I gained 20 pounds over the past couple of years due to hormone imbalance (thanks, menopause!). I've also recently discovered that I snore. Over the past few months, I would sometimes wake myself up during the night with a single “snort.” I downloaded an app that records sounds while I'm sleeping, and to my dismay, I learned that while it isn't horribly loud, there's no deny ing I snore. Why this has become a problem now is that I started dating New Guy about four months ago. Although we've been intimate, we've so far had only two sleepovers. I have never been super comfortable sleeping with someone overnight, so I try to keep those at a minimum. But now that I know I snore, I can't bear the thought of an overnight visit. So what do I say to New Guy? Do I apologize for probably snor ing during our two overnight visits? I don't want any more overnights now — I'm so embarrassed—but he deserves to know the reason. I’m under a doctor's care for my meno pause symptoms and working on los ing the weight, but I don't know what to do in the meantime. —Anonymous My goodness, are you always so tough on yourself? You have a body. It's chang ing with time. You're working on mitigating whatever negative effects you're able to mitigate within reason, or at least by your definition of it. So what else are you supposed to offer anyone beyond that? At some point, every one of us becomes a love-it-or-leave-it adventure. You snore, he loves it or leaves it, at least till you and your doctor address underlying causes. (ASAP.) And stop dodging. My advice upon winning this and other corpo real jackpots is to own your human ity, out loud: “I just figured out that I snore. I hope you find that adorable.” If you can't imagine being so frank, then my advice prerequisite is to work toward crossing that honesty threshold. Learn to accept yourself before you worry about whether any one else accepts you. You might be surprised by how much of the hard work of relation ships is behind you once you com plete that first step. Never forget, too, that all our faults, real or perceived, are filters. You don't want someone who can't get past your less-than-hot traits. The man who sees your faults as a small price to pay for the joy of being close to you, and about whom you feel the same? That’s the right fit for you both. Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.
