Ask Dr. Helen: Is Sleeping Apart Healthy for Marriage?
I’ve been married to my present wife for 13 years, having lost my first love tragically.
I snore like a lumberjack, or so I’m told by my wonderful wife. My first wife often complained about my snoring too. Present wife says I actually slow the rotation of the ceiling fan on the intake. LOL
I’ve told her I would gladly sleep in another room or the sofa but she won’t hear of it. She just gives me a light punch in the side and I’ll usually turn over and stop for awhile.
I never feel it and sleep like the proverbial ‘dead person’.
There is no greater pleasure in my life than waking early, turning toward my soundly sleeping wife, and just watching her for a bit. I can only imagine what a tortuous night she might have gone through just sleeping with me.
