I can't take any more of DH's snoring!

It is constant. And so loud. And when its not loud it sounds snotty and clicky. Its driving me insane!
I have a 6 month old who still wakes for bottle feeds and likes to have a whinge during the night, and when he finally settles down DH starts the bloody orchestra.
I am starting to feel like a zombie, I'm not sleeping and it's making me cranky and shouty. He slept on the sofa voluntarily in the end last night but I feel awful, he can't help it!
I've asked him to make an effort to lose weight but he gets offended and although unhappy with his weight he isn't ready to do anything about it. He can't sleep on the sofa forever!
Has anybody had any success with any remedies they can suggest? Not sure nose strips are gonna cut it to be honest.
We've been married 4 years next week and at this rate we might not make it!

Some snoring is not treatable.

I don't see why a couple should alternate who sleeps on the sofa if the snorer isn't prepared to seek help & act to address the snoring. I certainly dont understand why the earlier poster is sleeping permanently on a sofa bed to get away from her OHs snoring. WTF is he doing to sort it out?
My dh snores - he doesn't have sleep apnea, he has an overbite which doc says can cause snoring. He's slim and fit.

I occasionally sleep in dd1s room when she's at uni and wear earplugs the rest of rhe time.

A sleep apnea machine isn't loud or worse than the snoring in my experience. Obstructive sleep apnea is life threatening and not just an annoyance. My husband snoring was just awful until I lost my shit and he agreed to speak to our doctor. A sleep study revealed how often he stopped breathing and his heart rate slowed down to almost zero.

Not all snoring is anything to do with apnea

CPAP is not a panacea

You dont know that its not treatable without a sleep test though

Indeed. But as I've already had surgery I AM SURE
