Asking my partner to sleep elsewhere

7 replies

BigBaboonBum · 04/01/2018 20:17

Hi everyone. I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant and I really want my OH to sleep somewhere else (we can do the spare room out or sofas or blow up bed, wherever).
He’s driving me up the walls lately, I have misophonia but pregnancy makes it SO MUCH worse that his breathing, snoring, farting etc is enough to make me completely lose the plot if it carries on! I already can’t be in the same room as him whilst he eats because it’s thoroughly disgusting.
I’m trying to be mindful that he can’t help the things he does (despite many reminders on my half), but my SPD is really kicking in now and I’m sharing a bed with my youngest to avoid it and I really just want my bed back!! My hips/entire pelvis is destroying me and I’m constantly waking up with pins and needles as I don’t have enough room.
Am I being unreasonable to ask him to just sleep elsewhere at least until baby arrives, so I don’t have to? Blush I know it’s harsh but I’m just exhausted

Yadnbu!

YANBU just make sure he has something comfortable he can sleep on properly if it will be for the rest of the pregnancy. My husband would sleep on the couch a couple of times a week to help me get some sleep in pregnancy

I am 38 weeks pregnant and husband has been sleeping in the spare room for the majority of the pregnancy, and will continue to do when baby is here. Yanbu, you need your rest.

I would see a chiropractor as soon as possible for help with the SPD, I would have left DH for mine without a backwards glance during my last pregnancy!
ANd of course you're NBU to ask him to sleep elsewhere if its more comfortable - much less hassle than having to hold a pillow over his face :D

Yanbu- he should also be taking his youngest with him and dealing with them in the night

Are you able to use ear plugs to reduce the noise you hear? I’m quite sure he can’t help breathing!
