I spent a summer with my grandparents on the other side I didn’t understand why they didn’t do the same lol.
My husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms. I'm a light sleeper and have insomnia. He talks in his sleep and has to have the television on. We tried to change before our marriage, but it's been much nicer the past ten years after remodeling the spare bedroom into his. I even know a couple who have been married for 40+ years and have separate homes! They live nextdoor to each other.
Thank you, I'm a light sleeper, my hubby has these nasty jerseys that starle me! Good night and don't let the bed bugs bite! oh, gosh, I just wonder, did the castles had 'bed bugs'?
Lots of married folks sleep in separate bedrooms. It's one of the reasons we've been married for 30+ years. It's a lot more common than people realize.
My parents slept in separate rooms next to each other the last 20yrs of their marriage because of my Dad's snoring!😂 They were married for 70yrs & loved each other until the day my Mom was killed in a terrible car crash! 😢🥰
One pair of my grandparents also slept in different rooms throughout their marriage due to tradition. The fact they did so did not mean that they loved each other any less. They still had 5 children, 17 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren together. They were very close throughout their lives. When my grandmother passed away not long ago, my grandfather fell into a grief that I doubt he will ever come back from.
Honestly, if I had a big enough house, I would also have my own room. Even if you're married, you still need your own space, with your own stuff, and so on. Doesn't mean there's no love or intimacy there. Also, as people grow older and get health problems, it's more comfortable for them to sleep alone. I know a lot of elderly couples who do so. You spend most of the time with the other person, it's good to have some privacy, even from your spouse.
Even rural couple here (Java, Indonesia) have separate bedroom especially when they raise babies or infants since little kids always sleep with their dad or mom.
My husband and I have been married for 26 years, very happily I’ll add. We have separate bedrooms than adjoin through a sitting room. It is a personal decision and does not mean a couple does not love one another or are unhappy. We have two amazing grown children who have no issue with it. We explained our reasons when they asked. It’s the poor dog who doesn’t know which bed to sleep in 😂! Wee dear goes back and forth for a half hour before deciding.
It’s interesting to me that people think sleeping in separate bedrooms is so unusual. My husband and I would keep each other awake - he needed a lot of blankets but I would get too hot, he would wake in the middle of the night and turn the TV on but when it woke me up, I was up for the rest of the night, I have restless legs that would wake him often. So we had separate beds on different floors. We were happily married but not compatible for good sleep. When he became very ill and we were both concerned about his needs at night, I moved back down with him in case he needed something. We switched to a king size bed with separate mattresses and bedding but the TV remained a problem. His best friend was so relieved when I moved back downstairs because he thought we had been estranged all that time. Not in the least, we had simply learned that we both needed to be more protective of our own sleep. I can think of numerous reasons why they might have had separate rooms and it is not always some form of estrangement. Her days started very early and the children often went to him with problems.
I already knew. I've been married over 30 years and only shared for the first year or so. I'd be dead by now if I hadn't got away from his snoring (or be in prison for murder). He either kept me awake and totally prevented me from falling asleep or on the rare occasion I fell asleep first, he'd wake me up as soon as he fell asleep. Horrendous noise. Even if there was a miracle / instant cure for snoring now, I wouldn't go back. I like my own space and apart from that he'd wake me up anyway getting up really early / playing music etc.....just too annoying.
Omg. I like the part you said you would be in prison now, for the snoring. I also have the same problem. Most times I get so upset with that snoring. With my husband. I just pray for him. 🇿🇦😊👌
@@HappyFjord-jw9em No he refused to go and see if anything could be done many years ago, which is why I removed myself from the situation. His dad lived to 87 as a snorer and only "died" at that age because he was knocked down and killed by a speeding driver. My husband actually had a heart bypass many years ago but still snored...I've known of many people snoring with no health issues....some people just do.
@@amandadavies.. ...sorry to hear that he refused help. I "see" that a heart surgery dud not stop the snoring. Good to know. I have a love one that uses a small deviced to control the snoring. God Bless you🙂
I prefer to sleep alone. I’m a light sleeper & I don’t need snoring to affect my relationship. Also I need to sleep in what most consider “way too cold”.
Yes. I'm married and my husband sleeps in another room. I'm a crazy sleeper and sometimes hit people in my sleep so yeah haha. Need the whole bed to myself.
Because he'd come back home at 3 or 4 am, from a night out in restaurants or at 5am back from " The Thursday Club"and would smell of cigarettes and alcohol. Of course she didn't want to be woken up by him in the first place. She also stayed up in bed and read the government papers on other occasions, when she fell behind. She did read everything, although she didn't need to; her signature would have been sufficient. They had very different lives. He trod two steps behind her, always knowing his place but his big mouth got him into trouble, we all know that. For many years he didn't even stay in the same building. They were together for the government appointments, only. She was amazing as she put up with this set up for decades. He was sometimes very crude to her and would belittle her, which was very sad. Showing off his intellect was his way of dominating this marriage where she was more important than he was. But she loved him very much and would settle for the scraps. I feel very sorry for her now as i felt when Jacqueline Kennedy visited the Buckingham Palace and later criticised our Queen's dress, hair and the building too.😮 That was so rude of her!! After all, JK had no class, she proved it with that shallow comment. 😊
My hubby and I have been married nearly 60 years, and have had seperate bedrooms for over half the time. In the beginning it was for comfort after he broke his back. We decided we liked it for several reasons. We kind of liked the sneaking back and forth. There was a romantic element to it, and we started doing special things to entice each other. It became something to look forward too. There is nothing bad about it, it can atctually make it more enjoyable. We do not have a door shut between the rooms, because we are always willing and waiting. Try it, it may add so much fun for your time together. We both highly recommend it, and would never stop doing it for ourselves. We feel it has kept the romance in our long marriage.
