Fight or Flight So last night my SO fell asleep on the couch. I came downstairs to get him to come up to bed.

We are both fight. I shook him to wake him and he hit me. I'm a rather light sleeper, and one time I heard him say "come here baby" talking to our son and brushed against me to pick him up. I didn't put two and two together right away that it was him, and I sat up really fast and cracked him square in the jaw. I apologized all day long. I mean, don't do that man. I thought you were trying to take my kid! Lol

I'm flight, I jumped off the bed once when I thought there was a spider in my face. As for my husband...is there a lay there like a lump option? I wake him up, he makes a few noises and then goes back to sleep...

True story, my sister had some friends come over when she was like 12, and one of her friends was so obnoxious and rude. She kept banging on my door to wake up and yelling at me. I was 18 at the time, and wanted to be a typical teen and sleep. I didnt even know her that well. She wound up coming into my room because she found the key to my room and I didn't know it. So she was cowering by my feet tickling them and I wound up straight kicking her in the face. I honestly didn't mean to, it was just reflex. I thought an animal was on me.

I used to flee but after being in an abusive relationship for so long, my natural instinct is to fight, now. I have flashbacks from feeling helpless and I immediately jump to defend myself. U bleed like I bleed so we're both going to bleed

Fight. Dh is also fight

I would say a little if both. My first instinct when scared is hide, but not before grabbing a weapon.

I'm fight ?

Dh thinks it's great to scare me when I'm cleaning, when I wear headphones with my music up loud.

I once beat him with the broom because he wasn't supposed to be home for another hour.

He is also fight. I hate waking him up because he has gotten violent ?

I refuse to wake him up if I can.

Both. One time while pregnant Ice had a picture of a clown as her profile pic (lol) and I was cruising bb before bed. I had a dream about that stupid clown and DH was trying to calm me down. When I woke up I thought he was still the damn clown and kicked/pushed him right out of the bed ?

I think it depends. If I'm in a Halloween horror house I wouldn't go punching but if I get scared out of nowhere i fight!

DH is different if he gets scared no matter what kind it is, he laughs

He's fight, I'm flight.

Almost got the crap beaten out of me cause I woke him up from a deep sleep by accident. Realized it was me and not an intruder as he was pulling back to punch me in the face.

My husband and I are both fighters. When we wake each other up we poke and then step back really fast lol

Iam a complete fighter and so is my husband. I have punched people several times if Iam startled asleep. I actually almost punched the doctor while I was hospitalized last week. He came in and grabbed the blanket in the dark to do an ultrasound and thought it wouldnt wake me. I jumped and kicked but missed him.

My husband once 'punched' me in his sleep, there wasn't much force but not a nice way to be woken up! He was very sorry. He was having a fight in his dream ?

I don't know if I'm fight or flight, I think it depends. Definitely fight if my kids are involved!

Fight.

A few weeks ago I fell asleep on the couch and so put his face like an inch in front of mine and I punched him in the face by accident lol.

Invest in a squirt gun and padded armor. Then run like hell. ?

I'm thankful for his fighter instincts, but I'm tired of having to worry about getting kicked or punched!

I'm fight he's flight. He does girly screams while I would punch you in the face. Lol

That is true newly. I guess I've never really felt truly threatened.

My SO feels threatened all the time I guess. Haha

Instinctively, we are all fight when truly threatened.

Fight ? when I was pregnant I was having this horrible vivid nightmare and my fiance was trying to be sweet and kiss my cheek to wake me up. Wellll that didn't go well, I thought I was still dreaming and I guess I woke up and had my hand around his neck.? I started crying I felt horrible, he understood I was having a nightmare.

Ugh my husband does this.. When I have to wake him up I poke him and back up ????
