Husband had an affair -in my dream- and now I’m slightly annoyed at him

AIBU? Absolutely! But at least tell me I’m not alone! It was a VERY vivid detailed dream and DH slept with my real life friend’s real life hot sister, and was unapologetic afterwards, everyone in my dream was gaslighting me telling me it was no big deal. He’s being so helpful this morning too ! (No wonder after his outrageous behaviour in my dream Grin) Obviously I’m not phoning the divorce solicitor just yet but honestly there’s a tiny part of me that’s raging and feels wronged lol I think I’m peri menopausal, is this related? Anyway any good ideas for dealing with this weird feeling? I can’t be the only one! I’m debating having a nap during my lunch break and a revenge dream fling with (insert hot Hollywood actor who I haven’t yet decided on name)

DH dream cheats so often that if in a morning I start saying "you'll never guess what I dreamt..." he interrupts to start apologising 😂

I had a very explicit dream about a certain "special" football manager (he was gooood!). I was horrified with myself for days!

These things can spill over into real like though. A friend of ours dreamt his wife had a fling with one of a pair of a twins in our circle. Everyone's known everyone since school. At a wedding we were all at, drink was taken, emotions were high and he suddenly punched the twin! Turned out afterwards when they kissed and made up it wasn't even the twin he'd dreamt about.

Oh god I've done this. I had a dream about a woman who was a problem to us at the start of our relationship and was texting DP all the time saying shit like 'it should have been me' and that she loved him etc. He ended up having to block her on everything and instruct friends not to give her any other contact details.

Anyway I dreamt about her and got SO angry when I woke up. The funny thing is I don't even know what she looks like (she's not on social media) so my dream version of 'her' was completely made up 😂.

Carpetflowers · 30/11/2020 09:23

I did the same a few years ago. Had a really vivid dream that DH slept with one of my friends, I was so cross with him even though I knew it was ridiculous - he thought it was funny.

Toomanyradishes · 30/11/2020 09:24

My husband had an affair and a baby with another woman, and then after he told me he went to the pub and left me upset, all in a dream of course. Took me ages to stop feeling irrationally upset with him

TramaDollface · 30/11/2020 09:25

I still feel the rage when I see Sienna Miller because she shagged my boyfriend in 2005

Boyfriend long gone and v happily married yet I still feel the rage

Rollingpiglet · 30/11/2020 09:26

Yep, this happens to me fairly often. Most recently a couple of nights ago I dreamed I caught DH shagging a male colleague. No idea where that one came from!

Peridot1 · 30/11/2020 09:28

Dreams are sooooo bloody weird!

I’ve had a couple of odd ones last few nights.

Last nights involved me finding out that DH had sought medical treatment in Russia as he couldn’t feel his testes. Apparently when girls in the office there found out he couldn’t feel them they took him to a doctor who treated him. DH used to travel to Russia for work at one time. In the dream I was annoyed at how these girls in the office knew he had problems. So I went to Russia to find out what had gone one. One of these girls then told me he was cured now and she personally knew everything was working fine.

How weird was that?

This happened on Friday night dinner. Wife was furious that her husband dreamed his was naked in a bath of milk with... Princess Diana!

My husband gave away my pet llama so I shagged captain America as revenge. It all worked out in the end as my husband realised he was the one in the wrong and got my llama back.

elliejjtiny · 30/11/2020 09:43

I often have dreams about being really mean to dh and I wake up feeling really guilty.

Last night I dreamed that a herd of cows got into my dc's school. We sued the school and I had just got a cheque for £7000 when I woke up. Really annoying as I was looking forward to some dream shopping.

Pyewhacket · 30/11/2020 09:45

Colleague of mine had a highly erotic dream about one of the guys in IT support. When we had a problem with a monitor he came up to sort it only she couldn't look him in the face or even talk to him properly. She just blushed up massively and ran out of the office. When she explained we, of course, demanded to know every small detail of her dream. Pure filth, naughty girl !.

Why? Grin Man is a silver fox, and if he also knew what he was doing... I might be glancing at his picture before naps, is all I'm sayin'.

Oddly enough, all of my dreamsex is either with DH or with women. Very occasionally with men who only exist in my dream. I'm not sure what that says about me. I've never dreamed that DH has cheated on me either, if there's sex in the dream it's generally me having it Grin

MatildaTheCat · 30/11/2020 09:51

I once dreamt that I discovered that DH had had an affair and had a child with her. My dilemma was whether, if I forgave him, I could live with him having a relationship with this child. It was all quite realistic and when I woke up I found it quite difficult to shake off..

TheUnexpectedPickle · 30/11/2020 09:52

I frequently wake up giving DP the stink-eye. He just sighs and asks what "DreamMrPickle" has done now.
He usually apologises.
Then asked if the lady he cheated with was, at least, hot 🤣

Sunshinehousexo · 30/11/2020 10:05

I recently dreamt (whilst heavily pregnant) that I slept with my next door neighbour- who isn’t my type at all. I really like his wife and couldn’t look at her for days. For a long time I toyed with the idea of confessing to my husband. I still haven’t told him but I’ve since been able to make small talk with next door.

@AllTheCakes lolling at Dream Dave 😂😂

yelyah22 · 30/11/2020 10:22

YANBU, what a bastard. My OH told me his ex's handwriting was 'BEAUTIFUL' in a dream (I am mildly self-conscious about my handwriting because I'm dyspraxic so it's a scrawly mess) and I woke up really (completely justifiably Wink) annoyed. When I told him, he laughed and said "She does have lovely handwriting, actually" - !!!! Bastard. Hahahhahaha Grin

This made me lol! Anyway I told him before he went to work and he pointed out he’d never actually met my friends hot sister, so I replied “so you say” Grin he did say sorry and swear never to do it again so that was something Grin

As long as he knew he was being unreasonable !! ;)

Boy, when you get revenge, you don't mess about.

Is there some kind of equivalence between a llama and Chris Evans, in your view? Grin

Lampzade · 30/11/2020 14:21

My dh didn’t talk to me for a whole day because he had a dream whereby I slept with an unknown man.
He said that the dream was so vivid and the physical pain was so real.
Really weird

That sounds absolutely mad. How did this all spill out?!

I meant horrified with guilt. Could barely look DH in the eye without blushing.

Before we were married I had a dream that I was having an affair with a mutual friend. I was so delighted to wake up with my lovely fiancé that I told him, assuming he'd be pleased that he was my true love... nope, he was livid that I'd had the dream and that I'd told him about it.

I never told him about José...
