That's so funny, it sounds almost verbatim to a conversation my H and I had.
His father is on a CPAP machine, so eventually he probably will be too. So far though his Dr. isn't advocating one and for the most part he's doing much better. I think quite a bit of his particular problem was that he'd let himself get too stuffed up at night...and then of course his position of choice is flat on his back, which doesn't help the situation.
So...we had a good talk about it one night back when I was pregnant and had a hard enough time sleeping because of the baby...not to mention everytime I'd doze off he'd start up AAAAGGGHHH!!!
So I explained he had three options!
#1 One of us sleeps in the other bedroom (which neither of us wanted to do.) #2 Try different things, sinus sprays, vaporizers etc. to see if any of that would help. #3 Live with a sleep-deprived, pregnant, red-head and take his chances....afterall he had to fall asleep sometime right?
Fortunately this wise man opted for choice #2 LOL. Things are actually much better now. It also helps that now we've come to an understanding, he now knows I don't lay in wait for him to snore, that I only wake him up when he's really raising the rafters. So now he tells me to let him know when he's snoring really bad and he'll sleep on the couch or wherever (without giving me attitude). It's a rare occurrance now, and sometimes I just go ahead and sleep on the couch instead of waking him up....but no more attitude about it, from either of us.
