Help with a partner who snores

I have name changed (hopefully!) as both our families are on here

I am late 40s as is dp.

I got divorced almost 10 yrs ago and one of the reasons for divorcing exh was because he refused to deal with his snoring. It was so loud even our neighbours complained - you could hear him from the road even though our bedroom was at the back. It was a constant fight in our relationship - he said it was my problem because I was a light sleeper, I said his snoring was so loud, no one could cope. We had no spare room and I tried everything (ear plugs, bespoke ones etc etc) and nothing worked. I nearly got fired from my job as I fell asleep in an important meeting as I was so exhausted and it really had a catastrophic impact on my health and well being.

When I met dp I was delighted that he didn't snore and he was also loads more considerate than exh anyway. Then dp became v unwell and as a side effect put on weight that he's struggled to lose and the snoring has started. He will turn round in bed and he does admit he has a problem but I'm being woken up a few times a night.

He is trying to do things to snore less but it's not happening yet.

Apart from starting to sleep separately, does anyone have any tips? I don't want to be in a situation where it destroys my life again!

@SnoringDisaster I was keeping my bf awake half the night with my hog like snoring, I was mortified! I know I need to lose a lot of weight but the snoring seems to have gotten worse overnight. I did some research and bought a mouth guard that I put in at night. I really didn't think it would work but it has..100% improvement. I am no longer sleeping on the sofa or in the spare room, the level of sleep I'm getting is unreal, I feel like a different person yay! Happy to recommend which one I bought if you think it might helpSmile

@Lillipops would you kindly PM me what you got please?

Separate rooms. It's not worth the stress/arguments/lack of sleep.

Could you sleep in separate rooms say 5 nights out of 7 so you still have some nights together?

I’d love to hear too please, @Lillipops!

Tomed Somnoguard 3 | Anti Snoring Mandibular Advancement Device | NHS Recommended Anti Snoring Device |. I looked on the website britishsnoring.co.uk and did the test and this is what it recommended. Instant results, I was fed up floating about the house with my duvet trying to find somewhere to sleep lol!
