To let him sleep or should I wake him up?

(lighthearted)

DH is just home from a "lads' night out". He just sat down on the sofa and is now snoring his head off. WIBU to just leave him so I can then go to bed and have a nice sleep without him snoring in my ear, or should I wake him and make him go to bed. If it makes a difference, DC are at their dad's tonight so us waking up in the same bed may be beneficial to me in the morning (we're TTC) but I do also like the idea of getting to sleep without all the snoring for once. I'm working tomorrow but only from 1pm so I don't know if I can justify being the person who wakes him up now...

Chuck a duvet on him and leave him to it.

JackReacherReader · 01/09/2018 02:22

Leave him there and sleep :)

Agree with the others, throw a blanket over him and leave him to it.

Additional question I should have asked earlier:

If I was to cover him with a blanket and leave him, should I try to move the recliner as far back as possible without disturbing him, or just let him sit in a more upright position and possibly end up with a dodgy back tomorrow?

Gotta give him something to say 'ooo, maybe shouldn't have drank so much last night' when he whines tomorrow Grin

I wouldn’t even bother with the duvet/blanket tbf.

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 01/09/2018 02:35

You go and snuggle up in that big bed!
No snoring!
Do the star fish!
Lie in the middle and spread yourself as wide as you can😂

To be fair, our house is incredibly warm so I might just chuck one of the throws on the sofa beside him and leave him to it that way.

Got away with putting the recliner up under him, I am now in our (super-kingsize) bed alone with the remnants of a glass of wine and fending off the dogs from joining me so I can properly starfish tonight. Grin

Last update until the morning:

Almost woke him when I put a cover over him. I couldn't not. Soft touch, me. But he's on the recliner now so hopefully can't complain to me in the morning.

However if he tries to come to bed then he might have a problem. I've thrown his pillows across the room in different directions and I'm currently starfishing the hell out of our bed, for the first time properly alone like this in years. Grin

Why would you bother covering him and putting the recliner back? He’s a grown up, so what if he gets a dodgy back?

DeltaZulu89 · 01/09/2018 04:14

Delilah, maybe because she is his partner and loves him? I’m always shocked by how many people have that attitude towards their supposed loved ones.
Op, I think you’re sweet :)

DelilahandDaisy · 01/09/2018 04:16

Ah, that must be it. I can’t love my DH Hmm

NotTakenUsername · 01/09/2018 04:24

My my my Delilah!

Rebecca36 · 01/09/2018 04:24

Leave him there. I expect you have already as it is 04.23! Hope you are sleeping soundly.

emmcan · 01/09/2018 04:24

Shave his eyebrows off.
And dangle his hand in a bowl of warm water.

paintinmyhairAgain · 01/09/2018 07:07

with you delta i too find it hard to believe how some people are so dismissive of their dp/dh. no surprise then that so many relationships go toes up.

PhilomenaButterfly · 01/09/2018 07:10

I'd leave him. DH falls asleep on the sofa every night after supper. He comes to bed sometime in the night.

iMatter · 01/09/2018 07:17

Being in the same bed with a snoring, boozy, hungover, stinking, farting man is never beneficial, however good the sex.

Enjoy your sleep Smile

WeightorWhite · 01/09/2018 07:37

@DelilahandDaisy why wouldn't she?

OP had he woken yet and crawled upstairs?

When my OH goes out and drinks for some reason he has a habit of getting up for the toilet (about 30 tImes!) and then wandering into the spare room. He then says in the morning "oh why didn't you call me".

Now let me think ....... nice big bed on my own, no snoring alcohol smelling person getting up and down to the toilet......why would I call him when he's heading to the wrong room Grin

What a dull thread.

How can someone reach adulthood and need help (from strangers) with deciding whether to put a blanket on their husband?

AnnieAnoniMoose · 01/09/2018 07:42

Now you just need to go and jump his bones on the recliner 😊

WeightorWhite · 01/09/2018 07:44

@ScrumpyCrack I think it was lighthearted?? As were the majority of the responses?

Although MN does have some right mood hoovers!

@AnnieAnoniMoose that's a great idea 👍! Go OP!

NameChangeAgain712 · 01/09/2018 07:51

MN does have some right mood hoovers!

Definitely this!

Hope you enjoyed your sleep, OP, and that your DH isn't feeling too rough for a little bit of baby-making this morning Wink
