becarefull buddy

though we do need more data on this

but this wife sounds like she is falling for some one else

and her poor husband may believe that she is the honest little good girl because she is so sexually cold with him

CindyCares agony aunt I agree with the anon poster, it does not necessarily suggests or implies anything. I know tons of married people who don't share a bed, including my very happily married parents ( dad snored incredibly loud ! )

It's not a particularly " sensitive " information, why ? Not sleeping in the same bed does not mean you don't "sleep" together ( hehe )- it just means you have a spacious home and you love your comfort.

Obviously it depends from the context :

- Melancholic ,wistful face. Deep sigh : you know... my husband and I are not so close anymore.... we don't even share the same bed anymore... -yeah,probably hinting.

- casual, conversational : I am such a poor sleeper, I can't share a room even with my husband...- not hinting.

Did she say why? If there was a legitimate reason and she told you the reason, then I don't think it's such a big deal. A lot of married people do not sleep in the same bed. Doesn't mean there is trouble in their relationship or that they are looking elsewhere for affection. You can take it as a hint if you have a big ego. But it might have just been a statement with no other motives involved. The last answer saying she needs a counselor is a little over the top.

followtheblackrabbit agony auntShe's communicating loneliness to you and also, "availability." I'm sorry if this sounds cynical but when someone "shares" such intimate information, it's usually for one of two reasons. So my answer here would be yes, she is trying to tell you something...and it spells trouble. If she is your friend, kindly but firmly tell her you don't feel comfortable having her share such sensitive information with you and if she continues anyway, avoid her. If she just wants someone to talk to about this, it still shouldn't be you. It should be a counselor.