My parents always had separate bedrooms as a kid and I never realized how uncommon it was until I would go ever friends’ houses and see that their parents have the same room lol
I had a older family member who I used to stay with sometimes as a kid, I noticed The woman and her husband NEVER slept together or even shared a room! Fast forward to 2011 the husband dies, and then the family finds out that He cheated on his wife in the 80’s and contracted HIV so they never even been intimate for over 20 years and she NEVER spoke about it until he passed!
Traditionally they slept in separate bedrooms because the men had mistresses. And, when the ladies were pregnant, during the final months, the women went into confinement (lived alone). This was to keep all the unattractive parts away from the public and the husband. In QEIi's case, P hilip was angry with her because she wouldn't make him king (consort). So, he spent a lot of time in Germany, where he had a second family. At one point, when he returned, the newspapers declared, "P rice Philip visits England!!" True story.
I believe in separate bedrooms, but also have a conjugal bedroom too! There are times when people sleep apart due to flu, noisy snoring, tossing & turning, and so on. It's healthy and you get a blissful sleep after the love making.❤❤❤
Having separate bedrooms and even separate bathrooms sounds just amazing. If one can afford it, why not. There’s plenty of time for togetherness, it doesn’t have to be at the cost of a good night’s sleep
Scum bag logic! The majority of people lay in comfort with the one they love for 50 plus years. Filth from your generation could never achieve that and will always be lonely.
Definitely, I've been with my for 43 yrs he used to travel for work 4 times a year for a month at a time so I pretty much had 4 honeymoon's a year; I hated the TV in my room even with the sound down so we stopped sleeping together 17 year's ago
My parents slept in seperate bedrooms, my husband and I slept in seperate bedrooms because my husband had to get up at 4 am in the morning, and be at work at 6 am. Whereas, I worked the afternoon shift. Therefore, I made certain that I took my two daughters to school, and our neighbor or my parents would puck them up from school. When, my husbsnd got off from work, hd would pick up our two children from from either my neighbors or my parents house, feed them, made sure that they had there baths, and honework was done. When I arrived at home, do a couple of laundry. Make there lunches, and do a quick house cleaning. Thank goodness. For carpet sweepers. They are a blessing to have
It is much better to have your own room. You sleep better and are well rested. You have your private space. And it keeps that romantic stage in a marriage alive.
Funny, I sleep so much more soundly, and restfuly, next to my HEA. We'll be celebrating our 26th anniversary in May. I was hospitalized for 9 days back in 2021. He barely slept more than 10 minutes a day while I was gone. We do make other space for ourselves. But the bedroom is "our" space. And it definitely keeps that "spark" alive as well.
I really wish we had separate bedrooms! My husband works on shifts so often we sleep not only separate, but he often sleeps during day time, sometimes has migraines and goes to bed, goes to bed early becouse he 's getting up at 4 a.m... and when he's awake he ends up playing his keyboard and the only room to fit that huge "monster" is bedroom! When covid hit and we and kids were at home: I was making phone calls and zoom meetings with teachers from the bathroom: I'd lock myself in and roll down the window screens and have this huge curtain behind me and turn on the lights, so it looked like I was in a normal room!😂
Totaly agree, but when i am sick e prefer have my own bed. I think everyone is the same the only difference are not everyone are privilege enough to have an extra bedroom.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I love knowing that you had a wonderful relationship with him. That is a blessing that I wish everyone could have. I hope you are doing well.
I know a couple (husband and wife) who have separate properties. It works for them and, I think, keeps their marriage fresh. They alternate spending time at their own and each other’s home. Great if you can afford such a luxury. I guess with royalty or the aristocracy they choose separate sleeping arrangements because it allows for a couple to enjoy a good night’s sleep, and the option for me-time.
Many of the nobility had seperate bedrooms even Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It's not unusual because most royal marriages were arranged over the centuries. Very few Royals actually slept in the same bedroom.
I want my own bedroom and bathroom when I get married. "When I grow and get married I am living alone! You hear me?! I am living alone! I am living alone!" --Home Alone
Did you know they slept in different bedrooms? The couple slept in different beds and they slept in different bedrooms. It is believed they slept in different beds. Maybe even in separate bedrooms.
I wish we would bring the custom back! Historically, couples went from separate bedrooms to separate beds in the 1950s, as owning a home was the American dream and space was limited and expensive. Similarly to having two sinks in the master bathroom became the trend, now the "upper classss" are returning to having separate bathrooms! (Heaven!!) So maybe we can turn back time and bring those old customs new again!
That is not just a custom of the King or Queen of England. Many couples share this custom of commoners. My husband and I slept in separate bedrooms because he had a heart condition and I didn't want yo bother my husband because I got up several times a night to use the bathroom.
I read in an article months ago that when Philip got together for his boys nights out he told his friends that when you marry a pure woman once they finally have marital relations they become insatiable. She wouldn't let him sleep. Hard to imagine that but we know you have to watch out for the quiet ones
Separate bedrooms are amazing! We've done it for most of our time together and struggle to sleep on the odd occasion we do need to share a bed. Friends jokingly call it European style (for whatever reason), but then secretly tell me they wish they did it too😅
My dad was shocked when he discovered my sister and her husband had separate bedrooms and asked me why. I said he'd need to ask her, not me. He asked her why I was "so thin". But never questioned me why she was obese. People really need to MTOB.
