couples sleeping apart

Just chatting about Apartners in Montreal…..

So when I was in Montreal a couple of weeks ago, I just happened to bump into Sharon Hyman, the fabulous film maker who is in pre-production for her next documentary Apartners. Well, truth be told, I didn’t just bump into Sharon. We arranged to catch up while I happened to be holidaying in Montreal […]

#snoring #nosleep #divorce #forreal….

I know! I was kind of surprised to, but it turns out there has been a case where a woman has asked for a divorce because her husband snored so much, she’d had enough. Of even greater interest about this case, is that is happened in 1951. It just sounds like something a flighty, 21st

Why, oh why…………

Motivation drives human behaviour. Reasons give us the basis of our actions and decisions. Nothing new there. So let me jump straight to the point – why sleep separately? A basic question you might think, given the nature of my site, book and maturity of my conversations about the topic. But WHY is a constant

Liking the new “I Do”…..

What is a traditional relationship? It’s a question I have immersed myself in since my husband and I took those first steps (in different directions) to separate rooms in 2005. As a result, for the last 11 years I’ve been challenging people to prioritise health over the ‘tradition’ of sharing a bed each night with

Voices unite…..

Having been in the space of non-traditional couple behaviour for a few years, I’ve noticed an increase in a broader discussion around couples making choices about how they manage their relationship. While we’ve grown to socially sanction couples who: live together without being married have children together without being married are of the same gender,

The Comfort of Connection….

I’ve written before (The BIGger Picture) about that as humans, we have an innate drive to be accepted. Most of us like to feel ‘normal’. We like to know that our choices are within a range that does not raise social alarm bells in those from who seek approval – consciously, or subconsciously. All animals

My one piece of advice….

In an interview just after my book’s release in Canada, a journalist from The Globe and Mail in Toronto recently asked me a fantastic question. On reflection, I was surprise that no-one had actually asked me this question before. And the question was….. “What would be my No 1 piece of advice for a person

A disconnection…..

Since delving into the world of separate sleeping, a relationship dynamic has consistently confused me. To explain this confusion, I’m going to step you through the thought path that leads me to contort an expression of equal parts anger, frustration, confusion and frustration. (I would take a picture, but I don’t think it would do

By George….

Those who know me well, know of my great love for George Clooney. I know that I am but one of likely millions of women who still cannot, after many years, stop swooning waves crashing over me when ever his handsome face appears in any media. Who cannot just adore this man? Not sure about

The Challenge of Change…

My day job is a Change Manager. I currently am in the process of managing 330+ people through the change of moving from one building to another. Not only are we moving buildings, we’re drastically changing the types of spaces we will work in and how we work with each other. The environment will be
