I can relate to this post. My partner was actually jealous of my cpap at first! After months of being understanding while I’ve been researching sleep apnea etc. when I finally got the machine, on about the third night, she was like “you can’t wait to get that mask on can you” and “you’d much rather suck on that thing than talk to me”!
I’ve even been accused of talking to my 'cpap buddies' on here more than to her and I’ve only done about three posts!
To be fair she’s becoming more her old understanding and sensitive self now so I’m putting it down to the sudden redirection of all my attention to the dam machine. Still for a while I thought she had fallen at the last hurdle. After years of spoiled holidays and weekends due to my fatigue and now just as I was fixing the problem she gets her knickers in a twist! Of course I did the old: “You just want me to stay ill with tiredness don’t you!” and “for some deep and twisted reason you’d prefer me to be knackered all the time!”
I’m glad to say we kissed and made up the next day, but we both went to sleep in a huff!
I’m in a huff with the machine now. I’m definitely not talking to the mask! In fact (typing quietly so she can’t hear me) I’m getting rid of her for a sexier model. Dam leaks. Having to use an elastic strap across the middle which is leaving big marks across my cheeks in the morning (facial cheeks Liam ). People must think I’ve been in a fight the way I look in the morning.
Anyway, needed that vent! Off to bed…
