My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea four years ago. He tried the cpap and the mask irritated him and he became super frustrated and gave up all together. We don't sleep in the same bed because I am a light sleeper and his snoring is so loud that I can't sleep and end up kicking him all night long. I feel that puts a damper own our relationship by not sleeping in the same bed. Now for the past three years we have been struggling to have sex on a regular basis. We always had justifications that we are tired due to both of our jobs and we travel a lot. So the sex life was not a big priority or concern. He seems to have a low sex drive as I recall I was the main initaitor when it came to sex. Now 3 years later he has erectile dysfunction. So he went to the doctor and found out he has low testosterone which causes a low sex drive. Then I did more research on sleep apnea and found that a symptom of that is low testosterone! He does have a mouth piece that seemed to help but not always. He has severe sleep apnea, both obstructive and the kind where he just stops breathing in his sleep. I've preached to him about how serious it is to not use the cpap! I just ordered him a new mask in hopes he will try it and it will work. Having children is out of the question since we don't have sex. Good grief would you stay with your husband if you don't have sex due to his illness that he is not treating it??? Especially when his lack of sleep makes him irritable and inpatient! I keep fantasizing about the possibilities of being single and dating!
