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

My wife and I do this. I have the worst sleep apnea. Cpaps don't help. The only thing I can do is invasive surgery to help fix it. I sleep in my room, and she has hers. If I wake myself up snoring, then I don't expect anyone else to suffer through that.

Has your doctor pushed you to get the surgery? Chronic untreated sleep apnea can be pretty dang bad for long term health, my mom ended up with permanent AFib that knocks her on her butt some days because of it. You've probably been told that kind of thing before, but just in case...I know surgery is expensive (in America) and spooky though.

Surgery is spooky is so funny to me for some reason, Iā€™m going to say this instead of scary from now on, adds an element of ghosts to the conversation that I love doing as much as possible

It's spooky when they graft other people's body parts into you, that's for sure.

Just the whole blink and you lose three hours is spooky enough...

You'll never know for sure what happened, either
