This 30-year-old woman and her 30-year-old husband have spent the past 7 years together, but now there’s something that’s come between them, and she says it’s literally ruining their marriage: her husband’s snoring.

Her husband has snored as long as she has known him, but in the beginning, her husband snored badly only when he was sick.

Over the years, her husband’s snoring has gotten worse, and now it’s to the point where she just can’t deal.

Her husband has tried nose strips, and he even got a mouth guard that his dentist gave him, but those things never helped his snoring.

She and her husband have also tried putting a humidifier in their bedroom, but that hasn’t helped either.

Her husband has also experimented with sleeping on his back or on his side, but that doesn’t fix his snoring, let alone lessen it.

She finally came across a video of different exercises you can try with your tongue in an effort to help solve snoring, but even though she sent it to her husband, he wasn’t invested in trying that out.

“He makes some effort, but I don’t think he understands what this is doing to me,” she explained. “I hate sleeping next to him, and it makes me hate being in our bed together at all.”

She is completely exhausted all the time from lack of sleep, and she also is beginning to harbor animosity towards her husband for not being able to sleep for hours on end every night.

“I’ll wake up and see if I can go back to sleep through it,” she said. “If I can’t, I nudge him to change positions. If this happens enough times, he gets irritated, saying he can’t help it and I should let him sleep.”

“I use earplugs and spend much of the night with my pillow wrapped around my head which is uncomfortable. I’ll be up for hours in the night each night just trying to get back to sleep through constant snoring.”

Her husband is beginning to believe his current weight could be why he’s snoring so badly, but she doesn’t have time to wait around for him to drop some pounds and find out if that alleviates his snoring problem.

Her husband has gone to the doctor too about his snoring, but his doctor isn’t really taking the problem as “as seriously” as she wishes.

She also suspects her husband could have sleep apnea, though his doctor never requested that he take a test to find out.

“What do I do?” she wondered. “I’m so angry at him all the time because I’m not sleeping.”
