A woman’s bedroom confession has sparked debate on social media, despite being an increasingly popular trend.
Tianna Joellee revealed that she and her partner sleep in different bedrooms. The couple, who are 21 and 20, have been together since they were 17 and 16.
On social networks, she has shared a video of their bedrooms. Ms. Joellee was filled with white furniture and LED lights. Meanwhile, her boyfriend took a darker turn. Both had just a table, bed and clothes in their rooms.
“You live with your boyfriend, but you have separate bedrooms,” she wrote in the video.
“And they lived happily ever after.”
But the clip caused a fierce debate.
“People need to know that this is NORMAL! I haven’t shared a bed in about two years! It’s a struggle when we go on vacation, – said one.
Another said: “Never could relate imma need my man with me.”
“I’ve been with my partner for nine years and we have separate bedrooms. He’s a very light sleeper and I have restless legs syndrome. Sleeping separately has saved our relationship,” said one.
Another commented: “I used to think this was weird but now I see why and think it’s a great idea.”
“I like this, but not because I’m crazy and think he’s going to take pictures of girls acting like he lives alone,” one said.
Another commented: “I could never sleep better knowing he’s by my side.”
“This is so healthy and I wish more people understood this,” said one.
It’s not the first time a couple has gone viral over their sleeping arrangements.
Melbourne woman Chantel Billy revealed she and her partner also have separate bedrooms, saying they would meet in her partner’s room, have a cup of tea and watch an episode of TV. Afterwards, their paths diverge.
Again, some called it healthy. Others suggested there was something wrong with him.
Mrs. Billy said it just lets them both get a good night’s sleep.
“Having my own bedroom for the first time since childhood has been such a fuel for my creativity and I feel like I can fully embrace my aesthetic without having to consider my partner. I think it’s very healthy to have your own space,” she told news.com.au at the time.
“I was so shocked that many people accused my relationship of lack of love. These people have absolutely no idea what my relationship is like.â€
Last year Chloe Szepanowski announced that she and her fiance Mitch Orval sleep in separate rooms. The couple have two children. Arti and Sunny often end up in the couple’s bed. So Mr. Orval ends up on the couch.
“We trick the family and the kids and if there’s any time at night we’ll watch something or give each other a massage, take a bath, freshen up,” she said during an Instagram Q&A.
“And then other nights we want to watch our own shows or do our own thing.
“It’s a wild ride, but we do it together at the end of the day. It becomes almost a mutual understanding and we take what we take.”
Social media users have had a strong reaction.
“This relationship is doomed,” one even remarked.
“If this is your relationship at 24, I’d be worried. Get those kids out of your bed and into theirs — before it’s too late,” suggested another.
However, many defended the move, telling the new couple to “do what’s right for you”.
Sleep divorce is a growing trend. The main reason for this is loss of sleep. Tamara Green, a couples therapist in New York, told TODAY.com that the move has improved couples’ love lives.
“They get enough rest and feel like they’re able to listen to each other and get their needs met,” she said.
However, it’s important to schedule time together before bed, she said.
Not everyone agreed. Dr Carol Ash, a sleep expert, said it is “healthier” for couples to sleep together. She said it improves sleep quality.
