Dreams DH is leaving

[Merryoldgoat]

I keep dreaming my DH is going to leave me. It’s really affecting my sleep.

Why? Why am I dreaming this all the bloody time?

We are happy, have no issues, no problems etc.

I’m assuming it’s anxiety around other stuff that’s manifesting in this recurring dream.

Does anyone else have this? I feel really weird for about an hour after I’ve woken up.

I have this all the time! No idea why, I am quite an anxious person though. Hoping someone else has a theory!

Yes I have that dream fairly often, I don’t know what it means though.

Funny isn’t it?

It’s really irritating me 😖

I could have written this exact thread. Even DP was questioning why I keep having these dreams. Leaves you with a horrible unsettling feeling doesn’t it.

This happened to me last night. Has happened a couple time before but not since having the baby and it was awful, he had his new woman in the car outside while he tidied up (hid) DD’s toys. He wanted us both out there and then so that he could bring her in. I was asking him why he was doing it to me and he was so dry no remorse or emotion, just wanted us both out of his lives.

Still feel sad about it now. I told him about it and his lack of ‘I would never do that to you I love you let me buy you something REALLY nice’ just upset me more.

I've had that one too. It shakes me up a bit even though we're solid as a rock.

Last week I dreamed that DH decided to take a second wife I told him next morning, he said 'Ooh, will she do the cleaning? Will she mow the lawn? Can I get one?' Thanks, DH.

I told mine that I’d hunt him down if he pulled the dream shit in real life.

He looked at me very mildly and offered me a cup of tea.

@Merryoldgoat I think we are married to very similar men.

Absolutely removed from drama? Even tempered? Finds my theatrics amusing?

It's anxiety. I've been managing GAD since my teens and have had recurring dreams of being abandoned when I'm not controlling my anxiety well. Therapists call it "catastrophising".

Totally, @Merryoldgoat. I wouldn't be without him.

I dream about my DP leaving, but the old git is still here, snoring on the sofa.

I keep dreaming my DH is going to leave me. It’s really affecting my sleep. Because DH leaving you is something you really don't want to happen, so at the back of your mind is a worry about it? And it's happening now because you're worried about lots of other things, so you're not sleeping as well, and therefore remembering dreams that otherwise you'd have forgotten before you woke up?

One thing that it definitely isn't, is a premonition of something that's going to happen.

Sometimes if I have a recurring dream that is bothering me I google it. Sometimes they have hidden/deeper meanings.
