AIBU to ask DP to sleep in the spare room

He's always talked in his sleep but last night for the first time he grabbed me hard by the shoulder twice. After he let go I looked over at him, he was fast asleep with a frown on his face.

Things are not good between us and he is moving out at the end of this month.

With one exception, in the seven years we have been together he has never done anything that could be described as violent

On that occasion, three years ago, I thought he was hugging me from behind. His left arm was around my torso and his right arm was around my neck. When I said "you're squeezing my windpipe", he replied "I know" and kept his arm there for a few seconds while whispering in my ear "Don't go in my toolbox". (I had borrowed money that he kept there and forgotten to replace it.)

It took months of Relate counselling before we got back from that.

With just seven days to go AIBU to ask him to sleep in the spare room until he moves out?

Very late to the thread but well done op, you are amazing. Keep safe. Also wanted to say be careful about sharing your whereabouts online etc. I'm really glad you got out, I had chills reading your posts. Good luck OP

I'm going to echo 2 other posters because I feel it needs repeating.

How did he know? If he was asleep when he grabbed you and you hadn't told him then how did he know what he'd done?

Secondly I too have a horrible sense of foreboding about this thread. Please be very careful.
