Can't cope with snoring anymore

My partner's, been together a few years, living together about 2.5 years and he snores virtually every night, even louder if he's been drinking.
We live in a studio flat so no spare rooms, looking to move when the tenancy is up.
It'd be a shame to have to move to a spare room but sleep is important.
I do wear earplugs but they only muffle the sound, I can still hear it. I hate the way the other partner (usually the woman) is just expected to live with it. It just feels like another imbalance in society towards women. The whole bed vibrates when he snores.
Anyway if I go to sleep earlier than he does which is usually the case it's ok but I still get woken up in the night, and so I'm on the sofa now most nights.
Probably a stone or two overweight. He's been to the GP previously, this was around 2 years ago though. Otherwise not done anything about it, it's just him saying 'oh am I snoring, sorry ' then back to sleep to snore further.
I can't take anymore.

Can't remember why but the GP appointment a couple of years ago didn't seem to bring anything, he said they never got back to him or something

I found when my husband put on a bit of weight his snoring got worse. I read somewhere that weight does cause an issue. Is he even willing to try nose strips or a mouth guard? I feel you're pain. It's exhausting being constantly woken up! I too wear ear plugs!

Sorry to hear you're going through it too! He's always saying oh I need to lose weight. But he lacks the motivation to do so and won't give up alcohol, I will go out and buy him some nose strips today. Can't cope anymore, I know he's not doing it on purpose but I'm sick of being tired most days.
