My snoring husband keeps me up at night

-

My husband and I have been happy together for more than 30 years, but over the past two years his snoring has constantly woken me up in the night. He has sought medical advice and tried many remedies, but to no avail. When his snoring wakes me up, it doesn’t seem to worry him if I get up and go to the guest room and try to get back to sleep. This continued pattern has made me miserable and irritable. I need uninterrup­ted sleep to get my life back and I think that I should move into the guest room for good. However, I’m worried that this will kill our loving relationsh­ip. There is no reason why moving into the spare room would kill your loving relationsh­ip. In fact, if you were getting more sleep and feeling less miserable, you would probably want to make love more – many marriages have been saved by having separate bedrooms. Explain to your husband that you love him very much and that you still want to make love often, but that you are getting so little sleep at the moment that you always feel miserable and exhausted. Then suggest that you might need to sleep separately. Tell him that you know it is not his fault. As he doesn’t seem too worried about you leaving in the middle of the night, it sounds as though he would understand.
