My husband kept me sleep-deprived for years. Snoring, night-time couching due to excessive smoking, loud message notifications at night (his family in friends are in UK and we are in Australia, so due to time difference when it is night here his FB keeps binging but he refused to switch the sound notifications off - they don't bother him so mustn't bother me either according to him).
Ear plugs didn't help. He refused to consider anything for his snoring either. Got annoyed when I tried to roll him over or pull his pillow to get him to turn his head - would kick, or vigorously shake my pillow in revenge, or respond with loud "WHAT?!!!" which would guarantee that I'm not able to quickly go back to sleep after that for a while.
Don't know why I put up with this for so long. Guess I was conditioned to avoid doing or saying anything that would cause him to be displeased. When I complained in the morning he'd be annoyed or angry, so I was sort of avoiding to bring it up over and over. Or was it just a mental fog from constant sleep-deprivation maybe? I can see it clearly now - I should have firmly stated that this is not acceptable, and anything other than prompt and sincere apology plus appropriate action would mean LTB, right? So easy now... but somehow unthinkable back then...
Anyway. One of those nights he got particularly annoyed with me being woken up by his snoring for the fifth time and tugging on his pillow to get him to roll over. He yelled at me to F@# off. And then it finally clicked, so I did exactly what he asked - F@#d off. Got up, took my pillow, moved to another room. Never slept in the same bed with him. Two+ years of blissful, uninterrupted sleep, in a bed that's all mine and all to myself)))
He threw tantrum over tantrum because of this. "This is not a family! This is dysfunctional! Married couples sleep together! I can't take this any more! I feel not loved" blah blah... In the beginning I was repeating over and over "It's not that I don't love you, I just need my sleep". Tried to explain about sleep deprivation and how horrible it is. Useless. Still kept on with this tantrums. Did make me see in the end how little he cared about me, my health, what the sleep deprivation must do to me etc. He couldn't care less. Just wanted his "married couples sleep together" thing.
Finally, told him last year that I want a divorce. He's super-nice now, but it is too late.
