My boyfriend and I have separate bedrooms. I’ve always had trouble sleeping and having another person in the bed only makes it worse on particularly restless nights. And we both feel that having separate spaces will keep us from feeling that we’re being intruded upon and thus resenting each other.
We don’t spend every night alone, it probably breaks even. And it kind of adds a bit of high-schooly, sneaking around excitement. Its a good thing :)

My last boyfiend dumped me because I have sleep apnea. Seriously. That was all he could come up with. And because he was a jerk, of course. But even with a situation like that aside, I like the idea. I was an only child. I’d want my own room (and a pony. NOW!!!).

Makes perfect sense to me. The “upper class” has had separate “ladies chambers” throughout history, why should now be any different. I have my own bathroom, and there are times, believe me, when my own bedroom suite sounds like a really nice idea.

I’m with Caleb. Most people who can afford to build a home can find plans they like. The reason people have homes custom-designed is because they want special features not normally available. Such as two master bedrooms. Therefore, its a self-selecting group.

I don’t think that is all that high because it says “custom homes”, most homes are not custom. so the overall percentage is really a lot lower than that.

Separate bedrooms and bathrooms here too. He snores and I move around too much. Also, I wake up at 4am and he sleeps until 9-10.

We have separate bedrooms -separate closets, sepatate beds, separate bathrooms, separate “space” – it works.

Maybe they’re requesting an additional master bedroom for a reason besides keeping the husband and wife apart at night. I can think of a couple: an elderly parent will live with them or they will use the second one as a really nice guest room.

I think houses are just getting bigger, period.

really? REALLY! I think that seems a little high. I know one couple that sleeps separately. I use ear plugs…. even when I sleep alone.

The spouse and I have slept separately for years. Works much better that way in terms of gettiing actual sleep and as a result our relationship is more peaceful.
