The simple answer is yes, snoring can break up relationships - whether it's a partner or even a roommate who saws logs all night. Since roughly half of the U.S. population snores, pretty much every couple is forced to deal with this situation. Whether you're the snorer or the lucky listener, you might find yourself sleeping alone in a separate room as a result of this biological process. When couples are prevented from sleeping together, rifts can develop. Even if your partner pretends that everything is normal, they may be harboring strong feelings of resentment due to your snoring problem. Eventually, these bottled-up emotions reach the point of no return, and a breakup may follow — all because of snoring.
