To wish to be single because of he's snoring?

[toomuchtoolittle]

I love my husband very much but he's snoring has me having irrational thoughts at 2am wishing I was single and how good sleeping alone must feel☺️

I can't be alone with having these kind of thoughts?

What does your partner do that you find hard to live with?

@toomuchtoolittle

I do that too 😂 but if he’s snoring I’ll either go on the couch or snuggle in with one of the kids 😁

Dh didn't get on with one mask so they gave him another to try that he can tolerate better.

I’m the snorer in our relationship.
Fortunately we have two bedrooms. DH starts the night in with me but if I get too bad he goes to the other room.

I can’t slerp alone so the snoring is neither here nor there but fuck me his stuff. It’s everywhere. Every single surface is coated with his fucking stuff. Books, papers, clothes. This shit seems to be multiplying. In an ideal world we would have separate houses with a connecting bedroom. Actually that wouldn’t work. It would have to be a connecting bed, a bedroom has a floor which is no good.

CPAP machines are amazing. Not only does my DP no longer snore, he also no longer wakes up totally exhausted. In the meantime, ear plugs are your friend and perhaps arrange to stagger your sleep times so you can fall asleep before the worst of the snoring starts. (Bearing in mind that if he does have sleep apnea, he might find it really difficult to lie in bed without nodding off, so he may have to wait awake in another room before coming to bed.)

Yeah in my experience earplugs cut out the higher pitched noises but not snoring.

I was going to pick some ear plugs up today, but then put them down because I remembered I've got small kids and have to be able to hear if they wake up crying/being sick ect 😩 I'm doomed aren't I?!

I've resorted to listening to audiobooks with headphones in order to get some sleep because of his snoring 😩

I find that I do hear a child crying or calling out, even with ear plugs --somehow that sound cuts through to my brain.

My OH has polyps which make him snore like a wounded warthog. He has had 2 operations, both of them really painful. The dog and I have revamped to the spare room. I can still hear it but it's not as earthshattering. I feel for you OP.

I moved him into the spare room

Separate rooms is the answer. Love my wife more than anything but I can't share a bed with her!

When my ex dp snored really loud I would scream "Aaaagggh" into his ear while beating my fist on his pillow. It woke him up and I felt better. Thank God he only stayed with me once a week.

I’ve slept on hotel room ensuite floors because of dh snoring.
It’s definitely getting worse as he gets older.
Ds has gone to uni so dh can use his room before that I use to go into dds bottom bunk once the snoring started.
I will never book a hotel again, has to be air b&b or I won’t go.
I hate it

Love this thread!

I'm literally laying awake next to my snoring DH right now!

For now I use earplugs but they don't really help a lot when he sounds like an angry walrus.
I have moved to a different room in the past but he gets upset and feels guilty when he realises I have done this.

Is it worth getting him to see a doctor?

It's funny how snoring makes many of us feel murderous!

Loving my spare room right now. Its less about his snoring and more that he gets pain and tosses and turns and it just keeps me awake.

Op you need to treat yourself to these. I have just bought them because of my DP snoring. They are fab, they are made for women's narrow ear canals. They are really comfortable to wear when sleeping on your side. I bought mine from eBay. Problem solved.

Please please please get him to a GP re the potential sleep apnoeia. My OH has a CPAP and I actually find the quiet noise it makes to be quite soothing for me now.

He got so bad he was falling asleep all the time and it affected everything. I wouldn't be able to sleep in the same room if he didn't use it.

I go in the spare room. And basically live on little sleep,

Is he overweight ?
Does he drink alcohol ?

Both increase the chances of snoring

Be prepared for him to not take this seriously. Get him to the doctors first to hopefully rule out the serious conditions.

I got a sleep app and played back the recordings - he didn’t realise how bad it was.

Thanks everyone. I managed to get to sleep before him last night so I feel a bit better this morning.
@BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty he's got an appointment for Wednesday hopefully they will help him because it's affecting everything. He falls asleep anywhere and everywhere, why means he barely spends anytime with his kids.

@Coached yes he's overweight but he doesnt drink. He's listened to me for the first time in years and booked the appointment to see his gp.

Quies soft foam earplugs are the only reason I haven’t slaughtered my DH in his sleep.

These have helped me. Flat sleeping headphones. I've got an extension to mine and I plug it into the tv or my phone for music or YouTube has calming/relaxation sounds - it drowns him out.

Well worth a try at a fiver.

'He's' cringe - yabu

Why not just sleep in separate rooms if possible? Getting a proper nights sleep outweighs any other considerations here.

Don’t be a twat.
