I wouldn't do that to a guy unless something like cheating happened. I believe in making up before bedtime. Disagreements should be settled, or at least a truce be met before bed time. I agree, it's juvenile to just tell your husband or boyfriend to sleep on the couch because you disagree. Especially if it's something petty.
It's not right to force someone to sleep on the couch for silly things. When I'm with someone, I like sleeping with them. Even if we had a disagreement, there are very few things that are going to interfere with sleepy time with that person. I like the closeness. Besides, they are entitled to a good night sleep too.
Now if it was cheating or something like that, then yes, I would see why it would be right to not sleep together. But if it's just a silly reason, it's pretty ridiculous.
I would never do it. If two people share a bed, they share a bed. Just talk an issue through as best as you can, and try to come to a compromise before bed. Or at least agree that even though you're mad at each other, you still love each other. And then just go to bed and agree to talk it out the next day. But going to bed angry can make a problem worse. That doesn't mean you should talk it to death, but at least come to a conclusion of some sort.
And to be honest, that's how I was raised. My parents fought just like any couple, but they always fought fair. And my dad was never kicked out to the couch. I don't see why that would be fair!
Actually, my boyfriend did this to me. We got in a fight and he just started giving me the silent treatment. He even changed for bed in the bathroom (so I wouldn't get to see him naked) and then took up the whole bed, as if to indicate that there's no room for me.
But... I just crawled in anyway and forced him back to his side of the bed and snuggled. He forgave me eventually.
I wouldn't sleep on the couch every single time after me and her got into an argument, she'll have to sometimes sleep on the couch too, cause it's only fair.
And after I made her sleep on the couch, if she tries to crawl in bed with me, I'll still make her go back to the couch, cause I wasn't though getting over the argument. If she'd expect me to forgive her so easily "because she flirted with me", that mean's she has no respect for my feelings.
To be honest I don't believe in making a person sleep on the couch for a minor disagreement. That night after the argument they can still sleep int he same bed but not have an intimate moment that night, Instead the two of them can have their backs facing each other.
I've never had that happen to me, but I've never lived in "her" place. I suppose she wants space because of a fight, and some guys just puts up with it because they love her and know women are batsh*t crazy sometimes and you just have to shrug it off and be like women. That said, anytime women do that sort of isolation sort of thing to try an punish me, I see it as a severing of the relationship. They are too immature to talk to me about it, and want to passive aggressively attack me so it comes right back at them. I just go cold on them and they lose my attention and affection. It goes both ways in relationships.

When my parents fight, my dad makes my mom sleep on the couch. I think that shows lack of chivalry and massive disrespect toward your wife and I don't know how my mom puts up with it.
I've never lived with a guy before, but I know that when I do, one of two things will happen when we're fighting. Either we will talk it out and make up before bed or his ass is on the couch. No guy is going to displace me.
My ex attempted to because I was downstairs talking to our son about a problem he was having and she wanted me to come to bed when she was awake so I would not wake her if she was asleep when I went to bed (yeah, not exactly a good reason). I was shocked and angry. I told her that if she did not want to sleep with me that she can go and sleep on the couch but I was sleeping in my own bed. She actually went downstairs (but came back later). Who the F did she think she was?
Its never been done to me. It would be a very risky thing to do with me.
If a wife/girlfriend did refuse to have me in bed with her, I would see that as a very serious rejection - i.e. end of relationship stuff. Quite frankly she would have a hard time ever getting me to come back after doing it.
It's a double standard. But to answer your question. Some women get angry more often and they don't want to be around the person they're angry at, so they make their husband sleep elsewhere. Most families don't have guest bedrooms, so the husband ends up sleeping on the couch or in another house.
And for your information, if he cheated on her, she probably wouldn't even let him get in the house.
it's because women don't actually like men. every chance they get, they'll shoo a man away because we're disgusting and also so they can have "me" time.
it's all about women, the world revolves around them. they're only concerned about themselves and what they want, when they want it.
Sometimes husbands choose to sleep on the couch because they don't want to go to bed with their wife.
You sound like you don't have much experience with relationships, and that's okay. But there are other things that can make you too mad to go to bed next to someone and be all lovey dovey than just cheating.
Sometimes people just don't want to be in the same space as each other or go to bed with each other. I don't see it as a huge deal.
because he did a very stupid thing and the woman needs space so he sleeps on couch or a friends house, whichever. I never done it but I would if I needed to
My boyfriend chose to do it himself to give me the "silent treatment". Well, whatever, I hope he had a good sleep...
I've wondered that too. Altough my dad sometimes slept on the couch voluntarily when he was drunk, because he knew was sboring more then and didn't want to wake my mom
Actually, my mom was the one who slept on the couch mostly, just because my dad would snore so loudly that she couldn't get to sleep if he fell asleep first haha.
I do it on my own free will. Tomorrow is a better day that's why I just let her have some peace for herself tonight.
I don't see it as punishment. To me it is like going camping in the living room. :)
it's emasculating. I'd never allow my girl to treat me like that.
It is always nice to have a guest bedroom for those situations. It also comes in handy when one of you is sick.
Well I don't know but when my girlfriend visits me from college she sleeps in my bed (I give her my bed) and I get by on the couch.
Girls feel they are allowed to 'punish' him by making him sleep on the couch.
