I haven't had a full night's sleep since my girlfriend moved in with me a few weeks ago. I love her, but she snores like a chainsaw. I want to address it with her, but she tends to be sensitive. How do I ask her to see a doctor without hurting her feelings?

This happened to me with my now ex. I recommend telling her before you resent her for your lack of sleep. I held out telling my ex until I just snapped from being irritable from lack of sleep. I told him I wasn’t getting any sleep because of his snoring. He went to a doctor, did a sleep study, found out he had severe sleep apnea, and got a cpap machine. I’m so sensitive to noise, so the machine kept me up. I was miserable. I started sleeping in a spare bedroom, which I would have been fine doing forever (especially because I had my own bathroom lol), but it hurt his feelings. There were other issues, but this was a big one, and we weren’t able to move forward. I wish you luck, and I’m sorry you’re going through it because it’s a sensitive topic. I have no doubt you will be, but be kind when addressing it with her, and make sure she knows you love her and aren’t going anywhere because of it; that it’s just something you both need to find a solution for, and it’s for her health.

Does she know she snores? I was not aware of it. I got one of those apps and it recorded me. I was astonished.

White noise machine + sleep study

Tell her you've set up a surprise overnight trip and take her to get his and hers sleep studies.

Ask her to try nasal strips, they could make a big difference

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
