I am sure my dp has this. We dont sleep together any longer and havent for 2 years, dp talks 'dirty' in his sleep and I now have anxiety attacks, that if we sleep together i will hear it. Please tell me someone else has dealt with this. Our relationship is going downhill fast, no sex, no cuddles and i think it is because we ar enot sleeping together...

Hiya, I don't have experience of this but I didn't want your post to go unanswered. I'm sorry you are feeling anxious about all this. Can I ask why aren't you having sex any more? Could you try to slowly get your sex life back on track? Would that help?

my dh has a variant of this. I know how you feel. He gropes and tries to have sex with me while asleep. Sounds funny but is not. I think counseling if he will. Will be back later.

Is this like when a partner goes to sleep before you. You might be reading still when you get a hand on your crotch and nightshirt lifted. Their eyes might be bloodshot and glazed as if asleep. You brush them away and they have no recollection in the morning?

I have this, and I feel so uncomfortable in bed because I dread the "lunge" in his sleep. Not all the time, mind!
