Today, I realized for the last year that my husband has been home from Iraq, I haven't gotten more than a few hours of sleep at night. Not because he gets nightmares, but because he now snores so loud that the pets sleep at the other end of the house to get rest. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, and for the past four years, the only time my husband stops snoring while asleep is so that he can fart. FML
Today, after a very poor night's sleep, I've had to stay awake and do housework while my husband, who slept like a baby last night, keeps on sleeping because he "didn't sleep well." He was snoring all night long, the reason I didn't sleep well. FML
Today, my fiancé, my two-year-old, and my dog are all sleeping peacefully next to me in our new king-sized memory foam bed. It's 2:15 in the morning. Why am I not sleeping? Because they all snore, one right after the other. It's like an endless song of snoring. FML
Today, my cat has made a habit of waking me and my husband up every morning by meowing in front of our bedroom door until we get up. This morning, I finally got her to stop, so I went back to bed hoping to sleep in for a while… Only to be kept awake by my husband’s snoring. FML
Today, my husband sent me a short video of my snoring last night because I wanted to hear how bad I sound. The first few seconds went by OK, but for the rest of the clip I could barely hear anything else over the sound of my husband taking a long piss in our bathroom. FML
Today, between my cats scratching every surface they can find, my boyfriend's snoring, and the dog barking at every slight noise outside, I'm unlikely to ever get more than 3 hours of sleep at a time. FML
Today, after struggling for hours to fall asleep with my husband's rather rattling snoring, I finally managed to drop off… only to be rudely awakened an hour later by my husband elbowing me in the face in his sleep. FML
Today, after months of living with my roommate's horrific snoring, I looked over to see her sleeping quietly. Elated that I might actually get a full night of rest for once, I went to bed. Just as my eyelids began to droop, she started making vile hissing sounds. Yes, hissing. FML
Today, after barely sleeping all week, I tried some ASMR videos to help me fall asleep. Both my dogs and my husband are out cold, snoring so loud I can't even hear the ASMR. FML
Today, it's 2am. I've been trying to get to sleep for the past two hours next to my snoring boyfriend. Every time I nudge him to shut him up, his body tenses, he farts, then goes straight back to snoring. FML

Yeah, can't he see a doctor?

I don't get it if he's been home for a year why did you just notice?????

there is no need to just turn him to his side, he can't snore that way just hope he won't mind it that you may wake him up (I assume he is kind off heavy which makes it hard to turn him on his side since he is a soldier or something like that)

@22 because when you submit a FML it always puts "Today,"

At least he's home. Also, get him into the docor. When people snore that loud, it's could be due to some sleep apnea. The other option, buy earplugs. My stepdad did!

awww, night mares? give him a break. so he snores. ever heard of ear plugs?

my dad had a problem with snoring and it had to do with his airways constricting or something so the doctor gave him this mask-breather thing so now he can breathe well at night and is much quieter. definitely worth looking into for you.

past the editing date. it's sleep apnea and the machine is a CPAP. Get one!
hjrn 0
a cpap is loud she is too special that would keep her up too. then we would have to read about how the machine keeps her awake

#26 Trust me, people can snore laying on their sides. My husband does it every night. I have to agree with idkweird on this. But did he snore before he left? Sounds like yoi just got used to sleeping alone.

Perhaps that is some other kind of snoring the because it works just fine with my boyfriend. Just go to the doctor OP, I still don't think he needs pills but there are many other solutions as already said

(sorry some problem with editing) Perhaps that is some other kind of snorring (if that's possible) because it works just fine with my boyfriend. Just go to the doctor OP, I still don't think he needs pills but there are many other solutions as already pointed out above. All the people complaining about her being a whiny bitch because he got home from Iraq and she then complains he snores well stop being so proud your country is fighting for oil and THINK. She isn't complaining he got out from Iraq, she probably had trouble sleeping while he was in Iraq and now he is back she gets even less sleep.

#2 is so right, if you don't like the snoring buy him nasal strips to open his passage ways or just sleep on the couch.

#2 I was totally thinking the same thing. what the ***** wrong with her.

It would stop the snoring.

Exactly.

Oh no, OP! Your life is over!

My thoughts exactly. This is a man who could easily have been killed in war. You should be valuing the fact that you have him around, not complaining that he snores. As posted above, get him some nasal strips or even a snoring medication. A humidifier could help. But don't complain that he snores when an alternative is so much worse.

who cares he was a dumbass to be a soilder and fight a stupid war
dragonwarrior 3
This might be a war that is "stupid" or anything you want to call it but he is not a dumbass for fighting in it cause if he didnt fight someone else would. Would you do it?

He snores so loud that she can't get more than a few hours of sleep per night, and his snoring even bothers the pets.

it makes total sense.. she just left a word out.

is the missing word more?

Yes, all fine and dandy he's home alive and well. But think a little what will end up out of their marriage? Sleep deprived people grow to be resentful, even if they wish they weren't. Not sleeping together anymore spells dry spells... Doctor is indeed the solution, and yes, it is a major FML!

I agree completely! My husband snores on and off and some nights it really is difficult not to shove him out of the bed to make him stop. I totally understand her frustration if thats happening night after night

You could do what I did. I got my own room. I eventually divorced him, but not for the snoring. Here's what I think might be the situation: 1) The OP never noticed the snoring before. 2) He's developed some sort of medical condition or has an allergy that is causing him to snore. 3) The snoring is temporary and should go away as soon as he adjusts back to his home environment. And tell your husband, welcome home and thanks!

what did you just type? how did it take you a year to realize this? the pets sleeping a little further away is not a big deal at all. buy some nasal strips
