Been doing this since the pandemic. And no, it's not a dead bedroom situation, not by a longshot. We just have wildly different circadian rhythms, sleeping habits, we both snore, all of which was leading to consistently interrupted sleep for both of us. This was the only compromise that didn't impact anyone's health. Sharing a bed all the time is romantic, but hardly practical in the long run. Especially when prostatitis and peri-menopause enter the picture.

It's also been a godsend when anyone gets sick. Plus, a ton of decorating options opened up for both of us - it's nice.

Also: the royals do this. With all the wealth the Windsors have, giving everyone their own private suite was where they landed. Makes you think.
