Do you sleep in the same bed if your partner is sick?

Question

I crash on the couch.

This would be according to how sick they are. If they have the flu or covid, I'd make myself another place to sleep. Plus their coughing and sneezing or fever wouldn't allow me to sleep and help them get over their illness, would it?

I also know couples who gave each other covid because they wouldn't socially distance. And these were people who the nonsick person had diabetes, smoked and had had two heart attacks!

Makes no sense to expose your partner who is there to help you get and stay well, especially if you have any kind of risk factors, or you both have children to care for and keep healthy.

Make a sick room and keep everybody as well as possible.

Yes it'd be weird not to. I think only once my husband slept on the couch when I was REALLY sick because I needed the whole bed to breastfeed my son. I was having to puke and breastfeed at the same time. It was soo deadly ☠️

Most of the time we don't bother to quarantine if one of us is sick. There are the rare occasions when the ailment will cause one or both of us to not sleep well so the healthy partner will go to the couch or the guest room.

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

yes, I do... so I can better take care of her

even if I get sick myself, lol

unless it is something more serious and she just doesn't want me around risking it... but that's what my hazmat suits are for... lol

sage2021 · Answer

If I had someone to sleep with and they were throwing up, I would have to go sleep somewhere else so I wouldn't hear him getting sick. If I hear someone throwing up, I might throw up too, especially if it's loud and smells really bad. 🤮

IslaTheWitch · Answer

We did, except for the situation when the sick person would disturb (i. e. by coughing or frequent visits to the bathroom) the healthy one in sleep.

Rei13 · Answer

We still share. He has a better immune system than I do so I usually don’t get him sick, and for me it doesn’t matter if we share or not. If I am around it I’m getting it too. I guess if it is bad enough where we’re interfering with each others sleep then one will go to the couch, but to be honest that is also usually me because once he is asleep he will sleep through anything

EmmaMary · Answer

That greatly depends on whether it's something contagious, as one of us needs to be strong and able to deal and take care of the children.

RealMarek · Answer

Yes, no matter what. When it comes to sickness we take it on together. We did stayed in the same bed during covid. Also, one night when she was sick to her stomach I helped her as best as I could and slept in bed with her when she was able to sleep. There have been other occasions too.

_NightGuard_ · Answer

Depending on the type of your partner's illness, there may be situations where sleeping in the same bed may be risky. For example, if your partner has a contagious disease, sleeping in the same bed may increase the risk of transmitting the disease to you1. However, this all depends on your personal decision and comfort level. If you're concerned, I recommend speaking with a healthcare professional. Keeping yourself and your partner safe is always a priority.

Gopackers02 · Answer

Probably not. If it’s just a headache or stomach ache then yea. But if it’s flu, cold, cough, etc then no I’ll sleep somewhere else. I have to provide money and stuff but I’ll make her breakfast, get medicine do whatever she gotta do to let her rest up.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Yes, I am planning on every night for the rest of our lives.

Anonymous · Answer

Sleeping arrangements can vary among couples. Some may choose to share the same bed, while others may opt for separate sleeping spaces if one partner is sick to avoid spreading illness or ensure better rest for both individuals. It depends on personal preferences and considerations for each other's well-being.

Do you sleep in the same bed if your partner is sick?

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

If i was married than i'd have to say yes, where would i sleep, i feel comfortable in my bed and feel relaxed in my bedroom, also if my housewife is sick, who will take care of her if it's not going to be me, i have to be next to her to take care of her and to check on her from time to time at night to see if she's getting better 😌

DannyUk2017 · Answer

I would sleep in the same bed, you'll be amazed how a partner's morals, care, affection, metabolism can affect the other one's immune system, is better than any other medicine, pills, injections, etc, etc... it can also speed its recovery also.

AydenHazor · Answer

When I have a partner, if they're sick I'll be spending my day taking care of them anyway, so yes, I would sleep in the bed with them as well

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

If it's contagious then no because that would be a responsible. That still doesn't mean I couldn't nurse her. I mean just think of it. If I got sick because of the decease she carried then we're both sick. Neither of us are going to have a good time nursing each other. One should be well and healthy to help the other out.

The-Stud · Answer

I won't mind honestly  But I can't help but say that the second pic for option "No" is very cute lol

Techrescueff · Answer

Yes, I sleep in the same bed as my partner when she is sick. While it is a risk of getting sick as well I want to make sure I am there for my partner especially when they are feeling sick and need me to take care of any and everything for them.

Sonorous · Answer

I can only speculate. But it would really depend on my life's circumstance. If I had important things to do, I'd keep my distance. But if I didn't... fuck it. Why not. 🤷‍♂️

Couldn't dm you so, I see you are cute but I can help you in your masters program.

AviatorTom · Answer

Sometimes, it depends on how sick she is and how well she sleeps. If she's really sick and/or has difficulty sleeping, I let her have the bed and I sleep in the guest room.

MissStrawberry912 · Answer

Yes, I love being able to care for my person, make sure they feel better, or finding more ways to take care of them.

Anemone978 · Answer

Nah we still sleep in the same bed.. because we don't care if we get sick from the other one..

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

Depends on the sickness. If they're going to hurl/poop in the bed... I'll be somewhere else. If they have the sniffles then... meh.

RedInnocent68 · Answer

Yes. It’s easier to be able to help them. Sometimes not if, for example, one of us is coughing and the other needs to be well-rested for a particular reason.

Yes unless it's contagious  And unless she throws me out lol

Mangospacho · Answer

Sure, why not? I would’ve definitely caught something from the activities we had been doing in the days leading up to her getting sick.

Pudsmucker · Answer

Depends on how sick I am. I usually crash on the couch in the past, it's because the room is a lot cooler and I can be more comfortable.
