There is no gentle way to tell an arachnophobe...

BF: [thrashing]

Me: Sweetie, are you having a bad dream?

BF: [Grunt.]

Me: What happened?

BF: I don't want to tell you because it's kind of unpleasant.

Me: I think I can handle it - was it about exes or a tragedy or something?

BF: No, I don't want to go into it.

Me: Why? Was it about us?

BF: No, I just don't want to talk about it.

Me: Why not? Is everything okay?

BF: [Sigh] Okay, well, it involved a spider...
