So, you wake up at 9am and take your husband to work because he's running late. And in the stark light of day you have a slightly larger amount of compassion because you did get a few hours sleep, and you feel guilty for writing any of this down. And your husband's angry at himself for being late, and making you get up early, but he's also angry

I am sorry you are having a shitty time of things right now. Has A tried everything out there to stop snoring? Sleeping together is not more important than being happy together.

If you have the vacation time, you should come out for a visit. We have free therapy at the beach, in the wine, and walking the trails of Yosemite.

Be kind to yourself and to each other. And don't bite your tongue, tell the truth and be open about how you are feeling. If you worry he'll be overly emotional and go off the deep end, you do need a marriage counselor/therapist to be objective and help you each handle your emotions in a healthy, non-taxing-on-the-relationship kind of way.

Take a couple deep breaths and force your thoughts to come up with some positives about your life, and love, and future.

Hope things get better soon.

Thank you for your caring advice. It's really hard to be patient with yourself and others when you've been tired for so many days, but I did finally have a serious and gentle talk with him about the sleeping situation and how fragile it has me feeling.

I also appreciate your vacation offer, and I hope someday I'll be able to take you up on that.
