...to stab my DH...

...for keeping me awake yet again with his snoring, grunting and farting last night? Angry Sadly, though, I fear his life insurance pay out would be pretty derisory.

Oh, to have separate bedrooms. #dream on

It's one thing to balls up and say something intended to be light hearted which upsets someone.
It's quite another when you start attacking that person who is clearly upset

MN has a hide function. If a thread and/or its title upsets you, use it.

OurLass · 02/09/2016 12:53

I was stabbed in a DV incident by ex.

I too found the title distressing and distasteful.

Buzzardbird · 02/09/2016 12:55

Not me 90 I am not upset. I didn't like the way Sex was called the humour Police. Not necessary.

I'm not into kicking people when they are clearly distressed.

Stormtreader · 02/09/2016 12:57

Oh my goodness. I'd suggest we all sit here in penitent silence but then no doubt someone would rush in to announce how upsetting it all was because their friend was attacked by a mime.

acasualobserver · 02/09/2016 12:57

I thought it was going to be an Archers thread. Disappointed.

HairsprayBabe · 02/09/2016 12:58

Some people are so boring.

Stab him OP such behaviour cannot go unpunished!

Very u it would make a mess of the bed kick him out on floor first easier cleaned I'd imagine

OurLass · 02/09/2016 13:00

Just Wow stormtreader. That the last time I open up about the horric physical abuse I suffered.

KinkyAfro · 02/09/2016 13:02

Pretty soon we won't be able to talk about anything on here for fear of upsetting someone. The thread was clearly light hearted and the title says it all, your choice whether to read or not

CheshireChat · 02/09/2016 13:04

Stick a pillow under his back so he can't roll back

user1472816341 · 02/09/2016 13:05

Bit of a naff thing to even joke about, no?

There's a thread on Relationships from a man who says his wife has told him she sometimes thinks about getting a knife from the kitchen drawer and stabbing him in his sleep. I know a guy who was the nicest person you'd ever meet until the point he went berserk after a skinful and attacked some friends in their bed for no apparent reason. He's doing 13 years for it.

Honestly, the mindset of some people on this site is so off beam I think they'd be quite happy posting pictures of crash victims on 4chan.

ClashCityRocker · 02/09/2016 13:06

OP have you tried sewing half a tennis ball to his back? Then he can't sleep on his back.

Buzzardbird · 02/09/2016 13:07

To his back Clash? That's a little extreme! Grin

ClashCityRocker · 02/09/2016 13:10

Shit back of his pjs!!! Grin

Although...

Laodicean · 02/09/2016 13:11

I thought this was going to be an Archers' thread....

user1472816341 · 02/09/2016 13:12

Storm yep, that might be a good idea.

klch14 · 02/09/2016 13:13

I had this last night! Out of pure frustration I flicked him really hard across his ear. He shot out of bed called me something under his breath and went to sleep on the sofa Grin I had a great sleep and he was up all night listening to the dog snore. Karma works in wonderful ways!

Zaphodsotherhead · 02/09/2016 13:13

Mine does this thing where he falls asleep with his legs bent and his knees up. Then..veeeerrrry sllloooowwwwly his feet start to slide (with the concommitant 'sliding' noise on the sheet) and just as I am starting to fall asleep one leg will hit the bed, then the other. It doesn't wake him up (he sleeps extremely soundly) but it wakes me up every. single.time. I don't know how one man can be so annoying, but he is.

SciFiFan2015 · 02/09/2016 13:15

I suppose people that might be upset about this thread shouldn't even open it and use the hide function as a PP has suggested
The op could have said AIBU to stab DH in the thread title
Then gone on to say "with my fingers in the eye" in the first post! This edit wouldn't have been upsetting to others but people rolled in announced their offence and kept posting.
I'm sorry for all those in horrible situations and suggest self-preservation in cases like these. Ignore, hide, move on and enjoy taking part in other threads.

As for OP my DH has a dentist fitted mouth guard. Silence for me. HE sleeps better too. No tooth grinding, no tooth banging, no moaning, no snoring. It's bliss.

For the other? A cork? Grin

ClashCityRocker · 02/09/2016 13:16

I find the sound of DH snoring almost....relaxing.

Although he doesn't to great big snotty guttural snores, more Disney-esq snores.

Billy Connolly says to stop snoring he wears a top with a breast packet, but back-to-front with an apple in the pocket. Stops him snoring and he gets a lovely warm apple to eat in the morning!

akkakk · 02/09/2016 13:27

YANBU With your idea, (or how you phrased it)
YABU to think that most readers on here are intelligent...

Yes, some wording upsets people, but they can't hold the English language to ransom and refuse to allow others to use it...

So carry on OP give him pain Grin