There is a reason why some couples do sleep separately. My husband and I did due to our work status, and we appreciate the idea of sleeping together on date nights...it kept us romantically together.😊
I think I’ve heard it said that tradition to sleep in separate rooms was so the queen or king didn’t disturb their spouse if an urgent matter needing the king/queens attention in the middle of the night.
They probably slept in bit different bedrooms just like me and my husband do now. He snores and I just wasn't getting any rest. A queen needs her beauty rest. ❤
Because they snore like crazy probably and found out that they have the luxury to accommodate to their own liking 😂 unlike us peasants who have to sleep with each other because we don’t have the space or money
My grandparents moved into separate bedrooms when i was about 19. I cried because I thought that meant they would divorce soon. My gma said nope.. he is tired of my snoring and I am tired of him getting up at 5 am. 😂❤
I think everyone should have their own room... Including married couples. Actually think about how weird it is to sleep in the same bed with someone. If you don't have the exact same sleeping habits..
Monarchs had separate bedrooms for centuries.. in part it was a safety issue.. should one be murdered or die of a contagious illness.. Also most monarchs didnt really love each other.. they slept together for procreation and that’s that.. otherwise they had their own rooms
It’s common to sleep even in separate rooms because it’s much more comfortable. The great houses always had adjourning doors. I think more and more people do this now.
They both probably slept better! My husband and I are on different sleeping shifts, and I can assure you, we both sleep better this way. His snoring doesn’t wake me up, and my nightmares don’t keep him up.
She threw him out after she found out he was sleeping with her cousin Alexandra, after Anne was born. That’s why Andrew is the spitting image of Porchester, and Edward is the love child of Patrick Plunkett. And how did those boys turn out? Well one used his birth to blackmail the Firm into giving him an insane allowance and forcing them to tolerate his debauched lifestyle while avoiding any real work for decades. The other declined titles for his children, and lived a decent life, and together with a devoted wife, did all he could to support his mother. You figure it out. And all of this is well known, ancient history.
I don't blame her one bit. Smart woman. No sense in them sharing a bed or even the same bedroom when they had all of those available bedrooms and all of that wealth.
Very normal for anyone living in such large houses. They didn't sleep separately because they don't like each other and would have shared a bed many times. Its because they live in such large houses they can have their own quarters, like a seperate apartment in your own home. Much nicer to have your own space and share when you want to. Also good for uninterrupted sleep if both are busy people.
This is fairly common. Especially amongst the royals. We will never know if the younger generation follows this tradition consistently but the living arrangements are designed / built for his and her bedrooms. As for Her Majesty, based on books, those separate bedrooms didn’t prevent any ‘marital activities’ together.
The reason they slept in second bedrooms, pretty sure this is a quote, is because they had different schedules. If one has to be up at 9am and the other up at 6am, they dont have the luxury of a lax enough schedule to catch up on sleep.
We got it the first time you didn’t have to say ‘they slept in different bedrooms’ like 10 times
For real 😭
LOL. 👍 I agree
Omg annoying 😂
My husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms because he snores and it saves me from smothering him while he’s sleeping!!

THIS is why she lived so long - peaceful nights. No snoring to wake her (or him).

@@hetty7891Not funny
Alot of couples do this due to sleep/work schedules, snoring, sleep fighting, blanket hogging, light sleepers, tempreture and humidity preferences, and just so each can have their own space. 😅 Its perfectly normal for the couples who can afford it, and you can still enjoy "sleepovers."
The only reason its not as common for the working class is not everyone can afford that extra bedroom.
Ohhh wow
That’s why my grandparents had separate bedrooms. And they stayed married for nearly 60 years and were still being intimate into their 70’s.
This goes back during the time of kings that had a queen and many concubines! The queen had her own quarters and rarely allowed in the kings chambers for a reason!
Absolutely 100%. If we could afford to have seperate bedrooms, I would have done so right from the beginning of our marriage as my husband has restless legs. You could still spend all evening in one room but when you actually wanted to go to sleep, go to your own room and get a good night's sleep
I would like to respectfully tell you that a lot is two words. I don't mean any disrespect.
Laying here next to a sleeping and loudly snoring husband right now and I have to say, that the time I slept in our extra bedroom when I was severely sick, I got the best sleep I’m had in years lol.
Also please remember folks, when you have a queen sized bed your supposed to buy KING SIZED BLANKETS. It helps prevent blanket hogging. ; )
My wife & I have always had our own individual blankets. That solves the blanket stealing/hogging for us & we just recently celebrated 27 years of marriage at the beginning of May.

My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have been sleeping in separate rooms for 10. He snored like a freight train, and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. He got a sleep machine, but because he is a mouth breather, air would escape and sounded just as loud. Sleeping apart saved my health and sanity.

Way to call out the total and complete hypocrisy--- and that he's totally and completely wrong.
We are not Royal... but my parents had their own bed rooms and slept in different rooms for 40 years. They are best friends and married for 40 years... I also have different room with my husband. It's just natural for us to do so...
Sometimes privacy is needed. As both me and my husband are INTJ personalities and insomnia and very busy with work as we both are quite successful in our career... ., We only can recharge our energy in solitude. We have 6 bed rooms in our city penthouse and 12 bed rooms in our country home. There, I have a bedroom, a closet room and a private living room. My husband has his own bedroom and study room.
