My husband was very suportive of my cpap because it was such an improvment over the horrible horrible mess that my health and medical care had been for two years. Someone upthread said cpap is better than a heart attack, and that is so true.

And you could always point out that a major symptom of untreated sleep apnea is reduced sex-drive.

Thanks everyone for all the support. I know that this isn't the worst thing to happen to a marraige, I just wonder why he feels needs threatened by the cpap!

50 Years old and 3 years divorced, I have meet a wonderful woman with whom i have discussed my CPAP with early and even showed her my mask so there would be NO suprises. She asked when i would be cured and never need it, i said never. The only way i will stop snoring is a trach, she said NO THANKS.

I then told her if it came down to her or the CPAP...........bye bye baby. Love me love my mask................she gave the right answer

My husband has supported me all along. He says he feels better not having to worry about me stopping breathing and no longer has to turn me over. So, in a way, this is helping him also.

I have spent quite a few years dealing with all 6 of his brain tumor surgeries so he owes me the same and gives it right back. I am very lucky.

I can't imagine a spouse who would be jealous over a MACHINE. That is kinda sad.... I mean geeze!!!!

My husband was not real supportive at first, only because he saw how hard it was to get used to using the cpap. He saw me losing sleep every night and was worried. We talked, and I told him I needed his support. Now he is researching things almost as much as I am. Of course, he tried the machine for a whole 10 minutes and said he would NEVER get used to it, but at least he knows what its like now too. We've been through worse, cancer etc, so this should be a cake walk. Its not, but it is getting easier. Thanks in a big part to all of you who offer advice and support too!

My husband is fairly supportive. He encouraged me back to the martial, sorry marital bed once I had settled with the cpap - it was always my choice to move out, not his.

He likes the cpap because I don't snore any more which used to wake him up. He always checks and double checks I take it with me when I go away, but i think that's for his benefit, not for mine.

He is not supportive in the sense he has absolutely no interest in the tweaking of the machine. He will be politely interested if I mention my apnoea rate is fallilng or something, but only inasmuch as it will affect him.

He said it was the ideal medical condition for me, lots of shopping and lots of computer nerdery! He is a bit difficult about expenses, buying things for the cpap I think he sees it as a bottomlessl pit of expense. And he is very iffy if I spend "too long" on the computer.
