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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

What a bummer for you. It's not like he could have been killed in Iraq or anything.

get earplugs you stupid bitch. how do you figure you have a right to complain do you know how many women would gladly give up sleep just to have their husbands home safe. I hope he wises up and leaves your bitchy ass for someone who appreciates him.

Somebody's being bitchy around here, but I don't think it's the OP.

There's no other way to put this, OP: Youre a self-centered bitch. You should be happy that he's even HOME, let alone home without post-traumatic stress disorder, or even nightmares for that matter. Give him some nasal strips, or spray, get yourself some earplugs and be happy he's back at all!

I'm confused, does she not get sleep because he snooze loudly or because her pets sleep at the other end of the house?

No, no; you've got it all wrong. He snores loudly because the pets sleep at the other end of the house.

Seriously, OP? THIS is your idea of a FML moment?? You have much to learn about the Way Of FML, gurassuhoppa.

You know, you can get that fixed. I understand your problems, but if it bugs you so bad, take him to a doctor.

wow it's funny how a sentence or two gives people a right to judge. If this woman was a self centered bitch she would not have waiting for a soldier to come home to her people. get off your high horses and stop being so god damn judgemental towards these post!!!!!! solution: get him to try different things until the problem is solved!!!!!! simple as that

Well if you love him as I am sure you do since you did wait for him then you should tell him and then come up with a way to cope with it.