When our parents come to our home for vacation, we give them separate rooms too... but when we go visit them or travel, we shared room. Its short term so it's fine... but really I prefer my own room though. Can sleep better. We are very happy to find each other and have same value that respect our own private rest. I hate cringy sticky needy people. Broke up with my ex boyfriend because of that. LOL
My husband has a sleep disorder associated with PTSD and I was actually injured during one of his nightmares. I also have sleep apnea as well as chrinic insomnia. We have had separate rooms for several years.
See Grey's Anatomy episode when Owen tried to strangle Cristina because of his PTSD.
Yeah, I have PTSD, narcolepsy, chronic sleep paralysis, AND sleep apnoea. Sleeping with me is apparently terrifying. 😢
I don’t mean it, though! I just want to be rid of this curse! One guy that I dated was really good at noticing the signs that I would go into just before an episode, and knowing how to wake me up before them. He still had some terrifying nights where he said I woke up screaming, and immediately sat up with my eyes wide open, staring at nothing. He said it made his blood run cold.
I feel for you and your husband…and everyone suffering from their demons. Help each other. PTSD is best cured when loved ones help, and you help them in turn. I locked people out of my problems for years, and I’ve recently had a really big breakthrough just from finally sharing some of the stuff I went through with my stepmother. It brought me closer to her, and to my therapist, who I think finally really understood some of what I was going through for the first time.
Stay strong. You and your husband will get there. The memories will always remain, but the symptoms of ptsd don’t have to last forever. And at the very least, some of them can go away, or get better.
I honestly believe that if we all could afford to have separate bedrooms AND bathrooms, the divorce rates around the world would be a lot, lot smaller….
Meh. Not much lower. Affairs would happen easier
@thalmoragent9344 Affairs already happen with couples sleeping together, has nothing to do with sleeping arrangements, and everything to do with the people. Cheaters gunna cheat regardless.
My aunt and uncle shared a bedroom and slept in it. However during the day. She had a den and a side room as a guest room and would also use the bathroom across the hall when doing her hair and such.
They remained best friends and lovers for the entirety of their marriage ❤🎉.
One of the best examples of how easy love can really be ❤❤❤😊
Because thé king must have affaires didn't youknow? William IS having an affair and have anilligitim daughter

Separate bedrooms were traditionally the norm. The only people who slept together were those who couldn't afford separate rooms.
Well they did 4 times !!
And it's none of our business.
I couldn't have said that better myself.
Exactly! They didn't just have a bedroom each, they lived in a huge house with their own apartments and share when they choose. Marriage would last forever if we all had this option lol
Correct. No one wants their maid to see their husband in their bed.
Waking up next to the person you most love in the world , is a gift .
I beg to differ 🤔
You reject tradition.
I’m content to see him at breakfast.
I would have to sleep in the stable 😊🐴!!!
And waking up one day next to their motionless body gawking straight into your eyes is a nightmare 😂 life will never be the same
We also started doing this. No upper class. Sleep deprivation causing so many symptoms including memory loss. Finally separate bedroom and getting back life. Both seems to be able to function throughout the day because of this. Not happy about the separation but that’s the only way to take care of us and our kids.
I see nothing wrong sleeping in separate bedrooms. Decorate it the way you like, get the whole closet, don't have to listen to snoring. Yep, that's the way to go & a whole bathroom of your own, cause if I am having my own room, I want my own bathroom too. Just saying!!
I don't like to share my bathroom with my husband and children. They will mess up my bathroom
Sleeping in separate rooms is more common than people know. It could be because of snoring, moving around, different room temperature, or health reasons. For not talking about sleeping separate it can feel embarrassed because it's different. A benefit besides better sleeping is making romantic dates to get together. ❤❤
True. Here in indonesia the mothers sleep usually with the kids in different rooms.
It's still for security reasons
Exactly!! That they sleep separately doesn't mean that the marriage is a failure. Not a big deal really.
In Pakistan my grandma sleep with my auntie's and my grandpa sleeps alone and my uncle's sleep alone but with my parents we sleep in one room me with my father and my brother with my mom
They obviously did - they had 4 children!
My grandparents slept in different beds, but in the same bedroom. And I’m Mexican.
same at my grandparents in Hungary
Having seperate bedrooms or even houses is better than living in the same house and see each other's short comings all the time. It actually keeps the love fresh. If its up to me, I would live in seperate houses, and keep the relationship great, like going around forever.
Def not interested in watching my husband cut his toenails or me do that around him. I have been married twice and if I do it a third time I will be a lot smarter. Separate houses!
I have never been Married but I imagine that separate bedrooms gives you the freedom of having private time. If your feeling frisky you can always have a date night. I know people are going to say oh but the point of marriage is togetherness, if you had a partner who snores like a freight train and you are serious eying the pillow, separate rooms are a blessing.
I have a lot of friends who sleep in separate bedrooms because of working different shifts, snoring,and health problems. It makes sense to me .
Dunno. My late parents actually slept better when they snored and/or farted on each other. I've never been married but when i was in love I'd like waking up spooning the lady.
I often sleep separately from my husband.....he snores like a heard of wounded rhinos. A wife deprived of sleep does not make for a happy marriage....plus i like my space when in bed...no spooning here!
True, a person who snores very loudly or rolls around needs a separate bedroom so that the partner can get a good night's sleep. Many times I chose to sleep on the recliner or couch to get some sleep.
