A woman was mortified to discover her husband had recorded her snoring to play back to her because 'he can't cope much longer'.
The man also suggested they sleep in separate rooms because he could no longer put up with her 'loud' snoring.
The wife took to the Mumsnet Am I Being Unreasonable forum pleading for advice with a post titled: "Snoring is damaging our relationship."
She wrote: "I'm the snorer, I have no idea when I am doing it and last night, for example, thought I was fine. However I kept dh (darling husband) awake again, all night.
"He even recorded it this time so I could hear it, is sooo loud. I've tried propping myself up, used nasal strips last night, tried sprays but I don't know what else to do. He is talking of separate rooms soon as can't cope much longer.
"I am not overweight, I have a glass of wine most evenings but even if I have no wine I snore. Getting me down too as I am unaware of it and sleep very deeply. Anyone got any advice????"
One woman was sympathetic to her situation.
Do you have to put up with a snorer? Tell us in the comments
She said: "I'd try not drinking for a week or two and see if that helps. If not then ask your GP. My OH refuses to see the GP about it and it's putting our relationship at serious risk."
Another person responded: "Have you been to the GP? You can't just stop snoring as it's not under voluntary control. But there are medical interventions to try, and it would be very unfair on your DH if you did not do so."
Another suggested that separate rooms wasn't a bad idea.
She said: "If you have separate rooms then do that. My dh and I sleep separately, we're still very close but we both get our 8 hours and it makes us much happier."
Another advised that she should give up the wine for a week to see if that helped.
They wrote: "Alcohol is a muscle relaxant. It might well be having an effect on the tissues in the back of your mouth etc.
"Is there an option for you to give up the daily wine intake for five to seven days or so and see what effect that has? If you're not prepared to do that then you might need to go round the houses to find the real answer instead."
Another person agreed: "Drinking wine daily, hmm not a good idea snoring or not. Try stopping the wine and see if that helps."
