To want to smother my husband

[TooManyButtons]

With a pillow. He lying next to me snoring like a pneumatic drill. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

No amount of gentle shaking/nudging/kicking in shins is working so am considering more drastic measures. That or divorce

[charliesmommy]

I find holding his nose, and covering his mouth, at the same time, has a certain effect. Followed by a "shut the fuck up and turn over" loudly in his ear as he starts to gasp for breath...

[olderyetwider]

Also reason I'm not asleep. Apparently he's had flu for 6 weeks now! May resort to murder, divorce, or sarcasm

[onimolap]

YANBU Divorce is really Not On.

Murderous thoughts are a natural part of a marriage.

[charliesmommy]

Flu for 6 weeks ya say? Mine was telling someone last night that he had Swine Flu for 2 days last week...

[MardyBra]

I have two words: Spare Room

That's where DH has been kicked out to again.

If no spare room, then he needs to go on the sofa.

[olderyetwider]

Tis definitely swine flu, given the noises he's making!

[auntyfash]

YANBU

[Spenguin]

I wish I had your balls. I opt for the loud clap with my hands, he stirs, confused, I pretend to be asleep, snigger into pillow, he turns on to his side, everyone's happy!

[OnEdge]

kick him out of bed if he's snoring, its unfuckingbearable

[OnEdge]

Twatflu !

[midlandsmumof4]

Nothing gentle.....A swift kick or knock (punch) in the ribs, if all else fails shove him out .

[Triggles]

I just showed this thread to DH. He's not snoring now. I think he's afraid to go to sleep.

problem solved.....

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

i'm sat in the living room putting off going to bed, i can hear it loud enough down here !

[egopostulosomnus]

ooh my DH is a chronic snorer too, and claims he 'cant feel' the massive kicks, shoves etc, and its not his fault but mine that he doesnt wake! i cant shout as i often have a just settled back to sleep baby clamped onto me, i can even hear him if i make him start the night in the spare room! between him snoring and a not brilliant at night baby i get little or no sleep, i sympathise with you.

its very nice to see i am not alone, quite reassuring really.

[girtlush]

ROFL at Twatflu onedge :o

[comewhinewithme]

PMSL @ Twatflu.

YANBU. My DP is a dreadful snorer. It's like having roadworks next to me in the bed.

The trouble with snoring is that it's like they're rubbing your nose in their lovely comfortable restful sleep AND keeping you awake at the same time! It's so easy to get really cross and resentful, and then it's impossible to drift off.

My solution so far is a combination of heavy-duty earplugs and poking him when it gets too bad. (Try snorestore.co.uk if you want to do the earplug thing, they have a great selection ).

[3Of1And1OfTheOther]

YANBU i think most of us have those kind of thoughts at 1 in the morning trying to get to sleep listening to snoring that is getting louder and louder by the minute...Well i did this morning anyway! :o

I'm rather shocked you're so close to the OP's husband to be honest.....

[Onetoomanycornettos]

i'm assuming this is temporary...

I used ear plugs for years (no amount of repositioning/kicking worked, he snored in every position).

We moved to separate beds.

Now he has a sleep apnoea machine for his sleep apnoea machine which is marginally better than the pneumatic drill snoring, but only just.

We are still in separate beds (although bed hopping is well-known)

[Takeresponsibility]

Flu for 6 weeks! More likely to be a sinus infection - he needs to get himself to the doctors and get some antibiotics.

It isn't his fault if he is snoring because of an ENT type infection, but it is his fault he hasn't gone to the doctors to sort it out.

Murder is out (for now) kick up the backside is mandatory though!

My sympathies.
Been there, got the T shirt. DH's snoring can be heard ALL round the house.

[oldraver]

I used to pinch DH's nose to stop him snoring, he would rouse with a splutter but stop..... for a bit

[TheVisitor]

My DH is going to make a doctor's appointment, as his snoring is making me miserable. We don't have a spare room, but nor do we want him on the sofa every night.
