Everyone has a bad habit deal breaker when it comes to relationships. Whether this is the age old leaving the toilet seat up, or spitting, or the use of the c-word, or picking noses, or farting in bed, we all have something that drives us round the bend and makes us consider walking away.

However, it seems the boy’s deal breaker with me is the most hateful of them all, no, not my mild OCD which means I have to know the answer to every trivia question (he is slowly developing this one too) but (say it quietly) my snoring.

Ok, i’m not a hog in bed all the time – the snoring is only a recent thing which has developed with the cold that will not go away. The snoring has been going on for the last two nights and its turning the boy into a grumpy, angry, sleep deprived monster (at least I know what he’ll be like if we ever do have kids – ha!) who, at intervals during the night wakes me up to tell me that i’m keeping him up.

(I have yet to wake myself up with a snore so I have to take his word for it, especially as he tells me to stop snoring when I thought I was actually wide awake. Hum, either he is lying or I am dreaming…)

Anyways, this it seems this is his deal breaker – do not come between a boy and his sleep. I’m tired of waking up to an angry, petulant, sulky little face every half hour, im sick of the tossing and turning and head under the pillow actions. Its driving a wedge between us which cannot be made a joke of. All i can hope for, that as the cold clears up that the snoring will too – i’m not sure how long our relationship can cope with this in bed with us too.

As for me, my deal breaker is hawking. Not just spitting, but hawking. I think thats worse than snoring…

(Sorry about your lunch)

Aren’t men lovely?

Do you have a deal breaker? Guys, what is yours?
