Hi everyone,
I need to feel that i am not the only one going through this...My husband is getting worse by the minute. I almost feel as if i am living with a stranger at times. His PTSD is affecting (not only his) but my sleep, my work performance at the office, and my over all well-being, not to mention he is affected to the point where he is unable to help me with any of the chores or bills and basically being in a marriage together. He is not doing well at work and wants to leave his job. At home, he just watches tv, or goes on the interent looking for ways to do something different in life and we argue all the time! thats the only thing we do together now :-( argue......... he even forgets to eat some days and he tends to need ALOT of alone time. I feel scared and alone. I know i cannot go to him because he is unable to help me at the moment...he cannot even help himself besides when i try to talk to him about whats going on he does not want to hear it and does not usually pay attention to our conversations.. But i am scared.. I do not know whats going to happen next! Things just keep getting worse :-( We have not had a decent day is almost 3 weeks now.....
I almost feel as if i do not fit anywhere in his life anymore! and its not that he is too busy! its because he has PTSD I dont want to say i feel like a single woman so but i feel like i am in this marriage all on my own.. if that makes sense. I just want my husband back. I want us to be able to laugh together again, get along well, have fun together and just live a happy life together. Will this ever happen or am i on my own for good? I dont feel i fit anywhere in his life :-( I dont feel i can do anything for him in his life anymore.
I feel so out of place.
