My Partner And I Sleep In Separate Rooms And It Saved Our Relationship
- By

No resentment over a bad night’s sleep
If I slept really badly, I resented my partner all day long. I struggle to fall back asleep once awake, so there would be nights when the sound of my partner coughing in his sleep would wake me up and then I’d be up for hours. The entire next day we lived under a cloud of my anger—I was exhausted and I felt it was all his fault. Now, if something does wake me—like construction or a dog barking outside—it wasn’t my partner. I’m not mad at him. We can be mad, together, at the construction.
