Snoring and bad breath ?. Am I being unkind?

My DH had similar problem, and after much "pushing" he eventually went to Dr, had swabs taken and it turned out to be a fungal infection in his sinuses, he had medication, and also referred to ENT as it was difficult to clear, and eventually had a sinus wash-out, he is much better now, less snoring and no bad breath. , perhaps this could also be a cause to carol58 husbands problem, he should go to his GP.

How about new twin beds in the same room? Most older people seem to snore.

Look at basics, how about the state of his teeth. Does he clean his teeth and floss between his teeth? That can be a big source of bad breath.

DaphneBroon. Thanks for your reply. Yes you're quite right, he doesn't choose to snore and I do often go into a guest room in the middle of the night without waking him, so that I can get some sleep. I've spent a long time gently suggesting he could perhaps find out why he can't breath properly but to no avail. He does also have a broken tooth that he won't let the dentist remove because he's too scared and I do think that may well be the breath problem ( which by the way really foul, not just a bit smelly!) He also doesn't floss at all or even brush for very long . Much as I love him dearly and he is kind in other ways, I just don't know if I can go on living with someone who doesn't seem to care about how all this affects me.

PS suggest he sees his dentist too, the bad breath may be dental related.

As someone who snores like a train I have some sympathy for your DH it is not something we want to do. I moved to a spare bedroom nearly 2 years ago to let DH get a better night's sleep (ha ha, he f*rts and is up half a dozen times in the night so I reckon honours are even)
However, more seriously, your DH may get some helpful advice from his GP. Worth a try (but try not to make it a threat, it is hurtful)
