    Is it cheating?

    by , 04-11-2011 at 06:53 PM (549 Views)
    So for the past few nights, I've been having some interesting sexual dreams. I have been very happily with my boyfriend for over 3 years, and even after a child our sex life has remained very healthy. The dreams involve men who I have been attracted to in the past, usually that I went to high school with. While I'm having these dreams, they are very vivid and very pleasurable. I wake not necessarily feeling guilty. Also, after having the dreams I feel a very strong pleasure looking back on them. I am very nervous about telling my boyfriend, really I'm not sure I even should. Could someone give me some insight as to what they mean?

      You shouldn't feel guilty. You dont tell your body what to dream, it does it on its own. Usually its just to get some useless memories out of the way. Its only natural to feel pleasure when you look back at them so don't feel guilty, but if you want to tell your boyfriend thats up to you. It might start up some unwanted drama. This is only a phase, it will probably pass really quick

      I've had dreams like this also, sometimes I tell my boyfriend and sometimes I keep it to myself depending on how emotional I feel towards the dream. But, my boyfriend and I are both into dreams, so he's very understanding. Don't feel bad, it's completely normal and everyone has dreams that they feel guilty about. Even your boyfriend probably does and doesn't say anything. It's totally natural. And dreams are only what they mean to you, as long as you don't misinterpret and act upon these fantasies, it's healthy.

      You can't cheat on someone with your dreams or your thoughts. It's your actions that matter. You don't stop feeling attracted to people just because you have a partner so it's no surprise if they end up in your dreams, which contains your subconscious thoughts. Furthermore your dreams are private - you choose to share them with others. If you do tell him it's because you need reassurance, not because you feel that you have to/should. He should be supportive overall. Hope that helps.

      Thanks everyone, that helped a lot. I've been thinking about it and it is just some left over emotion which I am working out in myself.
