As long as I've been married I've slept in the so called, "master bedroom" (ive wondered why it's called the "Master bedroom" where the masters sleep? We rarely have more the one story, so most won't have trouble with stairs. Beautifully written my friend, your business is your business Doug, well done, blessings Roy

There really are two sides to every story, aren't there? The promise I made to my husband prior to marrying him was that if I was no longer happy being married to him, I would dissolve the marriage prior to seeking comfort elsewhere (after first trying to work it out with him, if possible). Here we are 47.5 years later - not always happy, but always able to work it out. Thanks for sharing.

This is an interesting if not a fascinating take on a bedroom. I don't believe I can answer all the questions within your poem. But towards the end of it, where are you say "I could never figure out how a negative environment can eventually force a man to look elsewhere". I can tell you about that. My wife divorced me 20 years ago and I have never regretted one day of being separated from her. She did me a favor. Second thought, I'm thinking there's some sarcasm involved within your work. Let me know if I'm correct. Best wishes.

Comment from Boogienights
I think it's because men don't listen. I'm just trying to present the female viewpoint, and I'm sure you won't agree with that. I'm not saying every man is like that, but I think the majority of men think that they are right in most matters....hence they don't hear us...just saying. Thanks for this thought provoking poem. :)

I respect this view,
and have seen it often
enough.
I won't pretend to be perfect,
but my mirror doesn't reflect
that kind of behavior back to me.
I do hope I'm not blind.
Thank you,
Doug

Your poem is rather thought-provoking, alluding to practical, physical reasons and emotional reasons (implied) for a man not to sleep in the master bedroom and how circumstances might possibly "force a man to look elsewhere." A woman's reasons might be the same! (I read the notes.) :-)

Absolutely,
a woman's reasons
can/could easily be the same.
Thank you.

You make an interesting point with this poem. LOL My husband and I do use the Master bedroom. I have sometimes thought about moving because of a snoring issue and would like to get some sleep, but have not. LOL Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your insight. I guess a lot of men don't get the master bedroom just like my husband, his snoring has placed him in the spare room just like my grandpa. He falls asleep in our king bed sometimes so I go to the spare room to give him a chance to enjoy our pricey mattress. The joys of monogamy ha! Good presentation as well.

The story is obviously a metaphor to inspire people to change habits.
Common sense provides answers to what appear to be unresolvable issues.
And elevator or a stair climber might solve the problem. Also, moving to a home that is one story only could resolve the issue.
Many people are reluctant to choose a solution, fearing loss of face. (Japan).
When considered thing the Alternatives, it would be best to avoid the psycho path.

This poem, I think, a lot of people can relate to. Men like it easy, I think. They don't take sickness well, unless they are the sick ones, then the world is ending lol. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
