We have been married for eight years and have two children. I am annoyed by many things in my husband, but most of all by his selfishness and adherence to dubious traditions. He believes that husband and wife must sleep in the same room and under the same blanket! Otherwise, what kind of family is it?
But my husband snores, turns over in his sleep, I can not get a good rest, but he can not understand it. I’m tired all day, irritated at everyone, because I do not sleep chronically. But when I told my husband that I will sleep separately, he immediately suspected me of cheating. So he said: “You already have someone, so just say so.
I was surprised, to put it mildly, by his argument that our grandparents slept in the same bed, so marriages were strong and there were no divorces. He gave the example of his parents, too. But they lived in a one-room apartment! What kind of separate sleeping arrangements were there? Grandparents also shared a room with their children. They didn’t have a choice, unlike us with our two-room apartment. So why am I not entitled to a comfortable night’s sleep?
A friend advises inviting someone in the family who also snores loudly, and put in my husband’s room, let him listen to what it’s like to sleep to such “music”. But we do not have those, and the good, if the husband falls asleep, barely his head touches the pillow.
I’m not surprised that people can get divorced over such seemingly insignificant things as a loud snoring spouse. I’m already on the verge of it.
