[ WP ] A woman falls in love with a man only to be slowly driven away by his terrible snoring . She must find a way to overcome her disgust for his phlegmmy and unrhythmic snores and be able to find rest in his bed .

My life is quiet. I live with my husband, who I have been with for 62 years. We've outlived our only child and all of our friends. Our family has all passed, it's just the two of us. We live in the woods, and quiet is the way I like it. 
 
 I grew up a very quiet person. I never really stood up for myself, and over the years I've realized I live in a nice bubble. As of lately, however, I've become an angry person. I know it's the snoring. 
 
 Damnit. I ca n't take it any more. The rising and falling of his chest while he slept used to be beautiful to me. I used to watch, entranced, any time I could not sleep. 
 
 Now all I can think of is how much I hate the ripping noises his body makes. With each snore, I feel myself growing more impatient. They rip through me, they make me want to rip through him. 
 
 I used to put a pillow over his face, as a joke, when he would snore. It would wake him up, and we would laugh until we fell back asleep. I did this to him last night. But last week, the silence brought me such relief. So much relief that I could n't bring myself to lifting the pillow again. Now when I sleep next to my husband, it's very quiet, but I sometimes miss watching his chest rise and fall. 
 
 FIRST ONE. do n't be too harsh: )
