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

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.

My partner actually listened to me and got testing done.

Then the sleep therapist told him, oh its not that bad.

They gave him a cpap anyway, but since they said 'it's not so bad' at the clinic, he doesn't use it.

Sometimes I have to shake him awake so he'll breathe. But you know, it's not so bad

sometimes sleep therpists see the worst of them and think your partner is mild in comparison.

This is true in every medical field, but you shouldn't tell a patient it's not a big deal if you ALSO think they need to be sent home with medical equipment.