The biggest regret of a friend of mine was sleeping separately from his wife because she snores, his wife has already passed away now. He regretted not spending his nights with her, he told me he should’ve spent every moment with her especially the nights regardless if she snores.. A lesson from somebody else I will be sure to take not of.
We aren’t upper class but my husband and I have always had separate bedrooms. Our children, in their 40s have married and all have separate bedrooms to their spouses. No divorce and all have happy marriages (and loads of kids), because everyone gets a good nights sleep
Very civilized and smart, especially if one spouse snores or is a bed hog.
Yep. It's a very good idea.
Amen!
I remember my grandparents having seperate rooms. I didn’t get it then but I now
La calidad de un matrimonio no está en dormir juntos diariamente. Las condiciones económicas son las que no le permiten a la mayoría poder hacerlo.
I worked with a guy who was Prince Philips private driver for 20 years. Most of his private trips were to his longtime mistress. All the Royal staff knew & it was widely thought the Queen knew, but "kept him on a long leash". As a formerly penniless ex Greek Royal, he knew which side his bread was buttered, so he was discreet.
Принц Филипп был красавчик !!!
Oh, WOW.
In away I'm not surprised. My late grandmother used to actually comment in the same way as well she had told me that in the times of her own youth which coincided with Queen Elizabeth's time is a teenager and young mother she had told me that she had vaguely remembered that there was some talk or some discussion about Pr. P having some sort of a little side piece.
When I asked her how come nobody really has heard of it and she basically said that people of a certain era knew how to keep discretion a little bit better than they do nowadays.
@@manuellubian5709 The aristocracy back then had a very relaxed view about infidelity, as long as it was discreet.
@@alexanderprives4509 English translation, please.
I don’t know, but as I was growing up, I used to see a lot of couples that were together, and you didn’t know what was going on in the bedrooms and I don’t know how many of my friends could tell you and say how they have all these brothers and sisters that don’t belong to their mother but yet the mother stood married to this man so I don’t know if it was in their error that it was OK and it was acceptedI know a lot of people have a lot of brothers and sisters from their mom so that they had separate rooms and that he had little flings. Hey, I guess at that time it was accepted and if you happy that way, and your marriages happy then who are we to judge?
I had my iwn room for years when i was narried. I loved it because my husband snored like as loud freight train rolling down the tracks!!! . It was horrible. It took me 3 yrs of lousy sleeping conditions to make that decision and it was the best decision I ever made. He could hog up his own bed and i didn't wake up in a tiny ball , freezing all scrunched up in the corner of the bed with earplugs in my ears trying to get some peace and quiet . I also had repeated ear infections from those ear plugs so when we wanted to hook up we did but sleep time would be separate. Caused much better moods thats for sure.
I snore. He tosses and turns. We are together 56 years because we sleep in separate bedrooms. A good night's sleep makes for happiness.
I snore, but my husband said he would never sleep in another bed and never has. I can only think it can't be that bad. If we are apart for any other reason, it's strange to be without him. Even when I've been ill and have suggested he sleep in another room because of my sneezing and snuffling he has always refused. Maybe, for us, that's why we've weathered 45 years! It's very obviously what suits each couple.
@@dulciemidwinter1925
After my husband has his first heart attack and tossed and turned and nearly knocked me out of bed I moved. I had to rest to get to work.
Whatever works for a couple.
Yes, we've slept in separate bedrooms for years - happily married for 49 years.
We have to share on holidays and it's good to get back home to separate bedrooms.
In old novels noble couples always have separate bedrooms. Even if they are madly in love.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
and in the middle or at the end of the novel they sometimes/always decide to move into one bedroom 🧺😍🥴
@@lu3366 Not really. Noble couples always have separate bedrooms. However, they spend time in one bedroom if they are madly in love. Usually, the man goes to the bedroom of the woman.
Ok Princess Nobody.....we will take your word for it. NOT!!!!!
It has to do with household staff. Inappropriate for ladies maid to assist in morning with gentleman in the bed and vice versa.
My grandparents on my fathers side did the same. Their house was huge and there was a long hallway. On one side was my grandfathers bedroom and on the other my grandmothers. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and shower. As kids when we visited we were expected to come out of our rooms bathed and fully dressed for breakfast. When I spent a summer with my grandparents on the other side I didn’t understand why they didn’t do the same lol.
My grandparents had separate bedrooms and they stayed married for nearly 60 years.
My husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms. I'm a light sleeper and have insomnia. He talks in his sleep and has to have the television on.
We tried to change before our marriage, but it's been much nicer the past ten years after remodeling the spare bedroom into his.
I even know a couple who have been married for 40+ years and have separate homes! They live nextdoor to each other.
Sounds like a good idea 😂
Very good ideas, both of them!
do they make schedules for making love?
Thank you, I'm a light sleeper, my hubby has these nasty jerseys that starle me! Good night and don't let the bed bugs bite! oh, gosh, I just wonder, did the castles had 'bed bugs'?
@@oscarandrews2095 Most likely. Probably fleas as well.
Lots of married folks sleep in separate bedrooms. It's one of the reasons we've been married for 30+ years. It's a lot more common than people realize.
Ohh how do you do? I cant imagine sleeping apart from my husband. Exactly in winter. My feet are always so cold I need to steal his warmth 😅
My parents slept in separate rooms next to each other the last 20yrs of their marriage because of my Dad's snoring!😂 They were married for 70yrs & loved each other until the day my Mom was killed in a terrible car crash! 😢🥰

Es lo Mejor de la vida! mi esposo no le gustaba dormir solo però con el Covide yo me fui al living solaa y sin ruidos ni sentir saltos en la cama.
