My husband and my dog both snore, but I don't love them any less. What a selfish reason to end a 20 year relationship.

first of all talk to her to go see a doctor. 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).

It is important, when trying to treat snoring to first identify the cause of the snoring. The treatment modality can then be specifically targeted at the identified cause of snoring in the individual case.


The problem of snoring usually is a problem for the bed partner or roommate. Therefore, successful treatment should include the goal of achieving a successful night's sleep for the other person. This makes treatment of snoring a difficult challenge. For example, someone may have a successful treatment if their snoring decreases from a jackhammer level to that of a passing truck. If their bed partner is happy, then the snoring problem is “cured.” However, another person whose snoring decreases from a mild sound to the level of heavy breathing may still have an unhappy bed partner. It is wise to look at the “success” reports for various treatments with a critical eye. If the number of nights that a bed partner has to leave the room decreases from seven nights per week to one night per week, is that success? Some would say that it is. However, the bed partner (or snorer) still has to leave the room one night per week. Be sure to know what your expectations for a “cure” are before considering any treatments.

Nasal strips or weight loss might work...but might I suggest that she see a doctor.

Often, snoring is a sign of allergies or perhaps a sinus or tonsil disorder in addition. Rather than speculate, have her see a doctor. Chances are that her snoring is doing more than driving you crazy. Snoring over time has great health riskes too.

See the doctor, a solution can be found. Medication, weightloss or perhaps surgery can fix the problem. Invest in education before you kick the relationship to the curb.

I do understand but I bet you snore too,
And I bet you have other annoying habits that she has had to put up with.
It is probable that you can't sleep for other reasons and the Snoring has become an issue which you have focused on.
Try sleeping in another room if you can't relax enough to sleep, or try ear plugs, Do pick your moment if you are gonig to mention to her that it annoys you, as you could be opening pandoras box of worms and be prepared to suffer the consiquences. Personally I'd prefer the snoring

Try snore enz. It is a over the counter throat spray that "lubricates" the throat and gets rid of the raspy snoring noise. It's only apx $9 for a bottle that may last for a month. It has worked great for me.
Weight loss may also help. There has been studies showing that those of us with larger neck sizes are more likely to be snorers and even affected by sleep apnea.

Firstly get the said lady to the doctors, there might (probably is) a medical reason for this, she may have sleep apnoea or something similar, secondly for a quick fix there are numerous companies that sell custom made earplugs that are so effective you wouldn't hear a bomb go off (well, you probably wouldn't hear it anyway if you were too close - but you know what I mean) these are expensive, about £70+ per set, but worth every penny.

HELLO --> See your doctor, or look for a specialist. There are several ways, from regular surgery, laser surgery, a dental 'upper plate' you can wear, and yes, weight loss is a big factor in stopping snoring. Separate bedrooms help, too. My husband can't be bothered to stop his snoring, so I sleep in the 2nd bedroom of our house.

have her try useing extra pillows to raise her head more. my brother has a bad snoring problem and the doctor suggested this and it helped quiet it down. if you have delt with it for 20 years and this is the only reason why you are considering a divorce I would just start sleeping in another room if nothing works.

Go to the sleep clinic. They will monitor your sleeping habits and you will be snore free before long. Could be as simple as a breathing machine.
Best wishes.
