Snoring - Exiled to the Office?

Not sure if AIBU... In the past few months I've started snoring or, at least, my husband has started noticing I'm snoring and hasn't then been able to get back to sleep. I'm not drinking, not over weight, have tried sleep pillows, nasal sprays. He doesn't want to try ear plugs.

He's just started in his first senior role, so I'm trying to be as supportive as possible on the home front - and feel monstrously guilty about keeping him awake. The only solution we have seems to be me not being in the same room - by sleeping on a pull-out bed on the floor of my office.

I feel absolutely shit about this. I've taken a demotion and moved to part-time to facilitate the move and his new job, and this just seems to be another way of letting me know I belong in the servants' quarters. Or is it just a pragmatic solution and I'm overreacting?

I can understand his need for sleep, but at the very least you should take turns on having the crappy bed.

Why doesn't he want to try ear plugs? It's a v simple possible win.

I'd go to the GP about the snoring, they might be able to refer you to a specialist. In the meantime look for a new job that suits you better and gets you up the ladder again. You shouldn't have had to talk a demotion.

Get back in the bed and ask him to record you when you wake him up snoring so you can take it to your gp.