😊
That's how they were able to stay married forever. Separate bedrooms is the only way to be married.
One pair of my grandparents also slept in different rooms throughout their marriage due to tradition.
The fact they did so did not mean that they loved each other any less. They still had 5 children, 17 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren together. They were very close throughout their lives. When my grandmother passed away not long ago, my grandfather fell into a grief that I doubt he will ever come back from.
Honestly, if I had a big enough house, I would also have my own room. Even if you're married, you still need your own space, with your own stuff, and so on. Doesn't mean there's no love or intimacy there. Also, as people grow older and get health problems, it's more comfortable for them to sleep alone. I know a lot of elderly couples who do so. You spend most of the time with the other person, it's good to have some privacy, even from your spouse.
100 % 😊
Hmm😊
Definitely 😴
Yes, me too... if someone turn in bed I wake up. I need total silence. Doesn't mean I don't love my man..
Especially women when they hit menopause age... arghhhhhhhhh.....
Most Royals sleep apart. In the 1800s most wealthy people had separate bedrooms.
Most people with many sleep alone why? because they can
Even rural couple here (Java, Indonesia) have separate bedroom especially when they raise babies or infants since little kids always sleep with their dad or mom.
It’s actually healthy to have separate rooms. I love running down the hallway for cuddles 🥰 on winter mornings
My husband and I have been married for 26 years, very happily I’ll add. We have separate bedrooms than adjoin through a sitting room. It is a personal decision and does not mean a couple does not love one another or are unhappy. We have two amazing grown children who have no issue with it. We explained our reasons when they asked. It’s the poor dog who doesn’t know which bed to sleep in 😂! Wee dear goes back and forth for a half hour before deciding.
That was the cutest comment😊
The queen had a very busy schedule, expected to keep several appointments each day and to be in good form. She needed a good night's rest every night.
I agree this is the reason and it never stopped them from having children.
Everyone deserves to have the privilege of having one's own room
It’s interesting to me that people think sleeping in separate bedrooms is so unusual. My husband and I would keep each other awake - he needed a lot of blankets but I would get too hot, he would wake in the middle of the night and turn the TV on but when it woke me up, I was up for the rest of the night, I have restless legs that would wake him often. So we had separate beds on different floors. We were happily married but not compatible for good sleep. When he became very ill and we were both concerned about his needs at night, I moved back down with him in case he needed something. We switched to a king size bed with separate mattresses and bedding but the TV remained a problem. His best friend was so relieved when I moved back downstairs because he thought we had been estranged all that time. Not in the least, we had simply learned that we both needed to be more protective of our own sleep. I can think of numerous reasons why they might have had separate rooms and it is not always some form of estrangement. Her days started very early and the children often went to him with problems.
In an ideal world we would all have enough room to have seperate bedrooms.
I already knew. I've been married over 30 years and only shared for the first year or so. I'd be dead by now if I hadn't got away from his snoring (or be in prison for murder). He either kept me awake and totally prevented me from falling asleep or on the rare occasion I fell asleep first, he'd wake me up as soon as he fell asleep. Horrendous noise. Even if there was a miracle / instant cure for snoring now, I wouldn't go back. I like my own space and apart from that he'd wake me up anyway getting up really early / playing music etc.....just too annoying.
Omg. I like the part you said you would be in prison now, for the snoring. I also have the same problem. Most times I get so upset with that snoring. With my husband. I just pray for him. 🇿🇦😊👌
There is a miracle cure. Its called a cpap machine. They work silently. But im pretty sure you dont care.
....modern medicine has been able to correct snoring, in some cases it is due to heart troubles. Hopefully your husband has got help.
@@HappyFjord-jw9em No he refused to go and see if anything could be done many years ago, which is why I removed myself from the situation. His dad lived to 87 as a snorer and only "died" at that age because he was knocked down and killed by a speeding driver. My husband actually had a heart bypass many years ago but still snored...I've known of many people snoring with no health issues....some people just do.
@@amandadavies.. ...sorry to hear that he refused help. I "see" that a heart surgery dud not stop the snoring. Good to know. I have a love one that uses a small deviced to control the snoring. God Bless you🙂
I prefer to sleep alone. I’m a light sleeper & I don’t need snoring to affect my relationship. Also I need to sleep in what most consider “way too cold”.
It's a lot easier to sleep when your not sweating like crazy.
Yes. I'm married and my husband sleeps in another room. I'm a crazy sleeper and sometimes hit people in my sleep so yeah haha. Need the whole bed to myself.
I can only sleep in a very cold room so my husband and I sleep in separate rooms
Because he'd come back home at 3 or 4 am, from a night out in restaurants or at 5am back from " The Thursday Club"and would smell of cigarettes and alcohol. Of course she didn't want to be woken up by him in the first place.
She also stayed up in bed and read the government papers on other occasions, when she fell behind.
She did read everything, although she didn't need to; her signature would have been sufficient.
They had very different lives. He trod two steps behind her, always knowing his place but his big mouth got him into trouble, we all know that.
For many years he didn't even stay in the same building.
They were together for the government appointments, only.
She was amazing as she put up with this set up for decades.
He was sometimes very crude to her and would belittle her, which was very sad.
Showing off his intellect was his way of dominating this marriage where she was more important than he was.
But she loved him very much and would settle for the scraps.
