[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I struggled over the past year. I had untreated sleep apnea and had been sleep deprived for so long that I turned into a raging lunatic. It was awful for both of us, and it did some damage to my marriage. I have my cpap now and am doing sooooo much better, but the damage to the relationship is done and a slight disconnect remains.

I'm just trying to do everything I can for him, with an emphasis on the little things. If I'm home before he is and see that he is out of the fruit he takes to work every day, I'll go to the store and get it. When he says "Ugh, I don't feel like it, but I'm out of fruit and need to go to the store," I can smile and tell him I got it for him. On weekends I get up earlier than he does and walk the dogs; he had been doing it every morning for a couple of years as I struggled unable to get up in the morning. I'm doing my share of the chores, which I didn't do for a long time, plus more. I'm joining him on the couch to watch tv, even when I'd rather be doing something else. I'm giving a lot of hugs. He works from home on Fridays and if I'm home from work as well I'll go out and get a snack/treat that is one of his favorites and take it down to him. Small things to nurture connection.  It is starting to work for sure.
