My Boyfriend Won't Touch Me And Its Driving Me Crazy!

[winterwishes_4_summerkisses]

I believe that with God all things are possible. He's very fortunate to have you in his life. I think he's scared and confused. I'm new to the forum, but from everything I'm reading this is common. Your BF really needs your support and I know its gotta be hard cause you want it to be reciprocated. I've been feeling this way too. I often wonder if I were in his shoes and he in mine would he even stick around. I'm going to wait as long as I can for him to come around b/c I really do care about him. I hope everything works out for you.

My question to you what kind of PTSD do you have where did you get yours from was it from the war.

Midnightlady,

My boyfriend suffers from PTSD caused by prolonged trauma from being a police officer and I suffer from childhood abuse, witnessing a horrible accident and a few other things. The worst part about my boyfriends PTSD is that he went almost 17 years without treatment so as they say old habits die hard and so do old wounds! I am getting much better at being patient with him and finding things to keep myself busy and focussed on other things!

winterwishes: thank you for your kind words. I too hope things get better for you aswell!

I hope so, too. Thank you very much. Perhaps, I should do like you and keep myself busy. I will try.

Yes Winterwishes keeping busy is one of the only thing that helps! I draw and write A LOT!!! my bf thinks I should start selling some of my work, but I told him that I couldn't because it was mine and far too full of my emotions to let someone pay money to have them! I have a couple friends who joined a kickboxing class together to keep busy because their bf and husband have similar issues. So I guess just find something that you enjoy and that you can lose yourself in and let that be your focus when you know you are going to get frustrated!
