Snoring

[FroggingFantastic]

Sorry, I don’t know if this is the correct place to post.
My partner has broken/fractured his nose approx. 3 times, most recently about 6 months ago. For this reason he’s been snoring for years and years and struggles to breathe through his nose. When we first got together I was a light sleeper, it drove me nuts but I soon got used to it. I am now 6 weeks pregnant and I find myself being a light sleeper again, the problem is he’s waking me up every night, sometimes numerous times a night. I can’t even imagine what it will be like when we are sleep deprived with a newborn.

After the last bump he said he would visit the GP and the possibility of it being reset. Am I being mean/ unreasonable to ask him to see the GP? It’s totally not for vanity because I love him as he is but I can’t bear it much longer…

Has he been to see the GP. If not he needs to ask to see if they can actually do anything. It's not on to just ignore it with vague promises of speaking to the GP.

He absolutely needs to deal with this issue and would be very selfish not to do so.

Once you have a baby as well, you will soon be fantasising about holding a pillow over his face if he keeps you awake snoring (kind of joking, but it is utterly intolerable).

It's reasonable for him to see a GP/see if he can get referred to a sleep clinic. Being sleep deprived and your other half being the reason will be become a recipe for resentment and rows. Another option is to sleep apart but the risk us you both get used to it.

I could have written your OP - my DP mentions booking himself in at the Drs EVERY single time I inform him of the terrible nights sleep I've had due to the snoring. Does he ring the Drs? Nope.
I left the house and went and slept at my parents last night. I have to say, it was blissful. The whole kingsize bed to myself and absolute, total silence. Wow. I didn't realise how much my sleep was disrupted, and has been for 3 years..... until I slept alone.

If he's a respectful partner and you tell him his snoring is keeping you awake every night, and you're worried about what happens when you have a newborn, he'll decide to go to the GP himself, won't he?

I really do hate snoring, my husbands snores quite bad and I started to wear ear plugs, at first it was weird and wasn’t sure if I would ever get used to it, being a light sleeper aswell and thankfully I did get used to them and can’t sleep without them now x I use boots foam ones and they are so good x
