"I am neater than my wife. I like my side of the room to be very orderly, with no clothes on the floor or bureau. She is less interested in that."
"My wife needs white noise (loud white noise) in order to sleep. This bums me out. I have to hear the drone of the air conditioner (on fan setting -- she's not that wasteful) even during the winter. She also has to have the door closed a certain way. In fact, every environmental condition in the room has to be to her specifications, not mine. And that bums me out."
"We're on different sleep schedules most of the time. Often I like to go to bed first, and there's always the anxiety that if I fall asleep, I'll just end up awake when she finally comes into the room and gets into bed. On the flip side, occasionally, I like to read in bed for a while. But I can't do that if my wife wants to sleep."
"As far as actually sleeping goes, sure, it's nice to feel my wife next to me. But more often than not, she's hogging the covers and blasting out body heat. (Did I mention that we like very different types of bedding?)"
"I am a morning person. My wife is not."
"In our house these days, most sex does not occur at bedtime. We're simply too old and tired. Things tend to happen in the morning (after i've been up for a while), or during a weekend afternoon "nap" (which, by the way, I love taking with my wife). So that's not really an issue."
