I said something in my sleep?

Question

We've been on a couple of bad weeks.  Normally our relationship is great but somethings out of our control have happened and for the first time ever we are not arguing, just not getting along well. I took a sleeping pill last night since the past few weeks have been hard and I'm not sleeping well.   Apparently last night I looked my fiance in the eye and told him I wanted to move out.  I just couldn't figure out how to do it.  I don't remember saying this and have absolutely no reason to want to move out.  We've always had a rule that what you say in your sleep doesn't count.  Now today we are not getting along well and trying to avoid each other.  He is very hurt and doesn't seem to understand that I don't even remember this.  What to do?

You're right what you say in your sleep doesn't count. Just explain to him that dreams are completely random especially if you took a sleeping pill and you do not want to move out at all. Like I had a dream about kissing this guy that I used to know in the past, but have never ever felt anything romantic for him. In fact, I really dislike the guy for doing something horrible to me 2 years ago. I never told my bf because it doesn't matter and I know I don't feel anything for this guy. Hope you guys work everything out talking is always best

Sleeping pills make people say lots of things.  You could have been remembering a "can this marriage be saved" article from Good Housekeeping or something.  He needs to realize that and you can't force him, but maybe have him read this: http://www.sleepfoundation.org/article/sleep-related-problems/sleep-talking it doesn't mention the sleeping pills, but I know that sleeping pills do in fact kick people into it.

My sister talks in her sleep all the time, will have whole conversations, and refuses to admit it.

She totally biochied me out one day because I didn't get her up to get the laundry out of the dryer and her clothes were wrinkled.  I told her to listen to me (we don't normally swear or talk very "casually" to each other as we weren't raised that way - we have manners...) and I told her I went in 5 times to try to get her up (she was "laying down for 30 minutes while they finished drying) and the 5th time she screamed at me that she knew, was awake, getting up, and stop bothering her.  I didn't bother going back in a 6th.

I still think she doesn't believe me REALLY but she at least pretended to.  She always says she's a really light sleeper and wakes up if anything moves and all that but I know it's not true.

She also said I had sleep apnea because I snore really bad.  I had a sleep test and I don't get any good deep sleep (which is common with people like me who have fibromyalgia) but I don't have sleep apnea and I didn't snore one time!!  She's got to be hearing snoring in her sleep (maybe she is snoring!) and then when she wakes up she thinks it's me that was doing it.  I know her husband is aweful and her 9yo does it too... but she blames me just because I'm overweight and EVERYONE who is overweight has sleep apnea... yeah right.

2 things spring out to me ,either you do want to move out and feel this is the only thing to do in your subconcious or infact your partner is pulling a fast one because he actually feels like that but wants to put the blame on you,either way I hope you sort things soon.
