Turns out someone WAS sleeping in my dad’s bed…

    The punchline logic is full of bear fertilizer. Many happily married couples have different sleeping habits and needs, the only sensible solution is separate beds and even bedrooms.

      Yes, but unfortunately this particular bear couple is having marital issues 😔

        Yeah, but it makes it sound like one thing goes hand-in-hand with the other.

          I think every time I’ve heard about it it has been because there’s been issues in the marriage.

            Drag and drag’s dragon like to sleep in the same bed about half the time. We’re very happy with each other and we want to get married. Sleeping together is sometimes fun and sometimes annoying. Having two beds is just good sense.

                No, it’s caused by both of us being light sleepers with autism. We don’t have to accept every heteropatriarchal stereotype, like “you have to sleep in the same bed” in order to be happy. We’re capable of inventing our own path to happiness.

          I agree. If there was no link in the mind of the author, why would Mama Bear answer this to Baby Bear’s question?

          It would not surprise me if married couples who sleep in separate beds report, on average, less satisfaction with their marriages than those who share a bed…

          but any data on that, I’m didn’t check very hard.

          Also - glad folks pointed out separate sleeping arrangements can be entirely natural/beneficial.

          People with insomnia would strongly disagree with you 🙂

          You don’t know other people’s lives or challenges, people are a lot more unique than you may think. Maybe try considering there might be other perspectives because people live different lives than you do.

      Papa bear’s bed was very hard, Mama bear’s bed was very soft. They might just have incompatible mattress needs.

      Honestly, I do snore like a bear, and this is why we have a “bail out bed” in another room. Even I use it sometimes when she’s snoring. Like last night, for instance.

        The “Bail out Bed” was a flawed idea because no one wants to get up and relocate in the middle of the night and interrupt their sleep cycles.

        He snores, he always snores, tonight won’t be any different, so why don’t I just start in the bail out bed so once I fall asleep I stay asleep and the human freight train I shacked up with doesn’t wake me up.

        He finally got a Cpap last year for his obstructive sleep apnoea.

        but we’d slept in separate beds for 5 years, and I was used to sleeping alone and having full control over my temperature and I’m a fidgety sleeper, so we couldn’t get used to sharing a bed again.

        I think both of us being well rested and refreshed each day is more important to the health of our relationship than sharing a bed. If we’re not fatigued, headachey and cranky, we can spend quality time together outside of bed.

    There was a time when you weren’t allowed to show a bed for two on TV in the USA.

      O shit was that one joke at the beginning of wandavisiom when they were in the early sitcom and pushed the beds together?

      Even for married couples. The Dick Van Dyke show was one example. Twin beds in the bedroom, separated by a nightstand.

      When Mary Tyler Moore got her own show, they aired it before the Dick Van Dyke show, so no one would think they had gotten divorced.

    hussy

    My brain has been so badly poisoned by the internet that I initially failed to read that as the actual word.

    • @DillyDaily

      Wait, what’s the internet definition of the word?

      I thought hussy was a synonym for “loose woman”

      What does it mean now days?

      Edit: oh, it’s not that hussy has a different definition on the internet, it’s that it looks like “bussy” if you’re not looking closely?

      Which I never read correctly anyway because I see it written like that and in my head I’m saying “bah see” not “buo see”

    Two beds = Happier, plus you get more choices about whose bed to have sex in, and can have more compartmentalized and meaningful quality time together. Better control over distance and needs.
