The key is to present a solution to your partner. This gives you both something positive to focus on, and takes the pressure off them. Let your partner know that the decision is completely up to them – you’re just worried about their health and trying to improve your relationship.
A surefire way to put your partner on the defensive is to start the conversation around their snoring after you’ve had a bad night of sleep, or when you’re in an otherwise unhappy mood. Consider bringing up their snoring — and how it affects you — when you’re both in upbeat, positive moods. Use “I statements”, such as “I am not sleeping that well at night, and I think it could be connected to your snoring” to help minimize defensiveness and hostility on their end.
