He's asleep on the sofa and snoring so loudly that I can't hear the tv

[Ohgodhesannoying]

AIBU to murder the twat?

He announced earlier in the day how tired he was. He knows that he snores like a warthog. As my title says, he has fallen asleep on the sofa and the noise is hideous. We don't have another TV in the house so I'm having to resort to subtitles while I seethe. I'm tempted to accidentally throw a cushion on his face and accidentally sit on it until the breathing snoring stops. AIBU?

Can’t you wake him up and tell him to go and rest properly on the bed? I have to do that to my DH occasionally.

I wake mine up, wait for his angry wtf to subside and tell him to fuck off to bed. Its my house too and I'm not being held to ransom by a grown man making thr main room uninhabitable

I'm way past that stage of caring about him! 🤣

I am not sure it would be worth the come back for doing that. Hence the cushion idea!

Wouldn't loud tv really not wake him up? So he moves by himself?

It would be quicker to wake him up and send him to bed than having to dig to burry the body under the patio

woman up!

I’d just wake up him and ask him to move or to wake up. Don’t think it’s as big of an issue to be that annoyed over or like he’s really done it on purpose to annoy you.

Wake him and send him to bed

It’s not for him though, it’s for you

Ha! This is very true.

Turn it off. That'll wake him up.

It didn't wake him up when I turned it on or turned it off!

Why is he so tired this early?!

My Dad did this throughout my childhood. DH is not allowed to nap in the living room.. If he does, the moment he starts to snore he's told to fuck off to bed.

I'm not having it - it's a tiny house, I'm not tip toeing around a man who has a perfectly comfortable bed he can sleep in without bothering me.

I always always nap in bed. I've nodded off once on the sofa in a decade when I was recovering from surgery and the general anaesthetic!

He didn't sleep well last night apparently. He warned me how tired he was but I assumed he would go to bed and there he was all set up on the sofa when I got home

Has he been tested for sleep apnoea? Falling asleep in the afternoon plus awful snoring.
XH’s snoring was horrendous and the irony was he’d moan if I woke him up! He refused to be tested for it. He went eventually (I assume at wife #2’s persuasion) and guess what? It is sleep apnoea.
YANBU to consider burying him under the patio. I considered it when sleep deprived. Turned out divorcing was the better option.

Just wake him up..

But that would solve your problem too.

There’s always someone who says this as if it’s wildly unusual to occasionally feel knackered at the weekend and if you’re not in the middle of a task, sitting down relaxing and ending up napping.

Also there are so many normal reasons why people might be exhausted early evening that don’t particularly need to be spelled out - long hours job, shift patterns, children waking you in the night, for women menopausal disturbance, for men of a certain age prostate issues etc etc. Plus just older age in general.

Mine snores when his head falls back. If he's in the right position, find a hard lumpy cushion, pull his head firmly upright (by the hair if necessary) and poke said hard lumpy cushion behind his head so his mouth snaps shut.

Just wake him up and tell him to move to the bedroom if he is that tired .

YABU only because this might be a health issue.
Is he overweight?

Consider sleep apnoea and get him to a sleep clinic for a sleep study.

Just to reiterate - YABU vote is only because this might be a health issue.

YANBU but can’t you go out or go and sit in bed and watch something on your phone?

Poor chap - he’s tired. He’s not snoring deliberately to annoy you.
I napped on the settee this afternoon because I was tired. I know I snore sometimes. If my OH had woken me to tell me to stop snoring I’d have been cross. I wasn’t doing it on purpose.

Splash water on him or tickle his nose for the kinder option, start saving for a 2nd tv.

Just off the bat - snoring is not a choice, so just seething as it happens is literally the most pointless exercise that makes you feel crappy. He is not snoring to spite you. Could he have thought about it before falling asleep in the only room where you have a tv? perhaps... And you could ask him to consider it next time.

The funny thing is that it takes more effort to log into mumsnet and create a thread about it, than to just wake him up - a nudge, a loud noise, a prod, anything and tell him to get his behind to the bedroom, because you want to enjoy the telly.

What the snoring is about, we of course do not know.. illness, overweight, whatever the case, he could/should pursue it (we do not know if he is).. That is a different topic.
I'd just say, instead of calling him a twat online, I'd just do the simple thing and make him move to the bedroom so he can continue his snooze and you can enjoy watching TV.
