Finally got a good nights sleep last night. It was the first night that I did not dwell on XW being with OM. Since she left I was having a terrible time trying to get a decent nights sleep. I usually average about 4 hours a night and feel horrible in the morning, but last night was different. I don't know if my subconcious is finally accepting that the marriage is over or what. I guess we will see how the rest of the week goes. Has anybody else had any problems with getting a good nights sleep? I usually remember my dreams from the night before but since D day I have not remembered any of my dreams. I don't know if that is good or bad. I think that I will ask my counselor about it. Why do you think goes through the mind of the WS when they break the news to the BS? I don't think that they realize the pain and suffering that they have caused to the BS. It just seems to be to easy to leave and never really tell the true reasons why they are leaving. Let me know what you all think.

Yes, sleep has been a difficult thing for me too. The first few weeks hardly any sleep at all. Then for about 6 months I slept pretty good - almost 8 hours per night. Now, I usually wake up 3-4 times per night with THEM on my mind. My STBX can sleep at the drop of a hat. I think maybe he has missed 5 nights of sleep through this entire ordeal. I have no clue what goes through his mind. Sometimes I see glimpses of the old husband but for the most part he is a total stranger. When it comes to sleep, try to do the best that you can. I take naps every chance I get - it helps me make it through the day. Good Luck!
