This Man Loves His Wife

Wait, wait, wait a minute. This picture is not at all as disturbing as it looks. Believe me, I know how it looks, but this story is too funny not to share. 

So Nate has a a SERIOUS snoring problem, so much so that he regularly gets his trashed kicked at night by his angry wife. You see when Nate is sleeping, he might as well be in a coma. You can try to wake him up, talk to him, shake him, even smack him, but it rarely does anything. SO, you can imagine my frustration when I try to roll him onto his side at night, 10-15 times per night. I feel bad for being so hostile with him in the middle of the night, but for those of you who know me, you know that I am NOT a nice person when woken up. And I can no longer function on 4 hours of sleep a night. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

So after many attempts at Breath Right Strips, nasal spray, and ear plugs I finally did some internet research. Come to find out that MOUTH TAPING is not only very inexpensive method to stop snoring, but also avery effective one as well. That's right, taping one's mouth shut. All night. Mouth taped shut.  

He got home and I told him the big plan, want to know what he said? "Sure, of course! Whatever I can do." We were both laughing at the image of Nate sleeping with his mouth shut and couldn't wait to see if it worked. 

So that night he let me tape his mouth shut. Lots and lots of paper athletic tape. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Nate would have laughed if he could of. He nodded that he was fine, and quickly fell asleep (by quick, I am talking 15 seconds to REM cycles, it's amazing). After I brushed my teeth, I couldn't help but snap of pic (while laughing uncontrollably) of my sweet, kind, selfless husband as he slept, being forced to breath through his nose for MY sake. People talk about true love, but this is it. 

You wanted to know if it worked?

No.
It did not.
Back to the drawing board.
Poor guy.
