My hubby prefers to sleep on the couch
Most people assume that a couple got in a fight if one of them goes to the couch. That is not the case with us. My husband snores sometimes, but hasn't been lately, but when he was, he would go to the couch so he wouldn't bother me. Now he claims he is used to the couch, and falls asleep faster there than on our bed, which is queen-sized. Also, he insists on putting the ceiling fan on when it's not even hot, and I don't like it, so he sleeps on the couch with an electric fan blowing on him. I was just wondering, is this healthy and normal? Am I the only one whose spouse does this? I worry about him wrecking his back sleeping on a narrow couch, and wrecking the couch as well. What do you think? I don't think I do anything to bother him when he is sleeping with me, so what can it be?

Oddly enough, there are hundreds, if not thousands of individuals who are like your husband. I don't think it's odd, and if it actually aids in his sleeping, then that makes it all the less odd. As for you, have you told him that you would prefer he sleeps with you. Tell him that you know its easier for him to sleep the way he has been and that he has become accustomed to it, but it's very important to you that you be able to feel secure with his presence in the bed at night. Tell him how much you would really appreciate beign able to hold him and be held while the two of you sleep. Maybe that will make all the difference in the world. Good luck.

I have heard of couples sleeping in diffent rooms because of comfort and for a better nights sleep. So he is not weird. He is just sleeping better on the couch. I wouldn't nag him about his back though, he is an adult. If the couch was hurting his back, he wouldn't be sleeping on it. Although the couch isn't really made for sleeping on every night. If I was a guest, I really wouldn't want to sit on it if I knew it was used as a bed every evening.
If you really want him to come back to bed tell him you miss him sleeping next to you and ask him if he can start trying to get use to sleeping in the bed again. It can get lonely at night.

I Have slept on a couch purely out of sympathy for waking my wife when I go out at 5am in the morning fishing but any other time it has been doghouse.
Have you really sat down and got down to the nitty gritty as to why he prefers a couch to a queen sized bed,I would also be interested in his answer.
As for the electric fan blowing all night, i'll pass on that one

He probably can fall asleep faster on the couch-- it's made for superior comfort...lol if you want him in the bed with you (which is where he should be) then having a fan on,.. I think... is a small sacrifice. Some people are just plain hot natured... I'm like that. I keep the fan on sometimes in the winter...My husband doesn't like it.. but hey! thats why they make covers!!
P.S. As far as back problems go... it puts alot of strain on your spine to sleep on such a narrow couch--twisting and turning

Well, naturally this can be normal, such as he finds confront on something he is sued to sleeping on, like I slept on a futon since I was 4 years old and 2 months ago I bought a bed and I have a hard time sleeping on it. And as for the fan goes I sleep with my fan blowing on me on high during the winter. So no there is nothing wrong with your husband just he needs to be brought back to the bed and compromise if he snores try to live with it or he will never move from the couch.
