Carolyn Hax: Snoring so loud, it’s rattled their entire marriage
| His snoring is either so loud that it's keeping his spouse awake at night, or so magic that it gives him consciousness even while he's asleep. |

Dear Carolyn: My partner and I have been together five years. Our relationship is solid, loving and respectful. He snores. So loudly sometimes it wakes me up. Usually I can jostle his pillow or brush his arm and he moves and it stops. But either he has been really loud lately or I have been sleeping lightly (possible because of work stress), because it's been bad. He's convinced that he didn't sleep well last night because I kept jostling him when he "knew" he wasn't snoring. He was snoring. And I jostled him maybe three times. We are both people who need quality sleep to be able to function, and that has not happened for the last week or so. He's accusing me of lying, and I don't know how to respond. I would never intentionally keep him from sleeping. I would prefer to be asleep myself. I don't know how we can get past this. — On the Couch | | | Answer this week's reader questionHere's your chance to channel your inner Carolyn Hax and respond to a reader question. | | | Want more?Carolyn's been writing her advice column for two decades.
