No peaceful night sleep
I'm dealing with enough in real life. I have been having some difficulty falling asleep. And now I've been having horrible dreams of my husband having his lil gay affairs & him rubbing it all in my face, it seems so real & disturbing. I wake up with tears & being angry. Wish I could just have a peaceful night sleep. These dreams are becoming more frequent. I hate them. Unfortunately it's not really a dream right because I wake up & I still have a gay husband that doesn't want me. Anyone else experience dreams like this or what to do to help alleviate them?

Re: No peaceful night sleep
When my husband left me I had to go on meds for sleep due to constant waking, which id never had before in my life. It took some adjusting, but they work.

Sue - do you mind sharing what you're taking? Very recently I have started waking up at around 2, 4, and 5 a.m. It's driving me crazy. I used to occasionally have a little trouble falling asleep and I'd take 1/2 of an ambien. but in this case, that does nothing but let me sleep until 2 and I start the same pattern.

Re: No peaceful night sleep
I had terrible nightmares about my ex and his affairs for months. Sadly, most of the dreams were actually just replays of what happened in real life. I would tell my ex about them, and one day he was finally like "do you ever have happy dreams about me or at least not nightmares." I truthfully answered no. I think it's just the trauma we've experienced. So flipping sad.
