I have friends that are on the brink of a divorce, just because of snoring.

This has gone so far that they are sleeping in separate bedrooms, after only two years of marriage :eek:

Surely, in the 21st century, there is something to be done about such a simple problem!?
 
Go get it fixed by plastic surgeons i would imagine.

I have a mate and we actually went for a guys weekend a few months back and i know how he snores, so anyways i made sure i was not sleeping anywhere close to him :p

How his wife sleeps next to him every night is beyond me.
 
There are lots of solutions. They have this breath strip thing, spray, mouth guards - and in extreme cases surgery.

When I was working with young people you'd have a lot of outings together and sometimes you'd end up for a weekend with a snorer in the room. If there's lots of you in the room it's worse. You become completely non-functional. This one kid with sleep apnea...geez. So I can quite understand how it could fracture a relationship.

Yeah! They always say its a friend problem when they really mean its their problem.

Just own up! FFS!

Theres a quick op that can be done. Try a ENT specialist.
 
What's wrong with separate bedrooms? Pretty common in Europe. Both partners get a good night's sleep. Each can put the light off when they want, go to sleep when they want, wake up when they want, fart if they like, watch tv till the early hours - the list goes on. If a couple have hang-ups about being perceived as "abnormal" 'cos they sleep in separate rooms, then I think that's abnormal. Sleeping together is a different thing altogether from getting together for some rumpy-pumpy: you can do that anywhere - bedroom, bathroom, on the dining table, by the pool. This couple should accept that one of them snores, enjoy their sleeping apart, and get on with life.

My parents haven't slept in the same room in decades for the same reason - they both snore so they both keep each other up in intervals :p

I don't see how it's a problem. Being on the brink of divorce for something so minor seems pretty lame - especially if a relationship is that fickle.

Ah. Yea I couldn't do it ... but I understand all the reasons you've listed and it does make sense. But wow - the thought of not being able to roll over and grab your partners warm and smooth skin ... ?

Hmmmm
 
I snore like crazy and my wife and I resolved this by sleeping in separate rooms. If she wants some cuddle time its on one condition that she does not wake me up with the "Draai om, jy snork!!!!"

It works for me

I guess you are right, but after only two years of marriage? It's strange to this human :o

My thoughts exactly! I thought they were pulling my leg and I joked about it, until the wife burst out in tears :(

I'm gobsmacked by this whole issue: they are such a lovely couple.

Being apart from each other whilst you're asleep is not tantamount to being apart from each other in your relationship.

Is the snorer over weight? Snoring can develop from being too fat. Go to gym.
 
My Bro and his wife sleep in their own bedrooms on oppostite sides of the house, it's no big deal especially after they'd tried everything from earplugs to sleeping pills to that corrective surgery that worked for a maybe month or two.
 
It may be that a deeper problem exists which is not mentioned here, one of the two partners think a bedroom is for sleeping only and nothing else. The snoring may be an excuse.
 
Yea the only thing is surgery and even the success rate is not that high and the problem usually returns.

My boyfriend has some nights where he snores incredibly loudly where it's impossible for me to get to sleep. So i can understand going to another room.

+1. Getting divorced over snoring. Wow. It must have been true love from the start.
