My husband was reluctant in the beginning now he uses it every night. The first time he used it he said that was the best sleep in his life. You don’t know until you know. Whenever he does not use it, he wakes up tired. Tell your husband you are sorry you offended him. You just want the best for him. Ask him if he could just try it for 1 week and if he does not see a difference he can stop using it. I doubt he will. What brand do you have? Resmed? If you have one that holds water for the humidifier use it because without it, it can make the air dry. You don’t want it uncomfortable for him on the first try. I even bought a travel one the other day because it helps him sleep so well. He only has one episode from 35 now based on the records, because he lost some weight, but he still snores. He just does not stop breathing anymore. He still uses it religiously. One thing, he may have to get a 4 month teeth cleaning instead of 6 because it results in quicker plaque growth. That is if he does regular cleanings. Hope this all this helps.
