My partner and I are both in our mid 30s and have a reasonable 5 year relationship. His issue within our relationship is my snoring. I'm not loud or consistent, but they are a light sleeper so the random snorts wakes them up. This has been for most of our relationship atleast from when I felt comfortable to sleep next to them. So most nights I sleep in a separate room and he HATES this. He is sad that we don't feel connected, that we aren't randomly intimate in the night and that we can't take trips without having to purchase a separate room. I've tried it all and nothing worked. I need to lose weight and then I'll get the operation but until then this is life. Anyway to right now, 3.19am. We took a weekend trip away with friends and are sharing a room. Amd of course I've snored each night. Each time I make the slightest of sounds (sometimes not even a sleep yet) he gives me a squeeze, or a tight hug or strokes my face. Night two of this I was ready to fight him because all I see that gesture as is him wakening me up so he can sleep. So I made a bed on the floor with my blanket and pillows. He hated that and I thought it was because i stopped trying to share the bed. Night 3, I am in the bed, face taped in all possible ways to open my nasal passages and to close my mouth and still being woken every 10-20 mins. So after 1.40am when he wakes me again and TELLS me that I'm snoring loudly quickly (even though he knows that if he let's me go through a single sleep cycle without disruption my snoring drops ). I sat up in the bed so he could sleep and I could keep myself away, 5 mins go by and he's snoring. For the next 25 minutes I slowly move my blanket, pillows and self on the floor inching with every snore sound so I know I won't wake him up. I get to the uncomfortable floor, my lower back is hurting and I can still hear him snoring but I feel a sense of freedom. As I settle over the next 10-15 minutes I contempt writing on this sub because I'm really pissed that it's taken me this long to reason his cute cuddles was him Choosing himself over me. I understand his frustration but I don't intentionally snore, I don't intentionally wake him up. I've spent all this money on things that make me look ridiculous or feel uncomfortable to be able to share a bed with him. In all of these 3.5 years he's tried ear plugs once and head phones twice. Days and weeks I've consistently tried this things, recording myself at night. Anyway I'm rambling. I finally dozed off for less time than it took to slip off the bed before I was jolted awake by my loving parter at 2.51 as I am "still snoring and can't be reached to be woken up if on the floor". I didn't get back on the bed, I am sat upright leaning against the radiator to keep myself away so he can sleep while he still snores. So am I sleep deprived or aita?