I feel very sorry for her now as i felt when Jacqueline Kennedy visited the Buckingham Palace and later criticised our Queen's dress, hair and the building too.😮
That was so rude of her!!
After all, JK had no class, she proved it with that shallow comment. 😊
Prince Phillip had nights out?
My hubby and I have been married nearly 60 years, and have had seperate bedrooms for over half the time. In the beginning it was for comfort after he broke his back. We decided we liked it for several reasons. We kind of liked the sneaking back and forth. There was a romantic element to it, and we started doing special things to entice each other. It became something to look forward too. There is nothing bad about it, it can atctually make it more enjoyable. We do not have a door shut between the rooms, because we are always willing and waiting. Try it, it may add so much fun for your time together. We both highly recommend it, and would never stop doing it for ourselves. We feel it has kept the romance in our long marriage.
Also they had different schedules. You don't need waking one up and at the same time accidently waking the other, if they don't need to be.
My parents always had separate bedrooms as a kid and I never realized how uncommon it was until I would go ever friends’ houses and see that their parents have the same room lol
I had a older family member who I used to stay with sometimes as a kid, I noticed The woman and her husband NEVER slept together or even shared a room! Fast forward to 2011 the husband dies, and then the family finds out that He cheated on his wife in the 80’s and contracted HIV so they never even been intimate for over 20 years and she NEVER spoke about it until he passed!

Traditionally they slept in separate bedrooms because the men had mistresses. And, when the ladies were pregnant, during the final months, the women went into confinement (lived alone). This was to keep all the unattractive parts away from the public and the husband. In QEIi's case, P hilip was angry with her because she wouldn't make him king (consort). So, he spent a lot of time in Germany, where he had a second family. At one point, when he returned, the newspapers declared, "P rice Philip visits England!!" True story.
Yeah right! 😂
I believe in separate bedrooms, but also have a conjugal bedroom too! There are times when people sleep apart due to flu, noisy snoring, tossing & turning, and so on. It's healthy and you get a blissful sleep after the love making.❤❤❤
I don't share a bedroom with my husband either. So what? We both sleep much better...
Me too 😂😂😅
Same here. Its the only way that we can get a decent night's sleep
Having separate bedrooms and even separate bathrooms sounds just amazing. If one can afford it, why not. There’s plenty of time for togetherness, it doesn’t have to be at the cost of a good night’s sleep
Scum bag logic! The majority of people lay in comfort with the one they love for 50 plus years. Filth from your generation could never achieve that and will always be lonely.
Definitely, I've been with my for 43 yrs he used to travel for work 4 times a year for a month at a time so I pretty much had 4 honeymoon's a year; I hated the TV in my room even with the sound down so we stopped sleeping together 17 year's ago
My parents slept in seperate bedrooms, my husband and I slept in seperate bedrooms because my husband had to get up at 4 am in the morning, and be at work at 6 am. Whereas, I worked the afternoon shift. Therefore, I made certain that I took my two daughters to school, and our neighbor or my parents would puck them up from school. When, my husbsnd got off from work, hd would pick up our two children from from either my neighbors or my parents house, feed them, made sure that they had there baths, and honework was done. When I arrived at home, do a couple of laundry. Make there lunches, and do a quick house cleaning. Thank goodness. For carpet sweepers. They are a blessing to have
I believe in that too
Some people love their privacy. I think that should be respected also.
Their bedrooms would have an adjoining door which they will have used frequently.
Old Phillip would have thrown his old leg 3-5 times a week, occasionally with the Queen too 😂
It is much better to have your own room. You sleep better and are well rested. You have your private space. And it keeps that romantic stage in a marriage alive.
😢r🎉
Funny, I sleep so much more soundly, and restfuly, next to my HEA. We'll be celebrating our 26th anniversary in May. I was hospitalized for 9 days back in 2021. He barely slept more than 10 minutes a day while I was gone. We do make other space for ourselves. But the bedroom is "our" space. And it definitely keeps that "spark" alive as well.
@L Ward I agree
I really wish we had separate bedrooms! My husband works on shifts so often we sleep not only separate, but he often sleeps during day time, sometimes has migraines and goes to bed, goes to bed early becouse he 's getting up at 4 a.m... and when he's awake he ends up playing his keyboard and the only room to fit that huge "monster" is bedroom! When covid hit and we and kids were at home: I was making phone calls and zoom meetings with teachers from the bathroom: I'd lock myself in and roll down the window screens and have this huge curtain behind me and turn on the lights, so it looked like I was in a normal room!😂

Hello Sophie
Totaly agree, but when i am sick e prefer have my own bed.
I think everyone is the same the only difference are not everyone are privilege enough to have an extra bedroom.
Agree
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I love knowing that you had a wonderful relationship with him. That is a blessing that I wish everyone could have. I hope you are doing well.
You seem to be one of the few normal people in this chat
It is very common to have your own room in a large home.These rooms are decorated to the taste of each person and most often have connecting doors.
I know a couple (husband and wife) who have separate properties. It works for them and, I think, keeps their marriage fresh. They alternate spending time at their own and each other’s home. Great if you can afford such a luxury. I guess with royalty or the aristocracy they choose separate sleeping arrangements because it allows for a couple to enjoy a good night’s sleep, and the option for me-time.
Many of the nobility had seperate bedrooms even Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It's not unusual because most royal marriages were arranged over the centuries. Very few Royals actually slept in the same bedroom.
