Like nails on a chalkboard

Im laying in bed listening to my partner snore. He is sick, fair enough, but geez, im considering sleeping in another room!! Soft snoring is ok but at the moment it sounds like there is a train in my room and the noise is horrible!!
To me, it's like nails on a chalkboard. That horrible noise that sends a shiver down your spine, hurts your ears and you get that feeling of absolute disgust that a noise so horrible could be in existence. That's what snoring does to me. . . Not just any snoring though, loud snoring.

Yes, I know, I should probably give him a little sympathy, i mean, after all, he does have man flu. That dreaded disease that all men seem to get when their throat hurts or they have a runny/blocked nose. But PLEASE keep it quite after 9pm when the kids are asleep and I'm trying to wind down.
Maybe I'm being selfish? But then I dont get much sleep as it is even without the snoring. I'm sure I'd get a better night sleep having someone rev their V8 next to my bed. At least a V8 has a nice purr to it.
Thank God he is going to see a doctor tomorrow maybe they can help. Or maybe I should just invest in some awesome ear plugs for when man flu comes for its next visit.
I'm sure if i asked him he would sleep in another room but I'm really not that mean. . . .or am i?
