to be properly irked with dh right now

I've had an OP under GA today, all went ok, so was allowed home this evening. DH took the day off, sat with me for many dull hours in the hospital, taxi'd me around, brought me percy pigs to cheer me up post op and has generally been a pretty exemplary dh.

BUT he's chosen tonight of all fucking nights to take up sober snoring. Ive already woken him 3 5 times to tell him to roll over/stop etc (he drunk snores when on his back), but he keeps going straight back to sleep, rolling back over and resuming where he left off.

All the good drugs I was on earlier have now worn off, so I'm grumpy and in pain and can't sleep lying next to thomas the fucking tank weeble here.

I can't boot him to the sofa, as he's got a bad back and will be in agony tomorrow if he sleeps down there (and there isn't enough sympathy or painkillers in the world house for that right now).

I could go and sleep on the sofa, but I don't want to as it's cold (no duvet, only a blanket) and putting on extra layers and making it downstairs is a non-trivial proposition without assistance right now.

It's not really the end of the world as I can sleep all day tomorrow if I need to (yay for sick leave), but fuck me am I tempted to smother him with his super-soft duck down pillow(s). My bog-standard foam one wouldn't do the job properly, I suspect, although it may reduce the decible levels.

I know IABU, but goddamnit.

I reckon, tonight, just as a one off, suffocation is perfectly reasonable.

J hope you get some sleep soon.

I think use of the word "irked" (rather than raging etc) automatically means that YANBU.

Fix a tennis ball to the back of his t shirt. 👍

‘Thomas the fucking Tank weeble’ - that has got to be the funniest silly name ever! Love it! 😂😆😂

What about à pair of headphones and listen to some music? Might help take the edge off

I really feel your pain - I also had day case surgery yesterday and am listening to DH snoring after he moaned about how tired he was. And I'm in pain too.

i had a dog who used to push him off bed if he snored
a very handy trick and he couldn't blame it on me.i threw some pillows and a quilt down there for him.firm floor was great for his back

get a pillow, and when you thump him and wake him up and he rolls over, wedge the pillow in behind him so it runs down his back, he wont be able to easily roll back over
