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.

"...The horror...The horror..." (a la Marlon Brando style in 'Apocalypse Now.') Convert that to; "...A *****...A *****..." & you'll be too shagged out to have nightmares afterwards!

so why not go to a sleep center and have them confirm it to see if they give you medicine to help?

Have you ever slept in the same bed as your girlfriend/boyfriend? It's the nicest thing in the world! Therefore it's cozy to sleep in the same bed. You've missed out on something big.

I find that an inexcusable reason to break up with someone... I don't understand how people can't handle shit like that, it really isn't that big of a deal. My boyfriend has a similar problem, and I certainly wouldn't think something like that warrants breaking up >_

My boyfriend doesn't have night terrors, but he frequently kicks me in his sleep. If sleeping with someone is too uncomfortable, you find ways to make it more comfortable.

There is no such thing as an inexcusable reason to break up with someone.

Mine has had sleep paralysis/night terrors where he thinks I'm whispering creepy things in his ear and moans like he's in pain. I just wake him up a little and he goes back to sleep normally.

Time to visit the doctor then don't you think.

Hope you're not referring a GP. I think someone with a psychology degree or a clinical social worker would be more beneficial. But if that's what you meant, then I totally agree. You need therapy OP. I see a therapist, and I have no clue what I would do without her.

A GP could refer him to a good and suitable psychologist if he doesn't know one.

I guess you're right, haha. I found my therapist through my insurance and their provider search. Then I googled a few therapist for reviews. She's been pretty great, lol :D

O my god i'm so sorry thats horrible! I use to have night terrors when I was a little kid. Even though I couldnt remember having them I would wake up exhausted and my sister would be pissed off at me. Im sorry that all your girlfriends have been so shallow to dump you for something you cant control.

My brother-in-law has night terrors too. He sleep walks and fights "demons" in the coat room all the time. Seen doctors and still nothing could be done to stop it other than make sure your body isn't overly tired before you go to bed.

My dad would scream bloody murder in his sleep. Terrifying to hear as a child.
