Do you share a bedroom with someone?

What’s your bedroom situation? Do you share a bedroom with someone else, or do you have your own room?

If you share a room, what do you like or dislike about sharing it?

If you have your own room, what do you like or dislike about having a bedroom to yourself?

I think I share a bedroom with someone. Not entirely sure. I respect the person’s privacy too much to look into the situation.

I share a bedroom with my SO. I also, however, keep my clothes in the closets and dressers of another bedroom (which I call “my bedroom”). Life is complicated.

With my spouse. And before that I lived at home and shared with my sister. I’ve never had my own room. :frowning:

Share bedroom, but both of us have our own offices which are our “rooms.” I’d be sorta bummed if I didn’t have at least one spot in the house that was ALL MINE, if only because I want to clutter and not have anyone on my back about it.

Share a bedroom except when he is snoring. Then he shares the couch with the dog. When I was growing up I had my own room. I kinda wish I did now, too. Not because of my husband or anything - it’d just be nice to have my own “space” I guess.

Does the dog count? She helps me save on heating.

Not only my own room, but my own whole apartment. I sleep in someone else’s room a couple of times a week.

Hubster and I share the bedroom with the cat.

I currently live alone, but I generally try to have a bedroom to myself even when sharing accommodations. Not for my comfort, mainly, but for others–my snoring has been described in seismic terms, although I snore less now than I once did.

I think most people actually need this to some extent, and I have to wonder how much relationship stress arises from not having it. Not necessarily a bedroom, but an area that is yours alone, where you can go to get away from everyone. Too much togetherness can be toxic.

With my wife. Sometimes the dog and cat also sneak in.

I was recently in a dorm-type situation where I had to share a room with a bunch of other people. There were not enough beds in the snorer’s room, so they had to set up a second one – and I ended up having it to myself. :smiley:

Growing up, I shared a room with my two brothers. And I still do, when I’m at my house for the summer.

At college, I had a roommate my first year, but since then have had a private dorm.

I wish.

I have my own bedroom where I live.

I actually have trouble when I do have to share a bedroom with someone else (trips, etc.) I’m sometimes kept awake by others’ snoring, even though I do always wear earplugs when sleeping in a room with someone else. This may sound silly, but I can also be self-conscious about sleeping when there are other people in the room, because I tend to do some unpleasant things in my sleep - I snore myself sometimes, and I think I may also drool.

I have even more trouble when I actually have to share a bed with someone, because when I’m by myself, I like to have all of the blanket tucked around me.

I have my own bedroom - indeed, my own house.

I do share my bed with my dog, who jumps up as soon as she thinks I’m asleep…

She is less than 1/4 of my size and seems to think she needs most of the bed. :slight_smile:

I really should’ve put “I share a bedroom with my pet” as one of the options. :slight_smile:

I have 2 cats, but I don’t like to let them in my bedroom, because I’m afraid that they’ll get trapped in there with the door closed when I’m not around.

Yeah, pets should have been included. :smiley:

My cat’s actually pretty polite about how much of the bed she takes up, when she’s not in the windowsill or headboard.

Shared a bedroom with my brother growing up, then with my roommate for the first two years of college. We’ve since moved into an apartment with private bedrooms.

My bedroom is the living room, office, dining room, and my 8 year old daughter’s room. I don’t mind it at all.
