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.

Wow what a brag, night terrors are extremely terrifying and you don't remember them. Ever. Thats a terrible reason to break up with you, you will eventually grow out of them.

You might need to see Dr. Phil.

The definition of a night terror is a frantic dream in which you completely lose your shit that you have no recollection of the next day. Your girlfriends, on the other hand, will remember. See a shrink pronto.

A frantic dream in which you completely loose your shit. Yeah, I think I read that in the Oxford dictionary.

You need to see a doc, there are drugs for that!

There are drugs for everything. May I refer you to P!nk's song "Ave Mary A"

hmm, well have you ever told these girls that it has been a problem in the past, perhaps they are using it as an excuse to break up with you for another reason.

I've always had really bad night terrors for a good few years but I never remembered any of them!! In the end I went into a health food shop and told them that I sleepwalk, talk and scream. They recommended me some stuff to take (it's called mega-stress complex) and it really does work!! I only mumble in my sleep the odd time now. So I'd defo suggest you go to your nearest health food shop :) just so you know, they only start taking effect after about 6 weeks of taking them. I hope you get on ok if you do go in the end! :)

looks like its time to get some professional help. there are sleep labs where doctors can monitor you as you sleep. go see a shrink who specializes in this. worst case, when you find the girl you just cant let go, separate bedrooms. there's no reason why a couple HAS to sleep together in the same bed. And if it's for a valid medical reason, whatever.
