Is my DH overreacting over dream?

I sent a message to a friend who is gay (opposite sex) detailing a dream which I had which involved him. It was not a romantic dream. My DH has seen my message and is now acting like I've committed adultery. He says it was flirting? He's a man and he's gay and he's in a relationship with a man. My DH is demanding answers and that I make it up to him.

I've told my DH that he's being pathetic and ridiculous. A I being unreasonable or is my DH?

Would you tell a female friend in the same detail that you told your male friend?

We all have sex dreams but it’s well known that many people will admit it or pretend they have to someone that they’re flirting with/trying to have sex with.

I would need to see the texts and know your friendship better to judge but I don’t think I’d be happy with my DH texting a woman about them having sex in his dream, especially if it went into detail.

It wasn’t a sex dream, though.

That's not really relevant, I'd be a bit miffed if my partner had a dream about another woman, regardless of the context. I'm also aware you can't control your dreams yet I'd still be upset if he was dreaming about another woman. I think this is something you should have kept to yourself, however I also do think your husband is overreacting.

You'd probably cry if your husband had a dream that he and his colleague Janet from Marketing both appeared on the same episode of Antiques Roadshow.

The world is full of insecure oddbods.

Can I submit:

IT WASN'T A SEX DREAM!...

as the new 'cancel the cheque' please?

What does it say about these posters that their minds immediately go to sex dream 🤔

@GTsundaydriver I've read it all now, you'd be a bit miffed if your dh dreamed about another woman. How ridiculous, like he would really be able to control it 😅😅

I hadn't really thought about it being a strange thing to message. I saw his story on social media and sent a PM mentioning that I'd had a weird dream that I got him fired and commented on his story and asked how he was.

I probably wouldn't message someone randomly that I had a dream about them. It was because I had the dream and then in the morning I saw his story on social media so made the comment.

There's nothing wrong with this at all to me.

What I find baffling is the number of people who think it's weird to tell a friend that you had a dream about them at all, under any circumstances. One person even called it creepy. What the hell is wrong with you people?

I get that friendships have different dynamics depending on the personalities involved and how close you are. I wouldn't randomly message some friends about something like that but there are others who I absolutely would. Mostly close friends who I'm in touch with n a regular, random chit-chat basis.

The idea that mentioning dreams at all is weird/wrong/creepy in all circumstances makes me think folk need to lighten the fuck up.

Your h wanting you to make it up to him is the creepy thing here.

BirthdayRainbow · 25/01/2024 17:18

While I agree the dh is being an idiot. I dreamt my h had cheated on me. Felt unsettled and off with him all day. Months later discovered, yep. He had.

Completely on board with this. Is he just making a faux drama so you feel obliged to do that thing you only do on his birthday? 🤣

slithytoveisascientist · 25/01/2024 17:53

Just need to echo my utter disbelief at how poor so many people's reading comprehension is AND how fast those same people are to jump in with a critical opinion 😂

OP DH has overreacted.

Ffs he’s overreacting, I had a dream I shagged Tom cruise last week 😂 told my husband about it too and no I’m not being a cool wife - sounds like your husband has issues. It was a dream fgs.
