Snoring

Ahhh i didn't read that part. To add a little weight to my argument they are only on the brink of divorce and haven't actually divorced. :p

She's picked up some weight after the birth of her baby, but not much.
She certainly does not have weight problems.

So... basically HE'S the one with the problem? As in he's a light sleeper or whatever and her snoring wakes him up?

Well.. The guy sounds like a colossal prick if he's made his problem hers to such an extent that she'd burst into tears because of it. She obviously feels as though it's her fault....

I'd say have him try sleeping pills (preferably with a doctor's consent) and if that doesn't work and they refuse to sleep in separate bedrooms and it's such a big deal, then they'll just have to accept the fact that "it's not working."

Relationships generally hold together because of two things called "love" and "commitment." It's why people stay together through thick and thin, but it has to come from both sides.

And, seriously, if they're on the brink of divorce because of something as laughable as snoring and they can't come up with a compromise... Well, life has much bigger hurdles they need to cross and if they can't cross the small ones then they'll never manage the big ones.
 
OK, it's a bit clearer now. She snores, he can't stand it (can't sleep) and has gone to sleep in another room. She's upset, feels rejected. I'm guessing a lot of blame might go to the husband, perhaps because instead of saying:

"My darling, I love you so much , but I really need my sleep. We can cuddle and stuff, and have breakfast in bed, but when the lights go out I'll toddle off to my own bed and we can both sleep in peace - me not having to listen to your snoring, and you not feeling bad about keeping me awake."

...He probably said:

"Dammit woman, shut the F@@@ up, I can't sleep!"

Edit: Looks like Lycanthrope beat me too it - must learn to type faster.

Thank you BTTB!!!

At last! Someone addressing the original question and not going off on a tangent about who has what issues...

At least, now I have a reference as what to search for!

Please dont ask if it works yet, as it is too early for me to say. :)

Again, thank you for the information.

How long does it take before it starts working?

On a scale from 1 to 10, how uncomfortable is the post procedure experience?

Glad I could help.

For anyone in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town (Claremont specifically) who might need a contact, just send me a Private Message and I can give you the Doctor's name who did my procedure. I suspect any Ear Nose and Throat Specialist will be familiar with this procedure.

I was in and out within 20 minutes. Follow up is a course of 10 x Antibiotic Pills and some pain pills if needed, which I took only in the first two days. On a pain scale - 1 to 2 out of 10. Very minor discomfort Dixie.

Thank you for the quick response BTTB.

At the risk of sounding anal, how long before results are noticed?

I really cannot say Dixie. The pillars that are inserted need to settle down. Scar tissue forms around them and this stiffens the soft palette which is what causes snoring.
I think a lot depends on the passage between your tongue, the soft palette, the tonsils and the back of the throat.

One of the bigger problems are for people that have Obstructive Sleep Apnea further down their throats as they will gasp for breath also giving off a snoring tone.

One must differentiate the two disorders, although I think it is highly possible to have both.

I hope this helps.
Happy Sleeping! :);)

Ok, I know I can build cathedrals when I snore. If I'm drunk it's even worse, because I can't speak Afrikaans when I wake because my soft temple is so sore from the snoring I can't pronounce the g.

But me and the wife have been so long together that she can't fall a sleep with out my snoring. I tend to fall a sleep before her. When I start to snore she then tell me to turn on my side and my snoring becomes subtle and then she can sleeps. If I'm not home she can not sleep and only gets an hour or so sleep in. You don't want to be in her path if she hadn't had her beauty sleep!

So snoring has actually helped my relationship, go figure.
 
Just happened upon this thread linked from another...my 2c....sleep in seperate bedrooms. That's what me and my lady do ;)

/waves at Dixie!!!
/tackles Dixie onto the MyBB couch
/hands Dixie a cookie and heads back to work

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!?

She is looking for an excuse to leave him. If she loved him she would have helped him not divorced him. Google is her friend.

I have this. I'll be looking to have this procedure done to me as well.

Being kicked out of a room by two girls because of your snoring isn't good for one's self-esteem.
