Boardsies - I need your help!

[-0-]

I got married on July 7th. Since Sunday I've been out every night (with my wife, but she doesn't drink) because we have had friends and family visiting. I snore when I drink which is obviously driving her up the walls. Anyway - I have a friend visiting this weekend and I haven't seen him since 2005. She has a friend visiting on Sunday for a week as well so no doubt the drinking is going to continue for a bit.

I just bought her some flowers and a teddy to thank her for being so patient with me. What else should I do? I'm pretty sure she's sick to the teeth of getting no sleep. Not drinking this weekend isn't really an option - my friend has paid over 1500 to come see me.

**Timbuk2**

You could always go out and not drink?

Logical_Bear

your on your own here mate:D

frozenfrozen

Washington Irving

Buy her a pair of earmuffs or gag yourself whilst sleeping

Flowers and a teddy :pac::pac::pac:... how long will that last ?
What did she buy you ?

Orim

Leave her. If she can't deal with you as you are, then she's not worth it.

Colmustard

Sleep on the sofa you inconsiderate selfish drunken twat.

Boom_Bap

Get her a hotel room and a voucher for an escort service. That should keep her happy.

Sala

Colmmustard got there before me! Sleep on the couch if you must snore.

Kolido

Thinly veiled I have many friends tread :rolleyes:

im invisible

..and let your mate share the bed with her

Hardonraging

Give me her number, i'll sort her out for ye .. she'll sleep through any amount of snoring after i'm finished ...

westendgirlie

Your marriage is doomed. Spending all your wedding money of the drink :eek:

No doubt this downward spiral will lead onto gambling. Then, in order to pay your gambling debt, you will find that you ARE the hooker and not paying the hooker. Your wife will boot you out and in years to come, I will be tossing coins at you as you sit on O'Connell Street.

Fist yourself.

Colmustard - I did that last night and she woke me up and asked me to come to bed. She would rather have me there snoring than not there which is proving painful.

I do a lot for the girl - she's not working at the moment so I pay for everything (rent, loans, car insurance, phone, and so on). That doesn't entitle me to go on the lash for weeks on end, however stressful it may prove to be at times.

Swampy

Stop being such a pussy OP. Man up. Do what you want.

frozenfrozen

shes your wife just hurry up and let yourself go

holystungun9

I predict a long and joyous partnership here.

Bipolar Joe

Tell her to pay for some anti-snoring things. You pay for the stuff she wants, she can at least pay for this one thing.

Biggins

Research via the net, methods to help stop the snoring or go see your doctor?

4zn76tysfajdxp

Sleep on the couch.

JohnMarston

Do you sleep on your back OP? That can make the snoring much worse

marshbaboon

Buy her some good earplugs, the quality of the earplugs should reflect how much you love her.

Yeah I have sleep apnea, so it can get pretty bad.

I am pie

Seriously, sleep on the couch. I don't know why this hasn't occurred to you as the best option here.

You do alot FOR the girl?! She is your wife for crying out loud, your partner in live. Using this stuff as an 'oh look at me arent I so good to the girl' angle is a joke. If I were her I would have you sleeping on the sofa, and not for your snoring, more for your lack of respect.

scotchannie

i'm wondering why you aint on yer honeymoon.... if you've only been married for 10 days :eek:

Can be pretty serious. Two best fixes are to cut weight (if you're overweight) and heavily restrict drinking. Nothing else is really going to be a long term solution.

All i can suggest is get medication for it, or save money for sugery to correct it, if possible

Cassidy28

Do you have a car, just sleep there if you do.

Thinly veiled snoring thread.

brandon_flowers

Pics of your missus or..... no help & GTFO

Millicent

Half a tennis ball stuck to your back so you can't lie on it. You don't snore as much on your side. Tell your missus that a hearty elbow to the ribs tends to have the same effect.

Saruman

I'm the same and our 8th anniversary is next week

Generally a push will stop me but if I have been drinking, that can be impossible.

You could try some of those anti snoring devices like the nose clip or a mouth guard that keeps your airway open.

I have tested the theory of a mouthguard. It keeps your mouth slightly open. I can't make myself snore with my mouth partially open but I can if it's closed.

Millicent

OP, do you smoke or have any weight on you? Not to be a killjoy but sorting out either/both of those should have a massive effect on how loudly you snore.

Wow! Luckiest wife ever....

Him: Well instead of looking at ways I can curb it, e.g cut down on my drinking, lose some weight, maybe see a doctor.....I've got a present for you....
Her: Oh wow! Some pretty coloured plants that will no doubt rot in a few days and a cheap stuffed toy from China.....keep on snoring, I'm soooooo lucky to have you

Seriously? If you were her, would you also not pay for anything? What is he, her partner or carer?

At least the dude is trying. Granted, AH is not the place for advice in anything because everyone here is an emotionally stunted failure.

Gummy Panda

Tell her it's not snoring but sleep growls.

ejmaztec

Should have gone for the deaf bride option, it's the only way.

July 7th was not 10 days ago, unless someone used a time traveling device on me today should be August 17th.

Regarding the weight loss suggestions, my bodyfat % is around 19% which isn't TOO bad as it was 25% when I was at my worst. I bought a gym membership about a month ago for both of us and and I'm also paying for a personal trainer for both of us too so we go to the gym regularly now and we're both losing weight. Both of us want to be at around 8% bodyfat.

I have been to the doctor regarding the sleep apnea, and I ordered one of those machines but it won't be here for another 6 weeks. Nice to see lots of you making wrong assumptions about me/us. You're not a cynical or critical bunch at all. :pac:

phasers

you have 2 choices.

1. Sleep on the couch

2. Don't drink when you go out

Since you apparently can't do either of these, you're fcuked

Fenian Army

Buy her ear plugs as a stop gap till the machine yolk you were on about arrives

Seriously though, what would AH be like without assumptions and cynicism?!

Doctor DooM

I have to ask.


Does your snore sound like the noise a tie fighter makes?

azezil

pffft you should so just dutch oven her whenever she complains. That'll shut her up pretty rapid *nods*

Of course! :pac:

Best thing to do here is do a combo of buttering her up. Bring her out for lunch, spend time with her just for the two of you before your friend comes over. In the midst of all this, address the fact you snore. Say you know the drink makes it worse and you are looking forward to a few mornings without hangovers but that time hasn't arrived JUST yet. Apologise profusely for the headache this is causing and as a newly married woman she'll more than likely graciously forgive you and utter the words "it's ok, don't worry about it" leaving you home and dry to obey her to the letter

Finally some useful advice!

Are Irish people simply incapable of going out without getting drunk? If you don't snore normally then you wont snore after one or two drinks.
