Have your own bed rules
In addition to having completely separate décor, we also have completely separate bedroom rules. My partner didn’t want any eating in the bed when we shared a bed, but enjoying a snack in bed while watching something on my laptop is one of my greatest pleasures. Now I have that back. I don’t want “outside clothes” in bed. Meaning, I don’t want the jeans my husband wore on a public park bench or bar stool in or on the bed. I used to snap at him when he’d forget this rule. Now, he can wear his dirty, outside clothes in his bed if he wants. That’s his problem.
