Snoring woes - new on dating scene

[Jellyoctopus]

y ladies,

Looking for some advice – I’m about a year out of a long term relationship and am wanting to get back out there. Recently, however, I have developed a terrible snoring habit and I am so embarrassed by it and worried it will just be a huge turn off for anyone I start seeing.

Any words of advice would be welcomed!

Don't stay the night?

Seriously, my BF snores a bit. His ex-wife apparently made a massive issue out of it, which meant that the first time he "slept over" at my house, he actually stayed awake half the night out of worry (the silly bugger, i do love him!). The right person wont care that you snore.

Depends how bad the snoring is and why it has started; you could go to your GP to see if there's an obvious and easily - reversed cause perhaps.

My DH snores really badly and it does very much grind me down - if I move into the spare room it's still so loud that I struggle to sleep; I can even hear him when I am downstairs with the TV on or if I have gone to bed and he falls asleep downstairs it still wakes me!! The disturbed nights are absolutely awful and I feel permanently tired and actually resentful that he sleeps so soundly (irrational I know!!). When he is away for work I feel so well rested and full of energy just from being able to sleep.

It would be a deal breaker for me OP I'm afraid. There is absolutely nothing worse than the resentment of being woken and kept from sleep by a snoring partner.

“The right person won’t care if you snore”

The right person had better get used to a life of chronic sleep deprivation, then.

I used to be married to a snorer; he wouldn’t do anything about it and was terribly hurt if I wanted to sleep in a different room so I could achieve basic functionality the next day. It didn’t last. Separate beds and not being precious about your partner prioritising their health are the way to go.

Or, date another snorer and make a symphony.

I’m a snorer too I’ve only just found out. I feel deep shame and mortification. I’m single. Always have been and always will be. I use to love travelling and staying in hostels to meet people- sharing dorm rooms. I now know I’ll never be able to do that again and i’m quite sad. Sorry I have no comforting words. I am getting tested at a sleep clinic soon though.
