A woman who struggles to get back to sleep once she's been woken up says she ended up 'snapping' at her husband for repeatedly waking her whenever she starts to snore. According to this woman, she's had 'countless conversations' with him about this and has told him repeatedly to stop.
In turn, he's promised he won't do it anymore, only to break his promise time and time again. To her great frustration, he's even admitted that he continues to do it despite her pleas because the number of times she simply rolls over and goes back to sleep far exceeds the number of times she snaps at him.
This back-and-forth argument has been going on for years, and she says she's recently reached the end of her tether, not trusting her husband to just let her sleep.
Taking to Reddit, where she goes by the username u/IntelligentWrap5422, the fed-up wife said: "I do not want to sleep separately all the time just because of it, but he is welcome to go sleep on the couch if he wakes up because of my snoring.
"I hate being woken up because I can hardly ever go back to sleep. Even when my baby was a few months old, I mostly couldn't go back to sleep once awoken.
"So I hate it and I snap real hard. I started making his night miserable, as well, because, you know, if I stay up because of you, then I might drag you with me. I am very p***** at this moment."
Once again, her husband has promised not to wake her up anymore, but she just doesn't believe him. Although she does find his habit annoying, she does feel bad about snapping at him and just isn't sure how to deal with the situation going forward.
After reaching out for advice, a number of fellow Reddit users urged the unnamed woman to seek help for her snoring and to consider the issue from her husband's perspective.
One person commented: "Your husband is already having a rotten sleep, but you think you are the one that’s hard done by for occasionally being woken up?
"Snoring is often the sign of a medical issue. See a doctor, or get a place with two bedrooms so you can both sleep in peace."
Another suggested: "Get your a** to a doctor. Your right to a night’s sleep does not supersede his right to a night’s sleep."
