It's different than any other relationship. I don't mean that in a glassy eyed love-groupie sort of way. This is the first relationship of my life where we both work hard to meet the needs of the other. He is 100% "there". He listens intently and communicates well. He will do anything humanly possible to care for me and my children, his friends or his parents. He's great at hugs and listening when I'm having a bad day. We have the same general life goals and the same way of trouble solving. He's a nerd, I'm a nerd. He's good at things I am not (and vice-versa) and we know this makes us strong. We're friends and can speak our minds without reserve. We fight well together, too.
The supported, fair and present person he is helps me be my most even keeled me.
As a domestic abuse survivor, I had to learn that healthy relationships were not full of chaos and drama. It's taken a while to chose a man like my fiance. There is no drama or movie plot. Just he and I plugging along and realizing we make such a good team we should get married and keep being a team. It's not a fairytale, it's even better.

Or doing things around the house in a timely manner so that it either languishes for months/years, I do it myself, or he finally does it after listening to me ask, then strongly suggest, then threaten.
Agreed. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is actually pretty bad for you.mary poppins|1410960092|3752462 said:packrat|1410957481|3752438 said:I'd say 8?

See if he's amenable to going for a sleep study. Rather than snoring, he might have sleep apnea. If so, he can get a device (CPAP machine) that will improve his health and the quality of both of your sleep.
packrat|1411005443|3752887 said:Is sleep apnea where you quit breathing and then you like gasp for air again? He doesn't do that. I do check to make sure-not as often anymore since we don't sleep together. He's like the loudest breather on the planet too, so it's easy enough to tell. For a while I thought extra weight might play a part in it, but he snores just as much as he did when we first got married and we were both a lot thinner. He had his septum worked on about 6 years ago and that helped for a little bit. I'll sure check into it tho and see what I can find out-it's worth a shot!
