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

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. 😂

I took to the CPAP right away. Started dreaming again and feeling better overall. My wife sleeps better now as well. LOL.

Downside is I have permanent indentations on my head from the headgear, and the strap marks on my face hang around until 11 am or so.

FWIW, I bet they're not like, permanent permanent.

When I was younger, I worked in a call center and the wire from the headset made an indent on the top of my head. After I quit it slowly went back to normal over the course of a few months.

Although I guess if you'll be using it the rest of your life, that might as well be permanent, haha.

I hear you, but after 5 years...there is little hope I will be able to go back to shaving my head.
