Dadaal Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It is an open question for married people, who goes to bed first the husband or the wife? IS there any timing? Link to post Share on other sites
bab Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 We almost always go to bed together. We have the following convo: "Let's go to bed" "Okay, I've got to do XXX for the next XXX minutes" "Fine" (stomps off to surf the web until the other can join them" Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Six of one, half a dozen of the other. I still work. She's retired. Oftentimes we go to bed together. Link to post Share on other sites

whichwayisup Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It all depends on how tired we are. Some nights he goes to bed first and sometimes I do. If I'm not tired, I will play around online or watch TV until I get tired...It's not really fair of me to jump into bed, put on the TV set while he's trying to sleep. Interesting question....Where's it leading to? Link to post Share on other sites
mockeryjones Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 i'm an insomniac, my wife is not. she generally goes to bed a few hours before I even begin to feel tired. Link to post Share on other sites
hotgurl Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 1/2 the time I go to bed first & 1/2 the time we go to bed together. he very rarely goes to bed before me. It only happens when I am out dancing or he has had too much to drink. Link to post Share on other sites
StayClose Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have to get up at 4:45 am to go to work. She is self-employed & sets her own hours. During the week, we never go to bed at the same time. In weekends, we occasionally do, although I often start to nod off by 11 pm or so. Link to post Share on other sites
Jane22067 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 H is virtually always looking for sex. I really want to limit it to 3 times a week (about). One tactic I have is not to go bed until he is asleep. It is easier than saying no three or four times a week I don't work and nap everyday, so staying up late is not an issue Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Do you give him a weekly ration card and punch it for him when he gets some so you don't go over your limit? Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 We always went to bed together. Whether we both stayed in bed afterwards was another matter... Link to post Share on other sites
boshemia Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I tend to be a night owl, and he has to be to work early so usually we went to bed together, and if I couldn't sleep I got up after he fell asleep. Because of the problems I had last year with my health etc. I ended up sleeping on the couch a lot because I didn't want to keep him awake. Now that we are working on the back together issue, and he is not working due to a knee injury we go to bed at the same time when we are together. It's nice going to bed together again... but I'm sure once we are in the same house again I'll go back to my night owl ways a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Interesting question....Where's it leading to? I agree. What's the real question? Mr. Lucky Link to post Share on other sites
dropdeadlegs Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm not married but spend 3 nights a week with my SO (usually.) Generally, we go to bed at the same time. About 50% of the time I get up after he is asleep. I just don't require as much sleep as he does. He's an 8 hour guy, I get by on 5-6. But I don't want to miss out on the sexual aspect. Even if it doesn't always take place. Link to post Share on other sites
Jane22067 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 A punch card would be unproductive--it is best to keep him uncertain about how much he is going to get Link to post Share on other sites
