Barbara Corcoran prefers separate bedrooms from husband to keep sex ‘short’: ‘I lead a very busy life’

People.The television star revealed why having separate rooms works for them nearly 37 years after they tied the knot on Valentine’s Day in 1988.Corcoran shared that he has a lot of “ideas” in his head and she finds it difficult to “come up with the energy at the end of the day to listen to him and to nod and to contribute to the conversation.”“I run a little short,” she admitted. “Better I go to my room, and I have an hour to myself.”And the two have an understanding when it comes to entering each other’s space.“If I go to the living room, my husband follows me.

I go to my bedroom, he doesn’t dare come in. I have to invite him into my bedroom and I like it that way,” Corcoran said. “He’s never invited me back ’cause he knows I’ll never come into his bedroom, but I have to invite him into my bedroom.”While the entrepreneur-turned-TV shark joked that having separate bedrooms makes sex a “short thing,” she said the two still have special nights together — but it involves a different kind of intimacy. “My idea of a special night with my husband is a good game of Scrabble.

He’ll often say to me S or S, and I’ll say ‘Scrabble’ ’cause the first S means sex, and I say, ‘No, Scrabble,’ and I love beating him at Scrabble, and he loves beating me at Scrabble, and that’s a great night,” Corcoran shared.This isn’t the first time she’s talked about the pleasure of having her own room.In March, the “Shark Tank” personality said not sharing space with her husband keeps intimacy “fun.”“I’ve had a separate bedroom with Bill for like 40 years,” she explained. “I have to invite him in — he invites me in occasionally.”Corcoran also said it doesn’t just keep their sex life alive.
