Made a total twat of myself with new boyfriend, have I messed it up?

[Hadriana]

Been together 6 months. Last night I was dreaming about being beaten up by my partner, woke up but wasn't fully awake, jumped out of bed, fell over and hit my head on the wall, partner jumped out of bed and came running over, I thought he was going to beat me and was screaming at him to leave me alone and not hurt me and then I woke up properly and realised what was going on, apologised to him and said I was just having a wierd dream. He went to work this morning and I've not heard from him. He thinks I'm a freak doesn't he.

Only if he isn't a decent man. And if he isn't a decent man he's not worth it.

It may have given him a bit of a fright. It will probably have woken him quite suddenly. My DH sleep talks, and occasionally he will move or sit up, and it startles me from sleep which is quite a horrible feeling. However, he can't help it, and neither can you.
Does he know about what your Ex did to you? He may not know what to say for the best. Give him a chance. Maybe tell him the dream really upset and frightened you, and see what he says?

If you think he's to keep, then you may want to explain to him exactly what happened.

I wonder why you had that dream, though.
Do you have them often?

I'm sure he will understand! Telling him in detail may freak him out a little especially the 'beaten up by him' bit!

i think any reasonable person wouldn't walk out on a relationship because of a bad dream! Does he know about DV from your ex?

Does he know your history?

If I was with someone who behaved like you, I'd find it very funny TBH. But only if I didn't know about past DV.

If I knew about the DV I'd be quite concerned about you and feel a bit worried about you, but in all honesty I would be questioning whether you'd recovered sufficiently enough from your past relationship to be embarking on this one and it would make me a bit wary until I got to know you better and decide one way or the other.

If he really likes you he won't care. I'd only been seeing my now dh for a few months and one night I had an awful nightmare I can still remember it now and woke up properly screaming think I nearly gave the poor bloke a heart attack. Aside from giving him a shock he didn't care.

I have the craziest dreams. I shout and cry and all sorts. DP just laughs at me because of some of the stuff I do.
Stay lighthearted about it if you can. If you stress about it, it may get worse.
Sorry I don't know about your history but if it was awful maybe counselling? I got suggested it by a doctor because of my dreams.
