Cameron Diaz on normalizing separate bedrooms.
I don’t know why Cameron Diaz is getting back talk and lip for wanting to normalize separate bedrooms. I am with Cameron Diaz when she says we should normalize separate bedrooms.
First, though, why are we even discussing such a private matter? Cameron was giving an interview on the Lipstick On The Rim podcast when she proclaimed such blasphemy! I say blasphemy in jest because, as I stated earlier, I’m with Cameron Diaz on this one.
Cameron Diaz says we should normalize married couples having separate bedrooms:
“To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours. We have the family house in the middle. I will go and sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room. I’m fine.” pic.twitter.com/tSSSLPaZ6K

Maybe I disagree with her on the separate houses thing she mentions. But she is a wealthy celebrity married to a rich rock star, so having separate houses is probably typical for them. But I am all for the separate bedrooms.
Then she drops this, and I love Cameron Diaz even more.
But that’s not to say the Holiday star isn’t armed with a solution for maintaining intimacy in the relationship. “And we have the bedroom in the middle,” she added, “that we can convene in for, you know, our relations.” – EOnline
I have to laugh at this because The Gent and I used to joke about this all the time! My husband, whom I refer to as The Gent on the blog and other online media, used to snore like a freight train. I would have to get up and go to the couch because I like sleeping. This was all when we still had kids living with us and before we were empty nesters. So there wasn’t a spare bedroom to go to for me; the couch was my only reprieve. I was thankful for a comfortable couch at that time. But honestly, I would have slept in a cold barn on prickly hay back in those days when The Gent sawed logs all night.
The Gent did the sleep studies and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. He had the CPAP machine with all the hoses and crap. He hated wearing it, so he stopped wearing it after a while.
Miraculously, he doesn’t snore anymore. It’s weird how it stopped all of a sudden.
Private Matter
But anyway, back to Cameron Diaz and why people have such strong emotions over such a private matter. Why do we care if people are sleeping in separate bedrooms in the first place? You have your family, household, and habits; I have mine.
On my Rumble channel, I discuss Cameron’s penchant for separate bedrooms.
Honestly, I don’t care where you are sleeping in your house. But now I am wondering if I should care. I don’t care, but should I? Is this just another way of the left trying to break down the traditional family unit? Okay, I know I am reaching here. And I am chuckling right now at myself for even trying to bring this up. Then again, I used to chuckle when someone would bring up pronoun usage, too.
But people voiced their strong opinions on this topic all over X. It’s amazing how people feel so strongly about married couples having separate bedrooms. I will tell you right now that I am a much better wife when I have 8 hours of good sleep. The Gent would agree. Now that we are empty nesters, we do have two empty bedrooms. Literally, the bedrooms are totally empty. As in no furniture right now. We are waiting until we refurbish the house. But before we refurnish the house, we are waiting for our cat to pass on. It may be a while. Yes, we are living our lives around a cat.
The Gent and I sleep together in our queen-sized bed if you are curious. And when we do get furniture in the other bedrooms, we’ll still sleep together. I have no reason to sleep separately. Not unless he starts snoring again.
What about you? Do you have a strong stance on this topic? Tell me in the comments.
I agree with you. Well written, open and honest.
