Who gets the bed?

I would get the bed, of course, no if, ands or buts! Hee hee. Honestly, I wouldn't care . . . I'm the type that sleeps anywhere - I could sleep on a rock - hee hee!! For me, I guess it depends on the situation - how the break up was. If it was a tactful break up, I might let the other have the bed if he wanted it - not an issue. But if the other was an entire jerk about the break up, I'd certainly hog up all the comforts - mine mine mine!!

I have a question too. You can't move out but what about him? If he has financial problems too you will live together for a period of time. Then you can get another bed or indeed continue to share the only one you have. And maybe there is some hope for your relationship?

Okay, this one is easy for me. I get up the earliest, stay up the latest, and so I will be the one on the sofa. I like the freedom to run all over the house once everyone else is asleep. I also sleep well in recliners. Snoring hubby can go sleep in the bedroom with the door shut, and I will raid the fridge and watch movies and be online to my heart's content.

I don't have a partner, but I reckon it depended on who bought it. If I did, it'd be my bed, if he bought it, I'd let him have it. I would never have a joint account (no matter how much I love my pretend partner), so it wouldn't be a problem of both of us buying it cause that'd never happen.

Dawny, whether it is my fault or not. There is no way i will give up my bed. He can get the floor. the dogs will have the couch then. TATA. PS: I have ahlzeimers, i cannot sleep anywhere else than in my bed.

Hi Dawnald!. Personally I have not married so I haven't live with someone except my family. I think if this situation happen to me, its will be me who had the bed because I never slip in couch in entire my life. If he can not take it he can go were he want.

Hi Dawn, I was in that situation with my ex. I was the one that wanted out and I was having trouble finding a place that I could afford with the kids. I felt that since I was the one breaking it off even though I felt that I had legitimate reasons, that it should be me that moved out of the bedroom. I did...I slept on the couch. it was, after all, his place and he could of demanded that I leave. I lived that way for nearly a year and it got really ugly. He messed with my income tax which would have given me the cash to leave and at the same time made life so miserable for me and the girls that it was unbearable. So I think the one leaving is the "guest" so to speak and should sleep on the couch or wherever. I also think the one leaving should do whatever possible to move things along because living under those conditions is very stressful. I really used to feel sick to my stomach being in that house. I hope you have signed up for every housing help available to you and that you find a place really soon!

hi DAWN oh thats easy the one with health problems and also is female, so yes gender decides it, the one who does want the break up. see that old devil can not get me as I am all for us women, we must stick up for each other. lol. I am sure a modern couch is not all that uncomfortable after all.

Hi Dawn, I get the bed all the time. I love to sleep on the bed as the couch cramps me a lot. Plus it makes me look less important. I must get the bed because the bed tells me that I am meant for it. My weight is just so perfect for it to carry. it makes me feel so good to see the other person heading for the couch- RELUCTANTLY. This is the best preliminary defence that I could prepare at the beginning of the trial and let me go out for a smoke to get some other brilliant ideas

I would say that the female would get the bed. The reason that I say this is because it is the female that possibly went through the nine months of carrying children that were created earlier in the marriage and that means that they have already gone through months and possibly years of being uncomfortable when they were trying to sleep. In addition to that, a female needs to have her beauty rest and you can't get that on a couch.

Oh, but is so simple. The couch belong to the one is guilty for starting the figth that lead to break. I mean the original original starter, not the one starting the last episode in which the break come as ultimate solution. And arguing about who started is - hopefully - long enough to make both understand is better togheter than sepparate. My (last) 2 cents. ps:

I think the one who wants out would get the couch. If everything continued on, then both will still be on the bed. The other person who does not want to break up will naturally be living as if everything were still as is. And that means still being on the bed. I'm sure that because of my response the devil will still get me.

I will assume that respect will still be there even after the break up so I say the woman gets the bed , whether or not she is the big earner or not. Now when its the woman who dumped the man, of course she does not expect to be treated with tenderness as bitterness will surely finds its way in every possible chance that the man will have. It is always a pity when the woman cannot move out for financial reason, cause imagine the torture she has to go through to live with the man she despise already.But of course , even though, I still she still have rights at some point. (^_^)

In all honesty I do not want the bed he and I shared while we were together. I would want all the crap that would remind me of him out of my life along with him. If I could not afford buying another then I would sleep on the floor until I could get another. I have been there and the freaking bed went out to the dumpster. Sorry went down memory lane for a minute.

I would say that health should be a major consideration, after all, if that person has problems, they can't be improved by sleeping in a less than optimal situation. If both people are healthy, then I'd guess that whoever is nastier probably "wins" the bed - but I would be careful, if that person goes out hours to work that something "bad" might not happen to it... if you get my drift. When my brother broke off with his ex, well, even before, she kicked him out of bed because of his "snoring." Since my dad was a champion snorer, I can understand that my bro might snore. However, she also won the "nasty" award too. Happily for my bro, they had a "guest" room with a perfectly nice bed that he could sleep in.

I don't know Dawn...sticky situation. I would say he should have the couch if you have medical conditions. Personnel, we have two couches in our living room (too many kids for a couch and loveseat) and both of them are extremely comfortable so I would be more than happy either sleeping on the couch or the bed. He probably doesn't want to give up the bed because he still thinks he can partake of bedroom activities.

The answer is simple. Who ever had their way with the toilet seat will have their way with the bed I guess.

I think i get the floor, i rather sleep on the floor with is wood panels than the sofa which is too soft for my behind and backbone.Usually regardless who wants to break off i think the guy or boyfriend which has to sleep on the bed.If the breakoff is bad, i think will kick the girl / boy out whoever who commits the affair.If there is no affair just no compatibalitiy then i guess still can live together temporary.

The bed is always for the woman.I bet that the guy cant resist the temptation once her girl is lying beautifully in the bed.

I must get the bed! I don't want other woman would sleep in there! Whether he bought it, I will get the bed!
