Bastarding snoring bastard

21 replies

Snorersrusl · 30/12/2012 01:36

After a very civilised evening whereby the DH and 3 DS's (teens) watched back to back Batman shite movies, followed by match of the day, whilst I retired to the bedroom with a bottle of red and my selection box, to watch Mrs Brown and Love Actually (yes I know, cheese of the highest order), then feeling very relaxed and looking forward to a decent sleep, that utter fucking bastard is now snoring his arsing fucking head off at a rate of decibels.

WIBU to rent myself a nice girlie flat and once they've all been fed and watered to go round there to spend my evenings and to sleep?

I don't mind meeting up with DH for dates and shags and stuff, as long as I dot have to sleep with him.

A swift elbow dig to his ribs is cheaper and infinately more satisfying IMHO.

(DH snores like a warthog especially after too many glasses of Jamiesons)

Still sawing wood, roll on one of the kids leaving home and I'll move in their room!

YANBU. There's a lot to be said for having separate bedrooms with a connecting door for use by appointment only. I think I might suggest this to my snoring asthmatic rhino DH...

DP is currently growling and making a noise that sounds as if hes being sick in his own mouth.

When I punched tapped him he reached over and ruffelled my hair before starting again. Hmm

Petsinmypudenda · 30/12/2012 01:49

Go give hom a kick, I am the snorer in my house, dh just digs me in the ribs till I turn or flounce to the sofa. I would love separate rooms Grin

inchoccyheaven · 30/12/2012 01:53

We have separate rooms because of my snoring, goodness knows what will happen when the dc want their own room each Blush

Trouble is half the time I think I am awake when I'm not.

OrangeLily · 30/12/2012 01:54

Record him and set it as the ringtone on his phone Grin

Mines had a CPAP machine for a couple of months now. Snoring from hell has gone
Not everyone gets on with them because it's a mask over your face at night, but when dh went back to hospital for review (they download his sleeping pattern from memory card in machine), he's getting proper uninterrupted sleep for the first time in years (me too!!). Plus it's stopped the sleep apnoea which is not a good thing to have.

Mytwobeautifulgirls · 30/12/2012 01:59

orange lily what a great idea I'm lying here listening to my dp snoring like a pig waiting for him to wake dd2 lol

Snorersrusl · 30/12/2012 02:10

Still going. I elbow him and he rolls over with an extra big snore.

Doesn't cpap make as much noise as snoring?

Separate rooms with naughty night visits here...

I pretend to be sad, but secretly love having my own bed. Ds sometimes gets upset about it bizarrely.

Dh slept in here for Christmas eve and I got 1 hours sleep. I wanted to kick that snore guard out of his chops at 4 am, when I could hear it sucking in and out of his mouth, and the stream of cold foul bed breath that blows out of the air hole.

Urrghhh...

MichelleRooJnr · 30/12/2012 02:44

I often wonder how come there aren't more cases of mariticide due to snoring.

We have both spent the odd night in the spare room but it's an 'orrible room compared to our lovely comfy bedroom so not a long term solution.

I bet people split up over snoring.

It's so hard to discuss it rationally when sleep deprivation makes a person so fekkin ratty!

It doesn't even have to be loud to be hellish - just constant.

Constant.

Constant.

DP uses a nose plaster thing which works ok but he finds uncomfortable.
And when I nudge/tickle/kick/beg we both get narky. Grrr.

curiousuze · 30/12/2012 04:47

My DH came home pissed and was sawmilling away while I kicked and elbowed him . I eventually viciously held his nose until he opened his mouth and shut up...and then he said in his sleep 'I love you and [baby] so much' so now I feel like a right cow.

wrinklyraisin · 30/12/2012 05:04

My other half has a cpap now. It's AMAZING. he sleeps almost silently. It sounds like a portable fan on low so it's soothing rather than disturbing. We both sleep better, him due to no more sleep apnea and me due to no more seething rages several times a night listening to him either snore so loud glass rattled in the windows or stop breathing for 30 seconds several times every 20 minutes. We are way happier :) snoring is torture for the snorer and their poor victim/partner!

Snorersrusl · 30/12/2012 09:04

He's up now, all chirpy and happy wittering on about "doing something". I am grumpy and tired, and the last thing I want to do is spend time with someone who has kept me awake all night sawmilling.

It does make you feel resentful and unloving, I have told him to go to GP but he won't.

Dh gave me (amongst other things) some earplugs for Christmas! They're fab, only now I have to get over the hearing my heartbeat thing....

He's slightly overweight and has a cold so it's been worse than usual lately, plus I've noticed I'm fine if i get to sleep before him, but over Christmas my body click has shifted slightly.

It's noticeable tat when he loses just a little weight he stops snoring. I think it's related to collar size. He's going to start cycling to work again after the holidays and should improve. I hope.

msrisotto · 30/12/2012 09:14

Yeah I wear earplugs every night now. Highly recommend them.

BigShinyBaubles · 30/12/2012 09:14

I kicked my oh out of MY bedroom years ago due to his snoring. He still moans. But I don't care.

Snorersrusl · 30/12/2012 09:25

I might say its making me too tired for sex, bet hel'll soon get down the GPs then....

I hate wearing earplugs, like the poster above said hearing your own heartbeat is weird and I hate the idea of not being able to hear anything - what about your alarm clock for work?

I cans till hear stuff, but is muffled. The plugs seem to take the edge off.

CoolaYuleA · 30/12/2012 10:31

DH is known as Snory McfuckingSnore in this house.

It makes me very stabby. It makes me even more stabby when I elbow him because he is snoring fit to wake the dead and he snarkily says "I wasn't snoring because I was AWAKE!" Um no, you were NOT awake - you were rattling the sodding windows actually!

It's no problem at all if I get to sleep before him because I don't hear a thing then, but since we had DD I hear him every time she wakes (convinced it's his snoring that wakes her too) and I struggle to stop myself battering him with something heavy get back to sleep.
