OP: Have you thought that perhaps if his snoring is bothering you that much, maybe you're just trying to get away from the feeling that he's not for you for whatever reason, and this is your rationalization? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems possible.

I personally never dumped anyone over snoring. I know yes sometimes it can stink, give him a slight shove and tell him to be quiet haha. Don't ask me why, but even in sleep that tends to get it to stop long enough to fall asleep yourself...

I snore when I'm very very tired or have drunk a little too much

I was woken up once by a gf beating me (hard) with her fists!!!! Ouch!

She'd had trouble sleeping for a few days and it was the last straw

Usually she'd just push me onto my side but had already done that a number of times before she lost it

OP: Yes I think it is wrong to get rid of guy for snoring - he can always get an operation if it's that bad and it's not just an occasional thing - or sleep in different rooms.

I'd say its a good reason. I would dump a guy if he was a bad eater. Biggest pet peeve is poeple who eat loudly, chew with their mouths open or talk with their mouths full. Any guy who does gets sent packing lol.


your such a dope for thinking this way...imagine all the sabatoge a women like this does to her own happiness

This is how I feel about it.

If you've only just found out, no.

If you have been suffering a long time, and repeatedly asked him to try to do what he can to overcome it, and he wont, then you have to decide where your values are. Is it hampering you (losing sleep and hurting your career or relations with others), then you have to decide if it is worth it or not to stay.

The quick answer is no, but as with any issue that the person refuses to address, you have a decision to make.

I was married to my second wife for 14 years before she died, and she put up with my snoring all that time and never said a word, because she said as long as she could hear me snoring I could not wake up and sneak out of bed without her knowing. She started using ear plugs along about the third year, and it muffled it enough for her to get sleep, but not enough that she could still tell I was there. I never did figure out why she thought I would sneak out of bed and leave. Just one of those crazy fears people have I suppose.. Maybe her first husband did that to her,, I dont really know. But all I know is ,, if you love him, or her, it is no reason to get rid of them. Kim and I always had a few laughs over how I snored, you should hear the tape....LOL....

Well a week and a half after surgery, not as bad as the Dr's said it would be, I had my tonsils taken out, my Uvula taken out, and my upper palette trimmed. I had a bad case of Sleep Apnea causing me to stop breathing at night, Snoring was terrible. Driving became dangerous, and it was affecting me at work too. $ days after the surgery My internal Alarm clock is back. And I"m more awake in the morning. I you happen to know anyone with Sleep apnea I'd sugest the surgery in a heart beat.

i was dating this guy * he snored LOUD and CRAZY* i couldnt stand it* i slept at his house one time and i had 2 get up and go 2 my own house* lol i wanna get rid of him because of this problem* hes a real good guy but the snorin bothers me


We ALL snore at one time or another...many things make one snore; it could be allergies, cinus problems, smoking, alcohol, etc. If he has the other good qualities you're looking for, why would one bad one make you want to get rid of him? There are many things on the market today to help people stop snoring...I'd look into those first before getting rid of him simply for snoring.

One question though...you said "I was dating this guy" and then you said "I wanna get rid of him"...are you still dating him or not?

yes bc its not his fault for snoring lol.

i snore and my guy said he does not mind...but then again i prolly do not snore as loud as the guy u were dating.

but dont get rid of him cause of the snoring, that would hurt his feelings a lot. bring it up and tell him to get some help for it. if he does then he cares about u. if he doesnt want to then he dont give a crap about u so u should just leave him.

I was married to a guy who snored like a chainsaw for 13 years. It made me tired because I cound not sleep. I tried to roll him over. I'd sneek out to sleep on the couch. he'd get mad. I tried ear plugs but it was too loud. It made him grouchy because I was always waking him up he said. He was waking himself up and me. We ended up in seperate rooms. We ended up divorced. He got a sleep apnea operation so his next girl would not leave and so he would feel better. I snore now! OH NO! And my boyfriend says if he just pinches me on the nipple a little bit I stop every time stretch out and snuggle up to him and he thinks that is just great and a little funny.

It's not wrong to dump a guy that snores if he refuses to acknowledge it or try to do anything about it...

My Dad snores louder than a lawnmower, a fact that cost my mother several hours of sleep every night of their marriage for the first 20 years, finally as she aged she just couldn't take it, and started sleeping in the living room, or once my sister moved out, her room next door.

It is aweful to be kept awake throughout the night, most people already lose an hour of sleep a night just by having a partner in the same bed, having one that makes continuous noise is even worse!

There are things that can be done, such as surgery to diminish the flap of skin in the back of the snorer's throat (sorry I'm no M.D. so I have no idea what the medical term is), there are sleep techniques, etc. I used to have my dad's snoring problem, but it seemed to be more related to when I was out of shape in my teens. Once I became fit I stopped snoring except for periods of extreme exhaustion where I was sleeping very deeply, and I managed to curtail that by training myself to sleep with my jaw clenched.

It sounds weird I know, but I just made a conscious effort to keep my jaw slighlty clenched as I was dozing off and it helped me learn to sleep with my mouth closed and breathe through my nose instead...

Now if only I could get my nose to stop whistling...

I find hitting them and yelling "SHUT UP" works quite well.

Be careful as you just might missing that snoring in the middle of the night. If you get rid of a man because he snores you don't love him and would be doing him a favor.

Love is loving not because they have no faults but in spite of their faults...especially something they probably have no control over of.

I found with my EX that when he snored I would just push him or hit him or something and then he would stop long enough for me to get to sleep. But I guess everyone is different cause that only worked with him, none of the others that snored lol
