My husband and I are both on CPAP. It works out pretty well. I've been on it 48 days and he's a couple weeks behind me.

I started in December, husband started in April, I believe. I am 100% compliant, including naps. Husband mostly compliant, except for naps and some early morning mask removals STILL can't sleep in the same bed...husband wakes me up when he gets up for nighttime bathroom visits...but at least snoring has ended for both of us.
I clean both sets of "equipment", track both sets of numbers and make both of our adjustments. Husband lets me know when he isn't doing well and I try to find out why.
That's the route our 25 yr marriage has always taken

My wife and I are both on cpap, her for about 5yrs and myself about 3yrs. I maintain the equipment,filters etc., and fill the humidifiers each evening. We clean our own masks and hoses. It has been working out fine with both of us, and our two cats have been very understanding, (do not damage the hoses or masks), the Pursian loves the Pur-Sleep "Clear". We are both 100% compliant.

You will get there Canyongirl. My husband was first, he had severe sleep apnea and I was the one who hounded him until he went and took care of it. Then, I went to my rheumatologist and he send me for a sleep test and they put me on cpap too. I was shocked!! When my husband first started with his machine the noise bothered me andI used to go elsewhere to sleep. That bothered him and he was going to stop using his machine and then I got diagnosed. It took me a while to even get used to wearing mine, let alone getting used to him wearing his. Now I am 100% compliant except for waking up in the morning and the mask is removed. I have no idea, how or when it happens, I just know I wake up and its not on. I put he water in humiidifiers every night because if I didnt he wouldnt wear his, I also clean it all out.
