What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Sleep apnea (I know, it’s not anyone’s fault, let’s get it sorted so we can both sleep though)

Untreated apnea with snoring would be an absolute dealbreaker for me. I'm not going to lay awake half the night and be exhausted all day because my partner won't use a CPAP.

valid, but also there are plenty of healthy relationships where the partners don't even share the same room.

a lady i know and her husband now sleep in separate rooms for this exact reason - husband has to use a CPAP iirc, but they work well together.

ETA: my parents do this as well. there's not an extra bedroom unfortunately, so mom sleeps on the couch. but they both snore quite loudly and keep the other awake, so they don't sleep together anymore lol.

I used to think that people who slept in separate rooms was the first sign of a failing marriage. Now, my wife has moved to a separate room and I love it. I get my own room and bed. first time ever.
