he doesnt do anything about his snoring?

ive asked him tonight to see a doctor.

he said "whatever"
i said does that mean you will then?
he said "dunno"

he only has friday/saturday nights off as rest of week he works nights.
i suspect thats why our marriage has lasted 19 years....
he snores. each week i end up on a mattress (a cheap one!) on DDs floor.
this week ive asked DD to sleep with me and he can have DD s bed so i can get some sleep. ive now one grumpy DH and one grumpy teenage DD.

i swear to god if he doesnt go and get his snoring sorted im going to do something he might regret. i dunno what yet. but ill think of something. painful.

can he lose weight?

Meglet · 21/05/2010 22:25

He has to get it sorted. It's not fair on you .

ZZZenAgain · 21/05/2010 22:25

get him one of those jugs for pouring warm salted water in one nostril and out out the other.

unpleasant but could work.

ZZZenAgain · 21/05/2010 22:28

here

you don't need a fancy packet or anything, jsut boiled water left to cool till it's warm and salt to a degree that is comfortable. Tip of a knife or more.

ThatVikRinA22 · 21/05/2010 22:29

ive tried sticking one of those snoring strips on his hooter - that didnt work.

i think its a bit beyond over the counter stuff tbh. since ive known him his nose has always seemed to be totally blocked.

he is doing my head in. in lots of ways. lately.

ThatVikRinA22 · 21/05/2010 22:35

throat spray could be worth a try. i just wish he would care enough to not want me to sleep on a cheapo mattress on a floor - but noooooo.

he might use it if i go and buy it. (he bloody well wont.)

you need to invest in a sofa bed if you want your marriage to last.

ThatVikRinA22 · 21/05/2010 23:26

yeah ive thought that too custy. its just ive got a natuzzi leather corner group which im loathed to ditch as it cost the earth and i love it. plus we are skint atm.

lady i do wake him up but he gets really grumpy.

i just nipped upstairs for something and i could hear him, zzzzzz in away. oblivious.
he is a lazy git and needs a rocket up his arse before he will do anything.

maybe when i serve him divorce papers he will get the message. one day i think it may well come to that.

I think snoring is a fact of life, you may snore, but as it doesn't wake your dp up you would never know.

My dp snores, not constantly, but still annoyingly (I probably snore too but he is a heavy sleeper). We hardly ever sleep together, don't see the big deal? Would rather sleep on the sofa than listen to snoring.

I actually think snorers are the majority, it only becomes a problem if one of you is a fragile/light sleeper (like me).

Just sleep apart.

ThatVikRinA22 · 21/05/2010 23:45

so im supposed to spend the rest of my life on a mattress on the floor then am i?

i dont have a spare room or a spare bed. sleeping apart means me sleeping on the floor.

Poshwellies · 21/05/2010 23:52

kick him out of the bed..let him sleep on the floor,sod whether he works night shifts or not.

He can't be bothered to sort his health problems out,let him sleep on the fucking floor until he has inclination to go the gp.

WillowM2B · 21/05/2010 23:59

OMG, I could have written this thread.

My DH is very close to physical harm unless he does something about his snoring. I am sat downstairs with crappy music channel on TV right now just to drown out his fucking snoring. Really, really not wanting to go to bed even though I am tired. At the moment I need absolute silence to drop off.

I am 33 weeks pregnant so mighty fucking pissed off, hot, miserable and not sleeping well at the best of times. I actually got up the other night and slept in one of my DC's empty bed - Why the fuck did I get up???????

He used that throat spray which didnt really work that well but did at least give me a few hours sleep but did he replenish it when finished? No. Its not his problem obviously.

Aaargh.

IMoveTheStars · 22/05/2010 00:10

Willow - you'd be completely within your rights as a very pregnant lady to boot him in the head to wake him, drag his semi-conscious body downstairs, and take the bed for yourself.

OP - it's so difficult. Does he smoke?
