Man fuming after wife cheats on him in a dream - and others say he's justified

A man who fell out with his wife after she dreamt she had slept with his best friend has divided opinion among others over whether he's right to be upset.

He explains that he just wants to be alone 'for a little bit' after she told him about the dream, but admits he probably over-reacted because 'we all have those dreams'.

His wife had told him about her dream where they were both over at his best friend's house and he had to go outside to do something, but she couldn't remember what.

When he left, his wife and friend began to get intimate and he says: "When she brings it up she gets a big old smile and says 'yes, I had sex with him'.

"The smile is what hurt me the most."

Others have questioned why she would tell him when it involved his best friend (Getty)

When she told him, he went downstairs to sit by himself to 'cool down' and she came down five minutes later.

He shrugged off his wife when she tried to hug him and she went back upstairs 'swearing and slamming doors'.

The man says he's still angry with her because 'even though it's a dream it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt', especially when it's with his best friend who he's known for years.

Asking if he was wrong to be mad on Reddit, one simply replied to tell him he was 'overreacting'.

Another replied: "Sounds like she was trying to get a reaction out of you. It’s one thing to have a sex dream but to wake up and rub it in your significant other's face? Weird, man. If I were her, I would’ve kept that to myself."

A third wore: "She shouldn't have told you in the way she did - it was insensitive. But you're also overreacting to the dream itself.

"Some people have very vivid dreams, and the content can be pretty surreal. It doesn't mean the content has real-life stakes."
