Not everyone who snores have it, but 99% do-- it can be a serious problem. Have him go to a sleep disorder clinic for a test. You might save his life. OxDrover RNP | |

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 7/25/2006 2:29:22 PM | | I don't remember my ex-husband's snoring being a problem at first, but once he got older than 35 it was ridiculous. Nose strips didn't work. Sleeping on his side didn't work. He must have had sleep apnea but...you know how men are about going to the doctor....he figures, it's not bothering HIM....so he didn't go. Most nights I slept on the couch, and I could still hear him in the living room through the closed door. HE was the one waking noise....and got to have the new comfy king sized bed all to himself while I slept on the narrow couch with the animals. Grrrrr! | |

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/17/2008 3:24:55 PM | i would push him off the bed but then i was living with him and he snored and i used to nudge him and he would turn so he didnt snore too so he got the hard or soft option but then he mainly snored because he drank so it was his own fault.
so yeah i would push him out the bed or get him to turn over, it worked for me | |

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/17/2008 3:33:02 PM | Get a videotape recording of his snoring, and tell him as sincerely as you can that while you love him dearly, you can't get any rest so ... it's either he gets some kind of help, or you'll have to sleep in another room.
Never mind pi**ing him off: you ought to be able to be honest for the sake of the relationship, not hide your feelings to avoid his possibly getting angry.
What is he, some kind of tyrant that you'd be afraid of a disagreement? If that's the case, you have a bigger problem than just his snoring, Darlin'. | |

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/17/2008 3:38:43 PM | | in relation to the above ladies comment it just got me thinking as she said but on a different level why dont you do a recording of him snoring and then when hes in bed asleep one night put the tape into a radio and blast it out next to him and see how quickly he wakes up then he may think about getting help lol | |

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/17/2008 7:07:30 PM | If snoring is the main reason......definitely yes, it IS wrong.
I'm going to second OXDrover's old advice.......The first step is a sleep clinic, to find out whether or not his snoring is sleep apnea......It can be fatal when the brain is not getting enough oxygen while asleep. It can be reversed with a CPAP sleeping machine!!!!
And, ya know what? If you're sleeping with him, honey, you should be able to discuss something like this "intimate" subject with him!!!!.
And, if ya REALLY care for him and want to stay with him, you will want to be helpful to him as he investigates the problem. If he doesn't even want to discuss it or investigate it, give some long, hard thought about whether this is the type of person you want to spend the rest of your life with. And, if you're not all that serious about him, then get up and walk away and go find yourself someone who makes you happier.
OR, simply use two bedrooms.....and, live happily ever after? Seems to me that you have many, many options other than leaving him....if you really want them.

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/18/2008 8:16:08 AM | May be you should just move on ??
But it may help you in the future and save a lot of time and effort if you made a big point in your profile about this then maybe you would not be bothered by any other guys that may snore, not bothering to get in touch with you.
At the same time why don't you think of other thing's that may upset you ?? and make a full list on your profile ???
Things Like :
Leaving the loo seat up !! not changing his sock's every day !! Likeing tomatoe sce instead of brown sce !! etc etc . . .
Me think's it would be far better to fully put down all of these things . .
but then to be fair maybe you should also put down on your profile all the things that some guy's may find hard to live with that you do ???
Best of luck | |

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/18/2008 11:07:35 AM | | If his snoring is bothering you, then try to find a solution for it. Maybe nose strips, ear plugs, changing his sleeping position, or taking some medication can reduce the snoring. If that doesn't work, then take him to a doctor. He might have sleep apnea or some similiar disease. | |

| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/18/2008 11:16:00 AM | | There are ways to help stop the snoring or at least make it less noticable. I mean talk to him about it and if he's willing to try a few things. | |
|
| is it wrong 2 get rid of a guy for snoring Posted: 2/18/2008 11:22:33 AM | | If you really loved him you could buy those nose strips to help him stop snoring. If not do what I did after being married for 40 years - got my own room. Now I just shut the door and go night night. Course if it a new relationship that isn't going to work so I would go for the truth and tell him and then present him with the strips. | |

Come on people, often it's a breathing disorder that can become quite serious if left unchecked.
If it's just a chronic annoyance, find a way around it and appreciate the stuff that's GOOD about your partner. There may come a day when you would give anything to hear them snore again.
It sounds to me like the one wanting to leave is picking on a less significant issue in order to avoid dealing with what's REALLY the problem. | |
