To make DP sleep on couch?

[lilacclaire]

DP is a terrible sleeper, he tosses and turns to the extent that I feel I am getting 'bounced' lying next to him (he's a bit overweight), he snores and grunts very loudly, as a result I usually get a terrible sleep and have been kept awake for hours with this until I give up and go to the couch (he's totally asleep, although occasionaly wakes himself up).

Yesterday after another terrible night, I told him he had to sleep on the couch (he usually stays up later than me) and I had the best sleep i've had in ages. Needless to say he's in the huff with me for making him sleep on the couch (what about the nights ive spent there!!!!)

Now I do not want to sleep in the same bed as him again, i am going to suggest me taking the youngest ds (4) in with me and he can sleep in his bed if he doesn't like the couch.

AIBU? I need my sleep surely!

Hopefully he'll be a man about it and accept that his snoring his causing her to have no sleep, and then move onto the sofa of his own accord until such time as the single beds arrive. Perhaps she had to ask him - perhaps he wasn't forthcoming in his offer?!

like your idea of two single divans! hope it works x

sympathies from me too - dh is a dreadful snorer and it was getting worse every week, it seemed. He has been in the spare room for ages now - his choice as well as mine, so we could both get some sleep - he was being woken by me thumping him every 10 minutes!

Anyway, he went to the dr's and had a procedure done - basically his soft palatte is too big for his mouth (!) so the doc injected something into his palatte which would cause scar tissue that will essentially reduce the size of the palatte..apparentyl this works in 85% of cases...

lo and behold - the snring has all but stopped. He's still in the spare room but that's more to do with having a newborn and him getting up for work at 5am. But the snoring won't be an issue when it's time for him to come back to the marital bed...

Although I must admit - I much prefer having the bed all to myself....

Suggest you make up the two divan as a double - ie double sheet and double duvet. That's what they do in Germany as routine I'm led to believe. It will help to solve the bouncing problem but not interfere with the lurv side of things. You won't be able to tell the difference by looking at it - it will just look like a double.
