We don't do trigger warnings or things like that around here. And obviously this is real life to the person that is posting the original thread. It's not a real ad, it's what the original posters husband expects of her. She has a right to have issue with that.
 
Personally, I appreciate seeing the supporter viewpoint here. It reminds me that my OH is also suffering when I am in a bad patch. I'm so glad that he meant it when he said "for better, for worse; in sickness and in health", but that doesn't give me the right to make his life any worse than is inevitable with a wife suffering from PTSD.
 
I actually asked him what he brought to the relationship. The best he could come up with was "I don't...

*cracks my neck* Huh. His excuse is a nonplus and he's the problem instead of the solution. You are reaching for help and he says this garbage. If that were the case with me, I'd leave his sorry butt on the curb. You need to think about you-not about his opinions.
 
My dad says he brings a whopping good life insurance policy :rolleyes:

Asking military men what they bring to a relationship is -IME- feast or famine.

Looking at your watch 6hours later as they're still regaling you with tales of their sexual prowess -as well as pointing out every. single. paper. towel. That they didn't leave on the counter! and. oh. so. magnanimously. picked. up (for you babe)- and dish they put away, and shoes they stepped over instead of shouting about (because I love you that much... Um. So all the times you yell at me about my shoes? Where's the love, then :O_o: ...don't ruin the moment!!), and other Feats of Manhood! Sexy, daring, sensitive, virile, Feats!!! All for yoooooooooou! :sneaky: :inlove: :cool:

-or-

Some reference to how you'd be better off if they were dead. :dead:

Facepalm.
 
My husband isn't even a serviceman and he will "unload the washer FOR ME" "," take out the laundry for me" like it's my job in the first place :/

I think it's a common theme especially among men that's moms did it all for them, like my husband.
 
I actually asked him what he brought to the relationship. The best he could come up with was "I don't hit you and I don't cheat on you.

I'd love to just engage in the banter (and it is funny!) but this really concerns me. Seriously. I understand its serious for you. I hope you are getting your own support and are in this "relationship" hrmph for the right reasons.
