[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband snores like a freight train, which made a sleep divorce inevitable. We're overextended and can't handle lots of interrupted sleep, so we agreed it was necessary. We both miss the cuddling and emotional intimacy piece, and have to be mindful to address that in other ways. Until there's a cure for snoring, not much else we can do. (DH can't handle sleeping with a CPAP).[/quote]

Same. Could have written this post.[/quote]

Me as well. It’s not his fault - he’s healthy and active, he just sleeps on his back and snores like a freight train. Tried the CPAP, but pulls it off his face while asleep (and unconscious). He’s a good person and feels guilty that I have to choose between disrupted sleep or medicating myself, so he often sleeps in the guest room, particularly if I’m extra tired or have a big day coming up. It is what it is. I’m too old to sacrifice my wellbeing for night time bonding, and after 25 years of marriage we can handle it. And him choosing to move to the less comfortable bed (yes we need a new one) is a sign of a HEALTHY marriage. He’s putting my needs above his own and anticipating my needs without me having to ask him.[/quote]
