When I grew up, my parents generally slept separately once I was 3 or so (my dad likes 2 duvets even in summer; my mum overheats with one even in winter and needed the loo 20 times a night...), and that was considered fairly reasonable when it was a case of my dad 'retreating' to the spare room, but when we moved and they officially had their own rooms most of my friends thought that was wierd.
When Conflux and I moved in together we thought we'd sleep together at least on weekends in our two-bedroom flat, but after a month concluded that dividing the space into a bedroom each was the way to go, what with him being an insomniac and going to bed a couple hours later than me.
I suspect there's a lot of envy about being able to afford separate bedrooms.
