@Gadgie - my partner did have PTSD and was only shutting me down while he would communicate with others. He never put any effort in trying to maintain communication with me. I communicated that I was there for him, loved him, etc. All he ever did was to treat me like his worst enemy and ended up shutting me down completely. With or without ptsd... how can you fit in your head that the person you love wouldn't even care enough to just be there for you in simple way... ? In the end, I wasn't even worth a simple text message.
