See me and my partner have always had separate rooms for various reason due to our relationship style etc but also due to our personalities and need for space from one another. I love him to the moon and back but seeing his stupid face constantly with no space ro retreat to would be a nightmare for me.

Space isn't always a bad thing. Space doesn't mean that love isn't there. But also space gives you time to think and reflect in a way you can't don't in close proximity.
