My OH snores. A lot. Loudly. Has done for 20+ years.
It massively disturbs my sleep, I go to sleep wearing earplugs in anticipation, but am still frequently woken up and often have to relocate to the sofa in the middle of the night (as I cannot get him to roll over, let alone wake up). About 20 years ago he tried an anti snoring device once, but found it mildly uncomfortable (as I find earplugs, and the sleep mask that I wear so that he can also read until ungodly hours) and so has refused to try anything else again, and maintains that it is my problem being a light sleeper.
Yesterday the dentist asked again if he grinds his teeth- he always maintains that he doesn't as I would complain about it
(I imagine that the earplugs actually drown out this small noise). However the dentist said he probably grinds his teeth as a reaction to his snoring and suggested mouth taping. He immediately ordered some mouth tape.
Obviously I will benefit from this (if it works, and if he actually sticks with it for
more than 1 night).
My problem is that I am annoyed that he has not bothered to do anything about
this until he has found out that it is actually affecting him.
Am I being unreasonable to conclude that my health and wellbeing is very low down on his list of priorities?
(it is worth noting that he is overweight, smokes and often drinks too much - all known causes of snoring)
Thanks for reading
