How to solve the problem of snoring?
What causes snoring? What can be done to solve this problem? Will medication or slimming down help? My partner is very disturbed by my snoring that he can’t even get to sleep until 4 or 5am! The worst part is, he keeps disturbing me in the middle of the night, scolding and irritating me in the hope that I will stop snoring when it just won’t! The results: I always end up without a peaceful night of sleep and feels tired the next day. Worst still, I’ve overslept and got late for work! Help! What kind of method can help? I really need a good night’s sleep but my partner really irritates me. Our relationship has turned soured over this issue as I told him straight in the face that I’m extremely irritated to be disturbed repeatedly in the middle of the night while he says he just can’t get to sleep!!!
As you doze off and progress from a lighter sleep to a deep sleep, the muscles in the roof of your mouth (soft palate), tongue and throat relax. If the tissues in your throat relax enough, they vibrate and may partially obstruct your airway. The more narrowed your airway, the more forceful the airflow becomes. Tissue vibration increases, and your snoring grows louder.
Although in itself snoring is not necessarily dangerous, it may be a symptom of sleep apnea or other sleep disorders –Sleep apnea is usually obstructive; that is, the breathing passage is blocked between the nose and the voice box. If sleep apnea is severe enough, the oxygen in the bloodstream which is reaching the brain and other vital organs may fall to dangerous levels.
It is important to see your MD to discuss the treatments that are available.
Almost all treatment for snoring revolves around clearing the blockage in the breathing passage. This is the reason snorers are advised to lose weight (to stop fat from pressing on the throat), to stop smoking (smoking weakens and clogs the throat), and to sleep on their side (to prevent the tongue from blocking the throat).One method of treatment is not the answer for all patients with snoring and/or sleep apnea, and more than one treatment modality may be required.

Snoring! Help! Anyone know any ideers?
Ugh…I am a female…and my husband says I snore terrible. Before you ask, yes I am overweight, but I have always been overweight, and within the past year my snoring has gotten worse and worse.
I have tried: Snorenz…breathe right strips, blowing my nose really good before I go to sleep, Afrin to help clear my sinuses so I can breathe easier, moving my pillow around in different positions, so my head is in different positions. And nothing seems to improve it.
I will note that I am extremely tired, when I wake up I feel no more rested than I did before I went to sleep. I am under a great deal of stress due to finances (we could lose our house) and so forth. Could this be making it worse? The stress I mean?
Please help…any suggestions would be helpful…before my husband either leaves me or starts sleeping on the couch or in the dog house!
You should check to see if you have sleep apnea. If so there are devices that can help with the snoring and that can help you have a good nights sleep. The devices are not very attractive to wear and can be uncomfortable, but I think you should consider that secondary to your health and to your relationship with your husband. Also know that it is not uncommon for spouses to start the night off together in the same bed and for one to move to another room or couch because of the snoring.
Stop snoring and save you marriage and your ……

Believe me, relationships are not ruined by irreconcilable differences, third parties or simply falling out of love. Some relationships are ruined by yep, snoring. Studies show that 23% of couples suffer from snoring problems. In fact, 80% of couples usually end up sleeping in various rooms due to the fact they cant stand, once again yestheir partners snoring.
But extra than the danger of ruined relationships, snoring can also lead to a serious case of Obstructive Slumber Apnea, a condition common among the depressed and those who are usually exhausted. Rest apnea can improve blood pressure, reducing the flow of oxygen to the brain and eventually, leading to stroke, heart attack or even worse, death.

