How to tell your partner that he/she snores?

Hi mylotters,

I personally know that loud snoring can effect other people's sleep. Does your partner snores while sleeping? If yes, did you tell he/she directly about the snoring? How did they react? Do they believe you? At first my partner didn't believe and he said that I was the one who snores. Yeah, typical male response:-)..But later, he began to accepted this and gladly took some medication to help with the snoring. Nevertheless, the medicine didn't work out as I thought and he is still snoring:-) But now, I've grown accustomed to hear his snores, and I manage to get a good night sleep..:-)...What about your experience?
