I(male 28) was holding my gf(female 22) from behind and was dead asleep, I was having a nightmare where I was being attacked and I couldn’t move at all, I kept trying and it was like I was strapped down so with all my might I tried pushing and in real life pushed her in the back of the head.
I didn’t realize what I had done at first and tried to just hold her again but she got really mad and asked why I did that, I was still half asleep and still didn’t realize and said what are you talking about go back to bed. She told me I pushed her in the head and went and slept on the couch, I’ve been apologizing and trying to get her back in bed but she won’t, she said if I keep bothering her she’ll leave.
I feel absolutely terrible and want to fix it, I hate that we’re arguing from something I did in my sleep. Any advice?
TL;DR: Pushed my girlfriend in the back of the head while sleeping and she’s very upset and is sleeping on the couch, what should I do?
*UPDATE* – I left her to sleep on the couch and eventually she came back to the bed and we talked about it and we are good now ☺️
