I love him to pieces but oh my god I'm ready to smother him with a pillow.

It's not snoring necessarily but it's a loud clicking sound that he makes when he breathes at night because he has his mouth wide open and I can't FUCKING STAND IT ANYMORE.

I never wanted to be someone who slept separately from their partner but it really is making me so grumpy at night.

Once it starts I can't focus on anything else, he'll stop for maybe two minutes and then it starts up again. Nudging him only works for a few minutes then it's back. I could seriously cry, I'm spending another night on the sofa tonight.

I have ear plugs but tbh they are painful, I end up with sore ears and have to take them out. Does anyone have any recommendations for good ones?

My last nerve is slowly being shredded 😵

My ex had horrendous snoring issues. It was so bad he had several small operations to try and cure it. They only worked for a short while. I sympathise with you so much as I would go down stairs and cry a lot as I could still hear him from anywhere in the house and earplugs didn’t help. My job required me to be rested as it involved emergency situations. Sadly my health began to suffer and the relationship ended because of his snoring and my lack of sleep affecting my profession. I suggest sleeping separately until he is diagnosed and has something to sort his snoring out. Your health and mental well being will continue to suffer greatly if you don’t act proactively now. All the best x

To stop the soreness, use vaseline around the ear plug and just the outer part of your ear canal. Me and my partner both snore so we both have to wear earplugs. I got soreness and it stopped using vaseline. Also using fortuna bright pink ear plugs. They are so good and so comfy.

My gentleman has sleep apnea, holds his breath, at 3.00am it makes one think he has stopped breathing, Panic!
Now sleep apart, we often snuggle together first, then he goes off to other room. Or I visit him in morning.
We both happier.

Nasal dilator? I can't breathe through my nose and when i first tried one it was amazing, it cured my constant yawns as I was breathing properly,

cheap easy

Try headphones with soothing sounds or the pink and yellow earplugs which are comfy. My DP is a snorer too. He tried stuff then stops bothering.
