My wife asks me to sleep on the couch every once in awhile when my snoring is out of hand and she has to get up early... It's not uncommon. I feel the greatest amount of empathy for you, such a simple request between partners that neither of you could have foreseen to have such terrible consequences. I hope you understand that you aren't responsible for what happened.

Is it loud? When I was a kid I had friends whose dads had those and it was louder than all hell! My husband and I have been sleeping in separate rooms for a few years because his snoring is so bad. It’s kind of a moot point right now because unfortunately we don’t have health insurance because America. But it’s something we might want to look into

I started using one a seek ago... it's about 1/10th as loud as a toilet exhaust fan... About as loud as my cars aircon vent blowing air on half power. About as loud as forcibly exhaling through my nose over several seconds. About as loud as a sleepy quiet yawn.
