New girl told me i snore really loudly, this is news to me, self conscious now

[g450]

You didn't know you snore before?

 

My BF snores. God it's annoying but I nudge him and he rolls over and it usually stops. Tell her to nudge you and you will roll onto your side or something. Try the nose strips.

 

I have this same problem. But like you, my Fiancee just nudges me to roll over and that seems to work. I usually only snore when I lay on my back. Yet another good reason to go on a diet LOL.

 

Good luck.

Completely forgot I wrote this post...

 

So she only told me once, the next day I brought it up and said how I was self conscious about it and she said it's not that big of a deal, just slightly annoying. Can't be too bad because she keeps wanting to spend the night or have me spend the night at her place. I think it's the way she likes me to lay and hold her because she said it's mostly "open mouth" snoring.

Hey, I got a tape recording on my Walkman (remember those?) of my exW snoring. She could rattle the windows with her open mouth version. I finally taped it because she didn't believe me that it was so loud.

 

If you guys have that 'stuff' a good relationship is made of, you'll work it out. 'Slightly annoying' during the honeymoon period can turn into a pillow over your face during the M ..... so address it now, IMO.

carhill you crack me up. I envisioned you sitting in the dark with a bottle of wine & this tape of your ex, snoring, & getting all sentimental. :lmao:

don't take this the wrong way as it is meant as a compliment but; you may be just insane enough to be the most emotionally stable person I've met on LS.

I was thinking of digitizing the tape and matching it up with some post- nose surgery pix where exW looks like a zombie and posting it on Youtube. Over the top?

 

It's nice being far enough removed from the reality of that stuff to sit back and laugh about it. Life's too short to dwell on things. Hope the OP finds his version of that path.

lol that's cute

 

You shouldn't be self conscious. Almost all guys snore. Besides, being self-conscious about it won't make it any better anyways

 

I will admit though, I have never slept over at any of my ex's places because of this reason. I am a very light sleeper, and I would never sleep if I stayed at their place or visa versa. This also knocked "moving in together" right off the list.

 

But that's just me. Most women don't really care.

Interestingly enough, the only two guys I've slept with before have not snored. They ranged from very very skinny to quite skinny though, so I'm positive weight plays a part. I have to nudge the bf for snoring once every couple of weeks tops, if he's extremely tired. As bad as it sounds, I'm such a light sleeper that snoring could be a dealbreaker for me if the guy doesn't want to fix it, because I believe in sleeping together sometimes for intimacy, and that could never happen between me and a snorer. My mother is a light sleeper and my father a snorer, and she is ALWAYS lacking in sleep. They've managed to weather it, but I often wondered if she would be just a less irritable and anxious person in general if she actually got some sleep.

I think your right about weight at least having an effect. Over 185 or so I tend to snore, under 180 it's rare to never I'm told.

Oh, that sounds reasonable. In my case, though, the ex was 5'10" and 130 lbs, and the current bf is 5'7" and 125. So I wasn't sure if a guy has to be THAT skinny to not snore, or if he just has to be reasonably skinny.

My boyfriend's snoring is also really bad. When we first started dating it was really difficult to fall asleep because of it, but now I have no problem falling (and staying) asleep whatsoever. It's just something you get used to after a while. I'm sure she'll get used to it too.
