Snoring like a Wilderbeast

I love my partner dearly but omg the snoring that has developed over the last few years is really getting to me. I know he can't help it but I got woken every night multiple times. It used to just be when he was on his back or after a few beers now its the second hes asleep every breath. I ask him to turn on his side which reduces it but is still making whistling sound. He's currently asleep downstairs and I can hear the snoring from 2nd floor. One holiday last year was almost unbearable as the snoring was full volume all night I contemplated sleeping in bath or outside on a sunbed to get away from it as I was living on about 4 hours broken sleep an night. I buy nasal strips that dont seem to do much, i put on white noise to try and drown it out, I have ear plugs I still hear it. I cannot escape the rhythmic sounds and I wake up feeling almost resentful to him some mornings and feel instant rage when it starts knowing it will continue. Im not an angry person at all its the sleep depravation - it could be used as torture method! I dont want to sound horrible as I know its not done on purpose but I find it grim and dont know what to suggest or try anymore. I often end up getting up and laying on sofa in attempt to get rest and end up with knackered back. Has anybody got any tips or advice please? Thank you so much x

He needs to see a Dr and get checked for sleep apnoea. If he’s overweight he may need to lose weight to reduce this too. You can’t live like this.

i ended a marriage to a snorer because it was torture.

Omg, you have my full sympathy.
That would be absolute torture to me as I'm very noise sensitive at night, how on earth have you put up with it for so long?

It has to be a visit to a doctor, maybe referral to a consultant....it needs to be addressed and sorted asap.
