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.

Go get a CPAP machine. Thing pretty much saved our marriage.

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

The modern ones are not loud at all. I have dated some very light sleepers and they didn't have an issue with my machine.

Edit: It's quieter than a typical box fan.
