Would I be unreasonable to smother him now or should I get a glass of wine first,?

My smypathies. 💐my mum slept in another room from my father half of her married life. I guess people will say get it check out by a doc.

Glass of wine first.

Singlenotsingle · 01/07/2018 00:46

My dog snores louder than OH

spotthedot · 01/07/2018 00:48

Record him, show him, make drs appointment.

liverbird10 · 01/07/2018 00:49

Mine does the same, denies it constantly. I feel your pain.

YANBU if you mysteriously end up with a nice new self-installed patio soon.

liverbird10 · 01/07/2018 00:51

PS: If you have room for a double patio, let me know, we can split the cost... I don't have a garden.

I use sleeping headphones. I plug them into my tv but you can plug them into an iPad, listen to calming music (YouTube have hours of sleeping music, that'll play for any number of hours you want. The headphones are flat. In a headband. I've recommended them to many a friend and they've had success too.

They're £5 on eBay. Just type in sleeping headphones.

I've also bought an extension for them, so I can watch telly and use the remote control.

My husband snores like you wouldn't believe.

Thank you @boaty dor validating my choice! My mum called a while back and thought he was a train going through! It is mortifying to tell your mum(when she asks why he quietened) that you've figured out that sometimes cupping his balls helps. Tonight...no. He also has an air rifle... just saying...

My DH is currently snoring his head off.

I’m considering knifing him! Hope that helps. Enjoy your wine.

@PostcodeJack We have a deal. Nobody will ever know.

PostcodeJack · 01/07/2018 01:02

@liverbird10... he also keeps talking about chickens? Deal on patio/garden x

Just one of life's many tests of our tolerance in true love. Chances are you probably fart like a sailor as you're falling asleep, and he's on another forum somehwere pulling his hair out.

DrLawrence · 01/07/2018 01:08

ps does he drink? alcohol definately brings out the farm animal sounds.

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 01/07/2018 01:11

My DP has been away for a few weeks on work, for the first time in ages I've been able to sleep without ear plugs - bliss!

PostcodeJack · 01/07/2018 01:12

Today has involved drink but sadly that's not always the reason. He's just vaguely roused himself, apologised for snoring and gone back to... snoring like a warthog. Although apology makes me feel less stabby. @liverbird10 ...the hole is still being dug

@PostcodeJack

Chickens? !

Fair enough, if that's what floats his boat...

My fool once suddenly stopped snoring, having kept me awake for hours. Oh, I thought wearily, what is this now?!

Fool sits bolt upright in his sleep. Shrieks "SHAMONE!" , Michael Jackson style. Cackles like a demented hen. Then falls back down and resumes snoring. Confused

I'll supply the wine for us both during the patio installation. Only fair.

Worth every penny and way cheaper then the solicitor you'd need if you smother him. Grin

PostcodeJack · 01/07/2018 01:15

@liverbird10 ...I think I love you!!!

OP posts:
DrLawrence · 01/07/2018 01:18

I think it is passive aggressive snoring.

DrLawrence · 01/07/2018 01:19

In reaction to awakening from farts.

RamblinRosie · 01/07/2018 01:19

OP, I feel your pain, my DH is a crescendo snorer, it starts with a minor snort, then builds over about an hour, my neighbor did comment when we shared a bedroom wall.

I recorded it one evening, then played it back at a family party (his family) got multiple offers for patio related solutions!!

PostcodeJack · 01/07/2018 01:19

@leighaj ... I only need a solicitor if they find the body ....
