I just had a dream about my wife

[mduffy31]

I dreamt that she showed up one day and told me that this whole separation was a mistake and that she still did love me. Of course I haven't spoken to her in over a year almost and I saw her parents the other day and they acted like I was a stranger. What does that mean anyway? I still love her but my friends tell me that I am insane and I should just try to move on, but I can't. She is the love of my life and as hard as I try, I just can't get over it. I tried for a awhile and I was causally seeing a former co-worker who is one of the most wonderful people on the planet. The kind of person that has a hard time saying anything bad about anything, and I screwed it up because I have the delusion that my wife still is going to come back. I don't know what the hell I should do, and dreams like this don't help. Okay I am done whining now, I really should go back to bed because I am a night nurse and I have to work tonight at 2300.


I really need some help I guess.

1. If you think you need help, you should get it.

But missing your wife a year after she left is not strange. I remember asking a guy I know, our plumber, how long it took him to get over the fact that his wife left him. "Oh, a long time. I dunno... about three months?" THAT is strange. And of course it is impossible to give your heart to somebody else while you think of her. mduffy31, you need time and maybe you need counseling but you aren't "insane." You're normal. :hug: :hug:

2. You don't sound out of the ordinary to me.

The break up of a marriage is really hard. Counseling can help, it helped me and I know my ex did some and I think it helped him too.

3. It's Not Unusual To Have Such Dreams About Your Ex

All part of the letting go process.
