For many years, I (HLM) snored leading to sleepless nights for my (LLF) wife. In an attempt to allow her to get the best sleep possible, I moved to a separate spare bedroom. I could tell I my snoring was causing her issues so I took action on my own, without her asking or demanding. I suspect this sleeping arrangement has not helped our DB.

Anyway, fast forward to about 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and a CPAP machine has since cured my snoring.

Is it unrealistic for me to expect her to say “hey, since you are no longer snoring maybe you should come back to our bedroom”? Or should I be the one who is saying “I’m no longer snoring, mind if I come back?”.

I feel the roles were reversed, I would be the one asking her to come back as she did it for me not for herself.

I watched the Anthology again recently and while I remembered the story of Jimmie Nicol standing in for Ringo, the re-watch was fascinating…

- The Beatles are quite possibly in the peak of their fame and Ringo goes out. Instead of postponing, the show must go on and they acquiesce to a replacement. Shows that despite their popularity, they were still not exactly calling the shots, at least at that point.
- Related to the above… George wasn’t happy with it, but it was “fine” with Paul and John. George was already playing second fiddle even then.
- I was floored that he paraded around with them for photo shoots and interviews almost as if he was Ringo. I would have thought he would have said “You guys have the limelight. I’ll hang back here.”
- It may have been just me, but the drum set riser seemed a bit higher than usual during this part of their tour. Almost to say “He’s not really part of the band.”
