We pick a movie, I get snacks, ten minutes later he's snoring. Every single time. I know he works hard, but it's starting to feel lonely. What can I actually do?

Stop taking it as a personal insult. Tiredness isn’t the same as disregard. But you don’t have to put up with it in silence either. Try watching movies in the morning on your day off, when he’s just gotten up and had his coffee. Or suggest a board game or a walk instead of a movie—something that doesn’t require sitting still in the dark. If you put on a movie in the evening, give him a heads-up: “I want to watch this all the way through. Why don’t you go to bed, and then we can watch it together tomorrow?” You shouldn’t be just another screen he falls asleep to. You can find more about minor everyday conflicts here https://wisedate.org/blog/. But the main thing is—just tell him what I’ve written here. Without making a big deal out of it, with a sense of humor. He doesn’t even realize that this bothers you.