lack of sex drive but i caught him masturbating is there something wrong?
I am 5 months pregnant with mine and my husbands 3rd baby but i can’t help but wonder what is wrong with him or our marriage for that matter. For the past couple of months our sex life is been very dry…maybe once a week and often its a quickey which is not like us at all. My hormones have been all over the place so there have been times where i havent felt like sex but i make the effort any way. He never comes to me (sexually) he is always to tired after working 12 hour days with his new job (he started it a couple of months ago) as soon as we hit the pillow hes snoring. On weekends he goes to bed in the am hours where i have been in bed for hours…… still no effort. I have spoken many times to him about this and he reasured me that its not me he is just warn out which of course i took his word for it. About aweek ago though he came home had dinner straight away then hoped in the shower to where i cought him having a toss. I was deepley offended and he thought i was "over reacting". After him knowing that i feel unattractive being pregnant and him not making any moves he does this!! Since then i have made dinner for the two of us when the kids went to bed to have "our" time and tonight i invited him into the shower when the kids went to bed. Still nothing from him! I have made the moves many time this week but from him not a budge. Is it me? Why would he turn to "mrs palmer" then his wife when our sex life needs improving? Men can i have your thoughts as i wonder if there is more to this lack of sex and making moves then meets the eye.
There have been times in my marriage also where the sex life has been a bit infrequent and I too caught my man with mrs palmer I chatted to him about it and he said the reason he did this and not approach me is realy because he is just so tired and as selfish as what it sounds it was just easier to get it over and done with in the shower, hopw this helps!

should i leave him or stick it out?
(this is going to be long)
i have been with my fiance for almost 2 years. we have an 11 month old son together. while sometimes he is great and we get along fine, other times i just want to kick him to the curb b/c i’m tired of his bullshit.
he has low self-esteem b/c in past relationships, his gf’s cheated on him. i have never cheated on him, but he is constantly badgering me with questions about where i am, what i’m doing and who i’m with. i hardly ever go out b/c of this. i feel trapped. when i do go out it’s with my two kids to the mall to do some errands, or to my best friends house (with my kids). i tell him where i am, but he always suspects that there’s a guy there that i’m cheating on him with. and it’s like any little thing i do or don’t do or say or don’t say will get him upset. like last night, i stayed up and extra hour to hang out with him after his soccer practice and then i wanted to go to bed. b/c he snores, i always end up on the couch (which is somehow way more comfortable than our king size bed) so last night i decided that instead of laying on the bed for an hour waiting for him to fall asleep so i could move to the couch, that i would just go to the couch right away so i could fall asleep right away. he got all huffy and puffy about it and said that i’ve been acting differently lately…but according to him, i’ve been acting differently for the past year and a half!
i feel trapped and controlled but i don’t know how to get out. before i met him i was on welfare and doing fine. all my bills were paid, we had food on the table and i was not in debt. he convinced me to get a credit card that he promised he would pay back, so i could get good credit. it’s maxed out now at $3500. and i got a sears card in my name as well that’s at around $900. for some stupid reason i got a phone for him in my name, and now b/c of his phone, our bill is around $700/month. he makes good money, but not that good. he just wants wants wants and somehow convinces me against my better judgment that it’s a good idea, when i really just want to save for emergencies and big things like a vacation. i stay home with my kids, and i only get $725 for their child tax credit and uccb, but all of that goes to bills. i don’t have any spending money for myself or to buy my kids new clothes (which they desperately need….not so much the baby, but my 4 yo does). he puts in towards bill and rent too, obviously, but he gets to keep some of his money to himself and then goes out and buys whatever he wants and most times it’s a waste of money. i’ve tried talking to him about this, but he just blows it off, says he works hard for his money and should be able to spend some of it on himself, and that he shouldn’t be the only one to have to pay the bills. it’s not fair that me and my kids have to suffer b/c he wants to spend money on crap and coffee and smokes everyday. he’s even dipped into my money when he’s run out of his for smokes and coffee.
we have next to nothing in common anymore. i guess we never did to begin with. we fight almost all the time. don’t get me wrong, there are sometimes we get along great. but they just feel like best friend moments and not relationship moments.
should i leave him or stick it out? should i continue to sacrifice my happiness (and credit) to make him happy
You need to get out of this relationship and get your child away from him. Please break off the engagement and move on. Unless he is willing to see a therapist there is little hope that he will ever change.
