Is it normal to dream about my dead ex whilst with a new partner

4 Comments

My girlfriend died a year ago, it was extremely unexpected and I’ve still not gotten over it. In the mean time I have gotten into a relationship with someone I’ve known for years, however recently I’ve been having dreams about my ex who passed - the dreams have been of a sexual nature and have disturbed me a great deal.

My current partner is very supportive over the loss however I feel guilty for 1. Moving on so quickly and 2. Having these feelings/thoughts/dreams of a dead person (though she’s alive in the dreams) as I feel it’s somewhat disrespectful to my current girlfriend and disrespectful to the memory of my ex. All in all, I’ve got a lot of mixed emotions about this and feel very confused. On one hand I’m only in my 20’s and feel that i should move on but on the other I still have a lot of unresolved emotions about the loss.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

        yea that will do it. i just get so curious about how people die that all. Hey , you dont have to let the dead go like they meant nothing to you. they were real when they were alive and that still counts . I recently found out an old dear friend died 7 years ago. She was 50 and i havent a clue how she bought it. I'm only 61 and so many of my friends have died already. you do whatever it takes to handle this and dont beat yourself up over it.

    You say you’re not over her, but you have a new gf. Guilty conscience.
