Been nearly three months since D-day and we are making great progress. The quality time we spend with each other is incredible and she really misses me when we are not together. Even being in different rooms for an extended time bothers her because she misses me so much. Before, it was nothing for her to anxiously go out with the OM and not miss me. She could go for hours not seeing or talking to me and she didn't care. I've never been able to go long without talking to her, touching her, being with her, etc. Today, we are like a new loving couple.

Lately, one of the things I'm having problems with is that I'm having nightmares about my FWW A. When she holds me at nights while sleeping I don't have the dreams, but we don't always hold each other (I'm a restless sleeper) and that seems to be when my nightmares occur. I'm sure if I analyze them it would be safe to say that I'm afraid we will go back to what we once were and by her holding me I feel secure in what we now have and that let's me sleep more peacefully.

Anyone else ever have nightmares?

This sounds normal. After my A, my GF had nightmares. After the recent exposure, she had more nightmares. She unfortunately had excessive nightmares (long story) but was able to get medication for them.

Not to sound disheartening, but we are over 10 months past D-Day and I still have horrendous nightmares nearly every night.

I try to analyze them sometimes, but they are pretty busy events.

Sometimes I use:

I had nightmares regularly about the A. Now I have one every few weeks or so.

Just so you don't feel all alone I dream that my wife and her lover are naked in bed together. I see them sitting up with the covers around their waists and they're laughing at me. I'm not angry in the dream, only inexpressibly upset and desperate to find some way to convince my wife that she should love me and not him. The dream ends with me searching the streets of Manhattan trying to find them again. Sometimes the details are different but that's pretty much the dream. It's not really a nightmare but it always wakes me up crying.

I have had 4 nightmare in 4 straight days now. Since d-day I can't remember having nightmares about OM, but now all of a sudden I'm having them every night.
