Yes our bedroom would look weird. And it's a small bedroom so there would only be a small gap, I'd have to get rid of our bedside table too.

But I'm so sick of getting kicked and punched in the night. He has awful dreams and night terrors. Think it's to do with his medication, venlafaxine, which he's been on over a decade.

Last light I was woken from a dead sleep by him trying to hit me and shouting about a knife. I tried to wake him but he kept shouting about it until he rolled over.

6am I am woken by a full force kick to my legs.

I just can't take it anymore. I'm tired. It's like 5 nights out of the weeks I'm either physically attacked or woken by him mumbling shit down my ear or shouting.

Omg this sounds awful! I think your hubby needs to speak to a professional maybe try new medication there is no way his sleep is restful either. Definitely tell him what you go through in the night tell him you love him but u need space to sleep otherwise you'll end up sick.. even if its temporary till he gets to the bottom of the dreams/nightmares