I want my own bedroom and bathroom when I get married. "When I grow and get married I am living alone! You hear me?! I am living alone! I am living alone!" --Home Alone
I believe it was beautiful that they did share their bed to make each child 😊
Did you know they slept in different bedrooms? The couple slept in different beds and they slept in different bedrooms. It is believed they slept in different beds. Maybe even in separate bedrooms.
I wish we would bring the custom back! Historically, couples went from separate bedrooms to separate beds in the 1950s, as owning a home was the American dream and space was limited and expensive. Similarly to having two sinks in the master bathroom became the trend, now the "upper classss" are returning to having separate bathrooms! (Heaven!!)
So maybe we can turn back time and bring those old customs new again!
Separate bedrooms would be perfect ❣️
That is not just a custom of the King or Queen of England. Many couples share this custom of commoners. My husband and I slept in separate bedrooms because he had a heart condition and I didn't want yo bother my husband because I got up several times a night to use the bathroom.
'to'
I read in an article months ago that when Philip got together for his boys nights out he told his friends that when you marry a pure woman once they finally have marital relations they become insatiable. She wouldn't let him sleep. Hard to imagine that but we know you have to watch out for the quiet ones
Separate bedrooms are amazing! We've done it for most of our time together and struggle to sleep on the odd occasion we do need to share a bed. Friends jokingly call it European style (for whatever reason), but then secretly tell me they wish they did it too😅
My dad was shocked when he discovered my sister and her husband had separate bedrooms and asked me why. I said he'd need to ask her, not me. He asked her why I was "so thin". But never questioned me why she was obese. People really need to MTOB.
There is a reason why some couples do sleep separately. My husband and I did due to our work status, and we appreciate the idea of sleeping together on date nights...it kept us romantically together.😊
U sound Silly Willy 😂😂😂😂😂 Nilly
How to tell four times the exact same thing Just to end it with: but It’s none of your business, duuuh 😂😂😂😂
This is very common in Africa. My parents had separate bedrooms. It wasn’t uncommon in our area too.
Houses were bigger then too.
I think I’ve heard it said that tradition to sleep in separate rooms was so the queen or king didn’t disturb their spouse if an urgent matter needing the king/queens attention in the middle of the night.
They probably slept in bit different bedrooms just like me and my husband do now.
He snores and I just wasn't getting any rest.
A queen needs her beauty rest. ❤
Because they snore like crazy probably and found out that they have the luxury to accommodate to their own liking 😂 unlike us peasants who have to sleep with each other because we don’t have the space or money

It's such a Luxury to have your own bedroom!!!
My grandparents moved into separate bedrooms when i was about 19. I cried because I thought that meant they would divorce soon. My gma said nope.. he is tired of my snoring and I am tired of him getting up at 5 am. 😂❤
THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE FOR EVERY MARRIAGE
If the Queen’s personal life was to be kept private, why are you telling us 10 times in the course of a minute…
My husband and I cannot sleep well without being in the same bed👍...even if just our feet are touching...we are at peace❤️
We’ve had separate bedrooms for most of our 43 year marriage. It’s not about class; it’s about comfort 🙄
I think everyone should have their own room... Including married couples. Actually think about how weird it is to sleep in the same bed with someone. If you don't have the exact same sleeping habits..
Why get married then??? Having a child is a million times harder than sharing a bed with someone
Monarchs had separate bedrooms for centuries.. in part it was a safety issue.. should one be murdered or die of a contagious illness.. Also most monarchs didnt really love each other.. they slept together for procreation and that’s that.. otherwise they had their own rooms
It’s common to sleep even in separate rooms because it’s much more comfortable. The great houses always had adjourning doors. I think more and more people do this now.
They both probably slept better! My husband and I are on different sleeping shifts, and I can assure you, we both sleep better this way. His snoring doesn’t wake me up, and my nightmares don’t keep him up.
For the sake of privacy and always rekindled love lust and affection for one another The distance and time lapse matters
Because the queen should rest well during the night ! That is the reason
Of corse!
R.I.P Queen Elizabeth ii 🏴
She threw him out after she found out he was sleeping with her cousin Alexandra, after Anne was born. That’s why Andrew is the spitting image of Porchester, and Edward is the love child of Patrick Plunkett. And how did those boys turn out? Well one used his birth to blackmail the Firm into giving him an insane allowance and forcing them to tolerate his debauched lifestyle while avoiding any real work for decades. The other declined titles for his children, and lived a decent life, and together with a devoted wife, did all he could to support his mother. You figure it out. And all of this is well known, ancient history.
My son and his partner live in separate houses got a 12 year old son been together 14 years ❤
for practical reasons , i.e. due to different engagement schedules
That probably helped them be married for so long
I don't blame her one bit. Smart woman. No sense in them sharing a bed or even the same bedroom when they had all of those available bedrooms and all of that wealth.
Very normal for anyone living in such large houses. They didn't sleep separately because they don't like each other and would have shared a bed many times. Its because they live in such large houses they can have their own quarters, like a seperate apartment in your own home. Much nicer to have your own space and share when you want to. Also good for uninterrupted sleep if both are busy people.
There was a connecting door
Good for them
If I was the queen I would’ve done the opposite😏
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is fairly common.
Especially amongst the royals. We will never know if the younger generation follows this tradition consistently but the living arrangements are designed / built for his and her bedrooms.
As for Her Majesty, based on books, those separate bedrooms didn’t prevent any ‘marital activities’ together.
It’s because they each probably had affairs
Do you know it's a known "FACT" that each student has their own desk in each classroom. We all NEED our personal 'SPACE' at times for our own sanity.
