So I really don’t know what to do at this point. Long story short my partner and I have been together ~3 years but their snoring is ruining my life. I work in healthcare and sleep is one of the most valuable things I need to stay sane.
I have considered breaking up with them over this because it’s making me so miserable, but I’m conflicted.
Overall, I appreciate them. They’re generally caring and very supportive. We’ve had this snoring issue for about a year and we’ve tried everything we can to alleviate it. Earplugs, sleep apnea test (apparently she’s negative), white noise machine, nasal strips, and mouth tape.
We tried a mouthguard and it worked really well, but she doesn’t really wear it because “it hurts her jaw” and shes afraid she’s going to get an underbite from it..
Now if she was completely unwilling to compromise to help me, I would break up with her right now. But she’s trying and clearly cares so it’s a complicated situation. However, periodically she gets upset with me and tells me I am overreacting, which sort of invalidates the former sentiment at times.
We live in a HCOL area and can only afford a one bedroom at the time, so sleeping in separate rooms isn’t an option for us.
What do I do? I am so helpless at this point.
TLDR: where do you draw the line for breaking up over snoring/sleep deprivation?
