I want so badly to just be able to have a normal nights rest

I want so badly to just be able to have a normal nights rest in my own bed. I only sleep in my bed when my boyfriend is over and it causes me great physical pain to sleep in my bed. So for the most part I sleep and basically live on my living room couch. He's coming over in a few hours and I know that I am going to have an even more painful night sleep than normal. I feel so bad for him. We haven't been able to have any sort of romantic relations for almost 6 months. I love him deeply, but I am so afraid that I will lose him over this. He feels so helpless watching me in such pain. And it seems as though I only keep getting worse. I dont know what to do anymore.

Is it like an old bed?

No. Its the most comfortable plush top king size bed, I dont know why sleeping in my bed is so uncomfortable. I think its because on the couch I can sleep slightly sitting up and half on my side, Laying flat pulls on the scars on my abdomen and laying completely on my side puts pressure on my insides, Thats the best i can figure as to why its easier to sleep on my couch,

@zombiepenguin How long you been having problem sleeping?

Tell him just what you told us. It will elimnate fear. Tell hin your concerns and hear his. It can ease the tension to be on the same page.

@blueheron2030 prazosin. Its a high blood pressure medication that just so happens to help eliminate nightmares and night terrors.
