To me it's comforting....like a lullaby.

Yes, my husband snored to the point that we considered separate bedrooms. My husband refused to believe that he snored and would not do anything about it.
So, I convinced him to go to a "sleep clinic." I told him that I just wanted to make sure he was okay, and that if the doctors agreed that he was normal, I would back off. Sure enough, he goes to the sleep clinic, and was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. In fact, during the sleep study, he woke up 62 times an hour from the snoring.
Now he wears a device to bed at night known as a CPAP. It is the easiest and least painful way to treat snoring. The patient wears a small mask, and a smooth stream of moist air is blown through the mouth. The air keeps the airways from being clogged. I swear this dang machine saved our marriage. We were lucky to have ours covered by insurance, so check with your insurer.
You can also do research for your spouse to show the effects snoring has on your health. Sleep apnea and other disorders slowly wear on your heart.

Well, I think another answerer gave the best possible information about sleep apnea. It effects millions of people every year and loud, ragged snoring is the number one symptom. Have him checked out for it, if he is willing.
But the person I used to date refused to be checked out for it, and so it was something I just had to live with. And foam earplugs really did the trick, for almost no expense. Just remember to set your alarm extra loud so that you can hear it with your earplugs in. :)

My ex hubby snored BAD and yes ir drove me nuts. They have those breath right stips he can use and they do work. Or he can see a dr. They have treatments and stuff to cure snoring. BUT DO NOT plug his nose when he is sleeping. I did that ONE time and never did it again. He had taken a swing at me in his sleep. You can also nudge him to roll over onto his tummy or side. That often helps too.

I have to fall asleep first and the snoring doesn't bother me. If he is asleep first then I ultimately sleep on the couch.

She snores loudly.
I wore ear protectors, but she got offended and banish me from the bedroom

My ex-boyfriend used to snore like you couldn't believe! I ended up resorting to ear plugs...then it wasn't so bad at all!

God yes he snores. I usually respond by shaking him until he wakes up.

Multiple marriages--and I have never been with a man who didn't snore. To me it's a comfort sound. It means he's there, and he's breathing.
