Snoring driving me mad

Dh has snored for 16 years of marriage.
I'm at the end of my tether it's making me loathe him. It's revolting.
I do go and sleep in spare room but after 5 years of doing that I've had enough, now he's in the spare room.
He has no inkling of the impact of years of broken sleep on me, but I snapped and told him last night.
I feel I want to smash his snoring face in.
Has anyone else been in this position

Has he ever been to the GP re this matter?. I take it as read he has not seen a doctor to date. He should do because he may have sleep apnoea. I would record him whilst sleeping and play these sounds to the GP yourself.

Yes he has been to gp but not recently is going back this week.
I too think it could be sleep apnoea.

Is he over weight? Drinks? Lies on his back?

2014newme · 06/06/2017 11:48

Not overweight
Does drink a couple glasses per night
Snores in any sleeping position

Has he tried those nose strips that open up the nasal passages? For some people they work really well. You have my sympathies. I'd want to smash in his dumb snoring face, too.

Thanks aquamarine.
We've just been on holiday with no escape route as sharing a room.
It was the straw that broke the camels back.
I don't think he has tried the strips.

The breathe right snoring nasal strips stopped me murdering my partner. He must without fail sleep on his side though

My ExH used to snore.
But he was overweight and unhealthy.
It was years of torture.
I used to sleep in the spare room as well.
I tried earplugs amongst other things.
Nothing worked.
It was pure bliss when he moved out.

It is like torture it's vile and tiresome

I sympathize. It's hard to love someone when you spend half the night fantasizing about shoving a pillow over their face!

My DH found a phone app, which analysed his snoring and confirmed likely apnoea, and then he took action. He now uses a nasal spray and a gum guard, and they make loads of difference. He feels better as well, and I actually get some sleep!
