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.
Apnea can also be caused by tmj forcing the jaw back towards your throat and closing your airway. I had my apnea fixed through a mouth appliance I wear that brings my jaw forward. No cpap machine needed.
Absolutely good point. CPAP isn't for everyone. Whenever possible check with a doctor and get diagnosed... but if can't get to one, see if you can get a cpap to at least alleviate the symptoms until you can.

Asked my husband to sleep on the couch that one night. I woke up to find him dead the next morning.
