To be soooooo angry about snoring

[okytdvhuoo]

Hello! I’m very tired. DP snored like a fucking plane landing last night and I got about 2 hours sleep. I’m self-employed and have had to move work around today as I couldn’t concentrate on the technical work I’d planned to complete. So have literally lost money and will have to work on the weekend.

We also have tickets to go and see a performer tonight, which I booked and have been really looking forward to (missed start if tour last year as I was ill). I feel foggy and exhausted and look tired.

I had already asked him to get this sorted and he’s chosen not to. He doesn’t want to use anything to help, he won’t go to drs about the fucking sinus issue he goes on and on about.

He says earlier he would sort of asap so I was like - great, why not call the drs now. Yo which he replied he was too busy, lots of things to do (definitely not too busy to ring the drs or even that busy in General).

It’s fucking inconsiderate isn’t it?!?!

My dp is an awful snorer. He had some nose surgery and it made zero difference. We can't share rooms it's a nightmare. We just about struggled through a week holiday in the same room

My ex husband snored like a pig and could be heard from a different room so you have my sympathy. The selfish prick used to say 'one of us might as well get some sleep' when I woke him up for snoring. I moved to a separate bedroom. And then I divorced the fucker.

He’s like my DH - selfish and needs a wake up call which is what has just happened for him. He finally spoke to the GP who thinks he has sleep apnea, and an initial GP questionnaire suggests he is in the moderately severe/severe category, so he has been referred to a consultant.

It was the shock that the GP said if he leaves it untreated then he is at risk of developing heart disease and a stroke that has shocked him into taking action. Sometimes snoring is nothing but a noise nuisance but for many it can be serious if untreated.

Different types of snoring need different types of treatment

Also recommend getting this book as they only seem to care to do something about it when they realise that it is affecting them as well. They will consider it to be everyone else's problem until they realise that they are putting their own health at risk.

Best thing I ever did was sleep in another room. I know have a lovely bedroom all to myself. That was after he had an operation to try and stop the snoring. Sex in his bed too.

There is NOTHING on this earth more annoying, infuriating and soul destroying than listening to someone snore. People have killed for less!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I bought a lovely mahogany, superking sleigh bed, and moved myself and cats into spare room. I still want to shank him but the risk is less.

I was almost driven mad with sleep deprivation due to a snoring ex, I recorded him and he just laughed about how bad it was. I would weep with frustration over it. Happy he's gone.

I'm in a relatively new relationship with a snorer and there have been nights I could of cried. But thankfully it's not all the time and to be fair he uses strips and sprays and little magnets that all can help! Your DP should be urgently finding a solution!!

This is f**king terrible!

What an inconsiderate arsehole! I suspect he jollies off to work, fresh as a daisy, while you’re left to catch up with sleep.

Have you tried speaking to him?

My DH is similar , he had his tonsils removed and some flappy bits of skin at the back of his throat / nose removed but still snores especially if he had a drink - separate rooms for us and I still need to wear industrial strength earplugs

My ol' man would need duct tape..

OP I know exactly how you feel there's nights I could rip DH leg off and club him to death with it.
Unfortunately sleeping in separate rooms is the only way to overcome it if your DH won't seek help.

Yep. Separate rooms. So many couples do it nowadays. I don't think we're all designed to sleep so close to another person!

HelloTreacle9 If it was a proper assessment they do get partner to fill in a questionnaire. They can’t really tell with that. I would have passed on my questionnaire but failed in the one I filled in. Main thing was wearing an oxygen monitor for a couple of different nights. I do have sleep apnea. I had to have nasal surgery and I have a cpap machine which was a brilliant changer for my husband. All he hears is it hissing.
I now am pre diabetic and have angina. If he has sleep apnea he will need treatment. All my husband and I thought was that I was a bad snorer. Not that I had sleep apnea.
