Man wont budge on having
surgery to quiet snoring
DEAR ABBY: My hus
band and I are happily mar
ried, but have one serious
problem. Our sleeping hab
its are incompatible. I am an
extremely light sleeper; he
is a horrendous snorer.
He sees a snoring special
ist and tried several medical
treatments, none of which
worked. The only solution is
a minor surgical procedure.
He doesn’t want to have the
surgery. He insists he “sleeps
fine," and says I’m the one
with the problem.
I have tried earplugs,
white noise machines, sleep
medications and more, but I
cannot get a decent sleep
with the obnoxious snoring.
He stays up much later than I
do, and I enjoy sleeping in
our master bedroom until he
comes to bed. I usually get
driven out of the room by the
noise.
We agree we don’t want to
sleep in separate rooms and
lose the intimacy, but it’s the
only option for me to sleep
well. Neither of us wants to
give up the master bedroom
because it’s the only one
with an attached bathroom.
Am I wrong for asking
him to have surgery so we
can share a bed? And if he
won’t, who should get the
master bedroom? —
SLEEPLESS IN
LOUISIANA
DEAR SLEEPLESS:
Let’s be honest. By now
your husband knows full
well he doesn’t “sleep fine."
The reason for his reluctance
is fear of the surgery. It
wasn’t wrong of you to ask,
and out of consideration for
you and the intimacy in
your marriage he shouldn’t
have refused.
However, because he
insists on coming into the
master bedroom, which he
knows wakes you, for the
sake of your health, take the
other bedroom. Understand,
the “intimacy bed" does
not always have to be the
“sleeping bed." Good sleep
quality is necessary for us
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
to function properly.
• • •
DEAR ABBY: I have five
grown children and three
grandchildren. They have
always come first especially
my grandchildren. When I
began the relationship with
my husband, I told him how
important both were to me
and that, no matter what,
my grandchildren always
came first. He agreed and
said he felt the same way.
Now, two years into our
marriage, my daughter and
grandchildren want to come
live with us for nine months
while her husband is
deployed. My husband is
freaking out and keeps com
plaining every day even
though they aren’t even here
yet. He has pushed me to my
breaking point and I am not
sure what to do. I would
never tell him that or act that
way toward his children or
grandchildren. I’m now con
sidering divorce. What
should I do? — FAMILY
FIRST IN THE SOUTH
DEAR FAMILY FIRST: I
can’t help but wonder how
you would REALLY feel if
the shoe was on the other
foot. Would you be as
accommodating as you
expect him to be, or would
you be panicking, too ?
Remind your husband that
this is what he agreed to
before your marriage, and
point out that this isn’t forev
er. It will be for only nine
months. Tell him it will be an
opportunity for him to get to
know the grandkids and vice
versa. Who knows? He
might even enjoy it.
If he’s still unhappy after a
reasonable period of time
after they arrive, then it may
be time to discuss separating.
But don’t jump the gun.
