I have this thing where if my bf doesn't sleep in the same bed with me at night then there's something wrong like they don't want me or they're mad at me or something...bottom line is I get very offended.

The last 2 nights my bf has been sleeping on the couch...he'll be watching tv and falls asleep on the couch. I know I'm overreacting, but it really affects me when I have to sleep alone and don't have to.

Hi.

I have been where you are...and your instincts are right on the mark.

After my husband died I had a 3 year relationship with an untrustworthy man. I later discovered that he would sleep on the couch after having a fling with someone else.

I suspected it..but chose to boot it out of my mind until something clicked in me...and I thought "no more"..."I am taking the blinders off. Let the chips fall where they may". After discovering some really powerful evidence.. I confronted him...and told him to get out. It was hard. It was the hardest thing..I believe I have ever done. But I have never regretted it for a second in all these years since.

This heel has subsequently been married 3 times with children by all three women. God bless them!

You see...I knew that I deserved better!!

I hope I have not upset you..rather... I hope that I have conveyed that you are not alone in your experience...and remember you deserve better.

Have you talked to him about sleeping on the couch? PM me if you want to. This is too important to ignore.

I know that sometimes it could be the result of infidelity, but I know my man is faithful. He never goes anywhere without me...he can't stand to be away from me. Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone.

Hubby did that for a while. Then I talked to him about it and it stopped. Plus, if, by chance, he does fall asleep on the couch and I wake up I go out, turn the tv off, and tell him to come to bed. It only seems to happen when he is super tired and super stressed. Personally, I don't think it's a problem, but that's just me. Tell him how you feel. Chances are, he'll fix it.
