To smother DH in his sleep?

27 replies

Iloveonionchutney · 20/02/2014 22:49

It started with an 'I'm the one who works' comment and went downhill from there, I'm a sahm and run an online business - now he has the audacity to snore right next to me, before I've even switched my lamp off! Should I just ltb or smother him for getting right on my tits tonight?

My dh is snoring next to me before I have turned my lamp off!

InPursuitOfOblivion · 20/02/2014 22:51

Facing similar dilemma myself, for almost the exact same reasons!

mumteedum · 20/02/2014 22:56

Yanbu. That's all have to say!

YANBU! Nothing more annoying than a snoring DH, particularly if you're up for the umpteenth time breastfeeding and he doesn't even stir.

VulvaBeaker · 20/02/2014 23:15

He's snoring? YANBU LEAVE HIM.

OiMissus · 20/02/2014 23:16

Not unreasonable at all.
Dig up thine patio and smother him.
And then help me with mine. Smile

sadbodyblue · 20/02/2014 23:19

you have his/her lamps?

smother him. Grin

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 20/02/2014 23:22

No jury of your peers (from mn) will find you guilty. I have my pillow ready.

hmc · 20/02/2014 23:24

Mine snores. If I wake him to tell him to stop he rages at me. Yes - smother him!

Glad you all agree!
Sandboyblue, not his and her as such just my side of the bed!

I've come up with the ideal solution.

Dp now rents a flat half a mile away. Luckily his snoring is not audible from here (but I reckon only just).

YANBU am planning smother mine tonight (hmm does that make it premeditated?) as last week I had to listen to him whining on about a terrible nightmare, I said oh yeah I remember you muttering and twitching in your sleep, he was outraged, you should've woken me etc. Last night approx 30 seconds after his and her lights out he started twitching and muttering so I carefully (he is black belt karate bod and has form for lashing out karate style in his sleep, sigh) reached out and touched his arm and said gently are you ok darling? The response - what've you woken me up for? You were having a nightmare. No I was not I was laying here perfectly still and haven't even been asleep yet grrrrrr! Actually on second thoughts I think stabbing is more appropriate! Maybe we could share a cell?

arfur · 20/02/2014 23:49

Grin At Frusso! The kids suggested I push him out of the bed next time when I told them about it earlier!

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 20/02/2014 23:53

I almost did for my dh, bil and sil on Saturday night. The men were downstairs as well! I was going to frame the dog

Smothering is impractical: surely you don't want to lie next to a corpse all night? You need to be more creative. How about opening the window as wide as possible; putting a Thomas toy/football/iPhone cable (depending on the age of your DC) at the end of the bed, then shouting "Fire"? With a bit of luck, your DH will leap out of bed, trip over the age-appropriate-so-unsuspicious-to-the-police plaything and fall out of the window. Simply close the window behind him and peace will reign.

Ohwhat - excellent idea, no dog but the cat has 'form' Wink not such a big leap from rodents to dh is it?

ForgettableTampon · 21/02/2014 00:00

oi oi OP you ain't a SAHM you are a WAHM, you are running a business from home.

Also, cosh him with leg of lamb then cook a roast dinner to serve to the Polis

Ummm... I actually did try to smother dh in his sleep. Luckily he woke up whilst I was doing it. The pillow was lying between us in the morning...

Anyoneforturps that is a genius idea! Knew I could rely on you lot for some tips! Of course I could vanish him to the spare room but where's the fun in that!

My dh not only snores so loudly that it disturbs the just on the edge of sleep five month old baby but last week he reached across and pulled my hair really hard!

If the jury were made up of your peers (other snore partners) they wouldn't convict they'd clap!
