Today, my girlfriend broke up with me for a familiar reason; I apparently have night terrors that make me "Impossible to sleep in the same room with." I don't ever remember these dreams. Every other girlfriend I've had has ended up breaking things off with me for the same reason. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend of one year broke up with me because I started having PTSD induced night terrors. On my birthday as well. FML
Today, I woke up after having a nightmare that my girlfriend broke up with me. Needing reassurance, I told her about it. She became furious with me saying that she'd never do that and called me an "inconsiderate fucking bastard for even thinking that." Then she broke up with me. FML
Today, after my girlfriend had a nightmare this morning, I stayed home because she has really bad anxiety issues. A couple of hours later, she's pissed because I said I would stay up, but I fell asleep. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me after I told her I was learning how to start having lucid dreams. She was convinced the only reason I could possibly want to have them was so I could cheat on her in my own dreams. FML
Today, my girlfriend of a year broke up with me because I didn't fight some guy that started hitting her right in front of me... In a dream. She was totally serious. FML
Today, the girl of my dreams that I've been dating for months called me. Apparently she's been having recurring nightmares of me cheating on her. She dumped me "just in case." FML
Today, I woke up from an amazing dream I was having about my girlfriend. We were laughing and holding hands, the kind of dream I wanted to stay asleep for. When I finally got up, I was excited to tell her about the dream but then I remembered. We broke up a week ago. FML
Today, I had a nightmare and woke up in a cold sweat. My girlfriend was in bed with me at the time, and swears I yelled out another girl's name. She considers this proof that I'm cheating on her, and now she won't even speak to me. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke me up at 5am to tell me she was mad at me. Apparently I did something bad in her dream. She still won't talk to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 4 perfectly happy years together. The reason? He had a dream in which his dead former girlfriend from when he was 13 told him she still loved him. He now believes his dead childhood sweetheart is trying to contact him and I'm "in the way of their love." FML

People rarely remember night terrors, not your fault. Just find a nice deaf girl.

Sorry that you suffer from them but if previous partners dump you for the same reason and you haven't seen a doctor about them, it kinda is your fault... :(

I am SO sorry. I have anxiety/panic disorder, and let me tell you for those who ignorantly want you to go to therapy, you can't talk yourself down or give yourself CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) in your sleep. So I have the night terrors despite my therapy. *hugs*

That's not completely true. You don't remember WHY you woke up in the first place, but you definitely remember waking up terrified and screaming.

Seek professional help...

Try giving your new girlfriend "a heads up" before she ever sleeps with you. Since you cannot help it she has a choice to either deal with it or tell you straight out. This way less hurt on both parts.

It helps weed out the ones that don't love you as much as they might claim. Think of it as a gift.

I think you should let them know sometime before the first time you sleep together. If they still leave you, then they obviously don't care enough for you to either a) help you do something about it or b) deal with it because they love you.

I would highly recommend you go to a sleep clinic... :S because that's awful for this to happen to you as often as it has!
