What Is A Wife To Do!

Get some ear plugs so you can't hear it...I understand how he feels it wonted be long before he's tired of it..It's like a new toy!!! cd

I don't know if I should laugh or not on this one. I love my boyfriend dearly, he has shown and proven to me that there are wonderful men in this world as opposed to what I was use to. Since I have met moved in with him I have not had a good nights sleep. It is tough that I am going through things currently that contribute to lack of sleep, however my boyfriend snores like there is no tomorrow. I mean he can lay his head on the pillow and half a second later there he goes. The sweetie has tried everything from gadgets, to medication to all imaginable testing to help me from the lack of sleep and has spent lots of unnecessary money for things that have not worked. There are days that I have to get out of bed and pace around the entire house because I can't take it. that's where I developed my online ventures as I just couldn't pace anymore. He wants us to sleep in separate room just so I do not lose sleep but I won't allow it, I figured if we do that then that would end our wonderful relationship as it would be easy to keep away when the tough gets going. But anyways, I feel for you about not being able to sleep, however your husband could at least turn it off at night and restart it in the morning. You should ask him to compromise. Tell him you are willing to deal with it during the day but it should be turned off at night. Seriously. If not tell him you are sleeping in the other room with the door closed, an tell him my story how relationships distance when they do that... That might get him to reason a bit. LOL

Hi, snowqueen200802. I want to know the same thing too. How can he know what is going on while he is asleep? My grandmother once had a scanner. It would be talking in the middle of the night time. I think that my aunt persuaded her to buy this because of the crime that has been taken place in our town that we live in. Her mom did not have a male living in the house with her, just us girls, her granddaughters. Is it possible of you could sleep in another room? And do you think that earplugs would work for you? I hope that you can have a talk with your husband to tell him how this noise is affecting you from sleeping.

I feel for you. Hopefully, the newness of the toy will wear off soon. When my grandfather got his police scanner, my grandmother hated it. She would actually turn it off at night. She told him, if he respected her enough, he would shut it down for the night. He did. After about a year, the new toy became a favorite item for my grandmother to listen to. It was hilarious. She would find out some of the best gossip around town. Mind you in a population of only 2000 people it wasn't difficult.

Hahaha! He is like my Grandpa (RIP, Lolo...) He used to play the radio really loud and he hated it if somebody lowers the volume or turns it off. He said he is listening and yet he is already snoring. LOL Well, use an earplug. And when your husband is already asleep turn it off without waking him up.My husband would turn off the tv for me when I eventually doze off watching it. It is hard for me to doze off easily and watching tv in bed helps a lot. Take a nap whenever possible . you need it for all the lost sleep you had. :-) Take care, too. May you sleep soundly tonight.:-)

Hopefully he'll get tired of it soon. Isn't that illegal? Having a police scanner?

Wow, that's a tough one. I can see the appeal and how it might quickly turn into a bit of an addiction. I hope it's a passing phase and that your husband is more considerate soon!

snowqueen200802, Firstly, I would advocate that you check if your man's toy is illegal which would warrant for some prudence here where you either shut it off completely or that it is off during bedtime. Most of all, I wouldn't want him to get him into trouble with the law getting a hefty fine or lock up or both. I don't think either of you as well. I can understand men and their toys, but I have to say here that there needs to have a limit. Doesn't he need to sleep? If so, then why does he need than scanner to be on during bedtime? I have to say that you need to sit him down and have a good conversation which is the main essence of every relationship. Take care and have a nice day.

snow I went throught the same thing and my husband finally got tired of it and went onto something else. Meantime I got myself some good ear plugs.They really did work. Maybe yours will get tired of his new toy too and go on to something less noisy we hope. I by the way am a very light sleeper and my hubby was a heavy sleeper.

ear plugs? tell him to sleep in another room with it since thats what he wants to sleep with. my friends NEW hubby has to sleep with the radio on and shes made him sleep in another room already

There's nothing worse than being kept awake at night listening to loud noise. Those scanners can be addicting I'm sure but very annoying too. I guess you need a couple cocktails so you can sleep betteror separate bedrooms. Good luck my friend....Boys and there Toys

Maybe he wants to know what happens in night about you! My suggest is that you should talk about this with your husband and tell you your feeling! If your husband love you,he will change for you!

hi ms snow.... well we don't have police scanner yet my mother-in-law got some radio to listen 24/7 even though we are watching movie, having karaoke , and sleeping....Its her hobby so we don't expect that she will get tired of it instead we became use to it...loL!

I am in simmilar situation. My boyfriend is infront of the laptop in the bed whole night. He is testing his GPS or putting new programs in his cell phone!!!! Whole night!!! He makes noises, there is a bright light in my eyes and when i tell him to go to bed he thinks that i tell him what to do. So i can totally understand you! If you find solution please tell me :)

I would wait until he is asleep and turn it off, or buy earplugs. I cannot stand those things. My parents always have one running. It drives me crazy. I know exactly what you mean.

i'd get him headphones..and tell him to use it. most of those have a jack somewhere on them except the oldest ones.

Hmm, well the discussion you made to tell us the update on this discussion here has been deleted so I will just reply here. Glad he got earphones for it, how sweet of him to do.

tell him to get an earphone set...

I would tell him to sleep in the hall. If you are a working women anything can happen due to lack of sleep. you will not be able to concentrate on work or may even meet with an accident. So tell him the defets of it. Tell him that bcos of this attitute of his your love for him is fading. I think men will do anything for love.

Oh its very funny, anyway hope it will break soon and u get good sleep in night. lol sorry don't mind. Nothing to write down.
