dh snoring loudly on the sofa, have pummeled him and kicked him a couple of times and am now just thinking I might leave him here to snore merrily whilst I go and get comfy and get some sleep in. If this carries on all night I won't get any sleep................

AIBU?

Actually don't care am off to bed

YADNBU - I do it all the time.

I reckon it saves me from The Routine many nights.

Go Go GO!

I think she went.

God I do this all the time, and I don't try and wake him too much, we both sleep better as I talk in my sleep and fidget and he snores.
He sometimes comes up about 5ish for a cuddle before getting up but I am not offended if he doesn't!

Glad it's not just my DH who does this!

I make a point of not waking DP. He snores like a warthog.

If I leave him sleeping I am hopefully sound asleep when he wakes up and crawls in beside me.

Even the cat covers her ears when he is at his most strident .

I am surprised that has not been an ASBO slapped on him [very knackered smile]

I quite often tell him that I tried to wake him several times. I don't.

I can only fall to sleep in very limited circumstances and if he's in bed it's highly unlikely that I'll fall to sleep untill he's in a really deep sleep (after about 30 minutes of him actually falling asleep) and I can gently push him so he faces the other way. He likes to cuddle to sleep, and no matter how many times I explain I can't sleep like that he still has to be selfish.

If I'm asleep when he comes to bed he doesn't wake me though.

Leave him there, grab what sleep you can before he slinks into bed with you!!

jillhastwoponies · 17/07/2010 01:08

Ha ha, I always feel obliged to make an 'effort' to wake him... the gentlest of tugs on his sleeve..a very quietly whispered 'wakey wakey'...but, oh dear, I just can't make him stir, big bed to myself, oh bliss.

as someone who has been awake most of the night listening to her husband snore, YADNBU.

I don't feel obliged to wake my dh up and tell him to go bed, I am not his mother. Unfortuantly I have to as he falls asleep without setting his alarm and wouldn't get up for work.

I don't think its fair that I have to listen to him snore downstairs meaning I have to turn the TV up and then listen to it upstairs as well though - selfish git

Debs75 · 17/07/2010 08:55

YANBU I do this most nights as DP likes to stay up till the wee hours and I need at least 8 hours kip.
We probably only go to bed together about once a month.

Doodleydoo · 17/07/2010 21:29

So glad it isn't just me then - had a cracking nights sleep and woke up at 7am feeling quite refreshed - got dd up and turned the tv on for her in our room - and promptly dozed off again! Brilliant but then am 35 weeks pg and in need of constant sleep!

Won't feel guilty if I do it again tonight!

Sadly in this relationship it is me up until the wee hours I only need 4 hours sleep, and dp nagging me to go to bed at 10 does not help. Worse still he tries to keep up with me and stay awake he only goes and makes himself ill bless .
