Let me sleep!

By ineed sleep!!! - 22/10/2019 20:00

Today, my boyfriend and I got into a huge argument when I suggested we start sleeping in separate rooms. He thinks I don’t love him anymore, but that’s not the case. I’m madly in love with him, but he snores like a freight train and thrashes like a fucking Ninja Turtle all night. FML

Today, I asked my boyfriend why he never wants to sleepover anymore. He said he loves me, but that sleeping next to me is like sleeping next to someone reenacting the crucifixion while being mauled to death by squirrels. So much for cuddling through the night. FML

Today, my new (and possibly ex) husband told me he is reconsidering staying married to me. He thinks my snoring is “so unlady like” and he can’t live the rest of his life sleeping with a “fucking Snorlax.” I’ve had sleep apnea since my mid 20s. FML

Bad omen

Today, my boyfriend of two years completely lost it because last night I told him I wanted to move to a less remote area so I can be independent. He shouted that I bring no money in, he has to do everything, and that I that I snore so loud he can hear me from downstairs where he sleeps. I'm pregnant. We are in our 40s. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I got into a massive argument. I suggested we have a movie night. He suggested an all day/night Star Wars marathon. I’d be OK, if it wasn’t for the fact that we’ve done that at least five times in the last two months. He says I’m the one being unfair. FML

Today, after finally falling asleep, my boyfriend woke me up and got extremely mad at me. My offense? My pillow was touching his side of the bed. After yelling at me, he's now sleeping on the couch, and I'm lying in bed wide awake. FML

Today, my girl and I got in a huge fight. Because I cuddled with her the wrong way. While I was asleep. FML

Today, it's 2am. I've been trying to get to sleep for the past two hours next to my snoring boyfriend. Every time I nudge him to shut him up, his body tenses, he farts, then goes straight back to snoring. FML

Today, my boyfriend’s bed is so uncomfortable that even after six months of not seeing him, I’m sleeping on the floor so I can actually get some sleep. FML

If it’s really that bad, perhaps you should get him to go to a doctor. He could have serious health issues with a sleep pattern like that.

He should probably be tested for sleep apnea, it's a serious health concern (can cause high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke). That said, one if the happiest married couples I know has separate bedrooms.

Record him, then he’ll understand and seek help or grant you your space

He needs to see a sleep doctor. There are many sleep disorders he could have that can be dangerous. My sleep apnea and my husband's sleep disorders are why he sleeps in a different room on nights he has to work the next day.

im reading this in my fold out cot where i sleep nightly cause my hubby is just as bad.. i had to record him sleeping and show him, with the volume properly loud so he wouldn't be upset with me always sleeping here. Remember our grandparents always had seperate beds and even seperate rooms, at least both of ours did. Anyhow were together 14 years now and still very much in love, you guys can make it!!

Sleep in another room one night while you record him. Play it back in the morning, I guarantee he will understand. You deserve your sleep as much as he does. and yes? have him see a doctor re sleep apnea

I snore and I’ll be the first to admit that is a reasonable request

I snore so much and me AND my bf flail in our sleep and steal covers. We slept separately for a long time. However, we decided to try getting 2 queen mattresses and push them together and get a noise machine. He sleeps with that going and ear plugs and we've both been so happy. Plus we get to brag to people about our 10 foot across bed lol.
