Is my marriage on the rocks

For a few months now we have been sleeping in separate beds as hubby snores when he’s tired/had a few drinks and am a really light and sensitive sleeper. He just hit 50 and it’s got worse.
TBH I prefer sleeping on my own and waking up fresh. Only trouble is it’s got to be a bad habit and now in separate beds every night.
To be totally honest I would not be assed if I never had sex again.
I’ve got no sex drive and we argue a hell of a lot lately.
I’m reassessing my whole life (peri-menopause) but don’t want to cough up to my real feelings as I think it would split us up.
WWYD?

If your children have grown-up, set your husband free to find someone who will love him with some passion. Don't continue to keep him in a figurative cage.

I think I’d just focus on myself and my sleep for now. He should do the same and also stop drinking if it’s making him snore. How unattractive!! I think deciding to end a marriage while you are both tired and you are peri menopausal could be a huge mistake! Wait and reassess when things settle down

what are you arguing about? I’d post this on relationship board too ☺️

Divorce is rarely an easy process so know that's what you really want before you pull the pin.
See a counsellor together. You might still get divorced, but you've a better chance of doing it for the right reasons.

Difficult to tell from this snippet but ultimately you will need to talk to him about how you are feeling. He may feel the same or have come to the same conclusion or the discussion helps to create a positive solution. Better that than meandering on for the next 10 years.

Alternatively, how about the husband steps up and does more to excite his wife? Why is it all about the poor husband getting to move on to better things? Why is the OP undeserving of a decent sex life and a happy relationship? Maybe it's a issue that can be resolved if she still loves him. It's not all about men getting their sexual needs met and their wives getting less than they deserve.

We sleep in separate bedrooms but our marriage has only got stronger as a result. As we are no longer tired, we have a lot more sex and are no longer grumpy with each other!

It would appear you are no longer in love with your DH and either go to marriage counselling or split up.

Erm... well if I was that husband I doubt I'd feel inclined to 'step up' and 'excite' someone who I argue with all the time and who couldn't be arsed to have sex ever again, prefers sleeping on her own and has no sex drive.

Have u thought about HRT? Might be worth pursuing. I tried some gel from my friend as I was desperate and i felt like a different person in 24 hours!
