AIBU - scared of being alone over night

I’m scared of being alone over night and my fiance says I’m being unreasonable, I always worry someone’s going to break in or somethings going to go wrong, all the noises freak me out.

I can’t be the only one?!

I don't think it's that uncommon.

I don't have full on fear, but if DH is away, or if I am on my own, I do feel more uneasy and don't sleep so well.

that's bizarre for an adult - have you sought therapy or tried anti anxiety medication?

My SIL is like this, it's a real fear. When her DH goes away for work she moves into her mams house with her DD8. Every time. No one thinks it's silly, she's scared and it's that simple. She wants to try and work on it though as the older DD gets, the more it's disrupting her routine with school etc.
