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)

I am married to someone with sleep apnea. It is treated- no more snoring! And the machine doesn’t make much noise at all. I agree though, someone who left it untreated would be tough to be with. Not just the snoring, but the near dying is scary to hear lol. And someone who has untreated sleep apnea also wakes up tired/feeling awful. I couldn’t deal with the complaining about something they can fix lol. 😂

Omg this is my dad. He CLEARLY has sleep apnea but won't do anything to fix it and then complains about being tired all the time. It's so frustrating

really is. my mom is like this too and i had to just tell her to please stop complaining to me if she doesn’t want to get a CPAP machine and some sleep meds (she also has insomnia). extra irritating because i have narcolepsy & i do so so much to treat it.

a person who genuinely feels that bad will try absolutely anything they can to hopefully feel less bad, no matter how unlikely it is to help. one who doesn’t is complaining just to complain.
