I Will Never Forgive Him.

PTSD or not I will never forgive my ex. A month ago I was discarded because I found his and his ex name from a wedding registry website while google searching his name out of curiosity. and when I tried to contact his ex for answers he blew up and ripped me apart.

Last April he broke up with me. A week after the break up I initiated no contact. I tried to take a break and explore Miami for 2 days (I experience caregiver burnout and need breaks). Meanwhile he kept emailing how much he missed me and happy birthday and I was still vulnerable emotionally trying to ignore. A week later I finally gave in and talked for closure. He said he wanted to "start things slow" and that we were twin flames and that he was "sorry". He even said he would rather die than not have me in his life.

I told him that he needs to visit me if he wants real closure. I made sacrifices for this relationship. I gave him money for loan payments, a massage table (he is a massage therapist), gave him money for gas and I spent more money for our first visit last Dec. He said he would pay me back $350 for even out the contribution of our visit (to make it seem like we both financially supported our trip) I gave him my virginity. I shared everything. I f*cking tried. Oh...and after 3 years HE said we can only see each other for 2 1/2 days. I had no choice but to go because after so many years of extreme stress I just wanted something good to happen. So I flew to him.

Back to the wedding registry issue. He begged me not to contact her. Called me 10+ times. I was frozen and did not understand what was going on. Through out the relationship he always talked about how abusive his ex was and that she raped him and that she is an alcoholic. How they meet? He was kicked out and lived with her. He chose to have sex with her (he blamed the size of the house and that he is a man that needs sex). He said that she forced him to be in a relationship with her.

What he said to me? "You ruin lives" "We had peace and you ruined it" "You killed me" "I don't know who you are anymore" "You plotted revenge" "You destroyed me" All this because I wanted answers. The ex nicely gave me permission to talk to her and she said she knew everything (including my suicide tendencies). She told me that for 5 years he told her that he loves her and wants her in his life. Meanwhile he pretty much cussed me out and said he wanted nothing to do with me anymore and that I was wrong contacting her and that I didn't listen to his begging.

Oh. And he lied to me about his past relationships. Turns out the "forced relationship" was mutual AND that he cheated on another ex after 6 months of marriage (refusing to give her a divorce) AND that in 2007 he was diagnosed as a sex addict and had 240+ partners since the age of 14. He also said that he forced himself to have a relationship with me and others even though deep down he loved being alone. He said that me and his ex made him go gay. He said to me "I hope you would be perfect for me, but you are not ...now I want to be alone". That made me feel like utter shit that I was not "perfect" enough for him. This man is 29 years old.

His last words? You already destroyed my life GET THE f*ck OFF GO AWAY.

For 5 years he and his ex talked. Yet I was blamed for ruining his life for contacting his ex for answers?

I don't care of he has PTSD. Not after what he had done to me. If this woman caused him "hell" like he claimed why the hell can he do something about it? Restraining order? Blocking her? Something? He never done anything. I have been blamed enough through out my damn life from other people's issues. It's like my humanity is a threat. I can't be human because they already idolized me as some nice angel! I am not!

He said my suicidal threats were emotionally abusive....well his emotional neglect was abusive too. I would sit for hours with problems in my head while he purposely ignored me. He ALWAYS thought I was angry, rage, controlling, etc. We'll his passive aggressiveness was abusive. So if threatening suicide is considered abusive then I will just conclude PTSD is abusive then too because you know? suicide is STILL a damn stigma. He judges me for my depression diagnose yet shame on me for triggering him?????!!!! Yup... OHHHH I really wanted to hurt my ex by saying I WANTED TO DIE from the stress of the got damn relationship. Sure. Yup. Yup. It's ALWAYS my fault in the end. You know? When you are suicidal you can't be rational it's utter horror....but sure call me abusive like he did. smfh. I've been in therapy for a month to deal with it.

I am tired. After 3 years it comes to this.

Deny, attack reverse victim and offender. DARVO. Search that term and you will find some tasty links on the subject.

...Yeah, he has probably had a past involving abuse...yeah, he probably has PTSD. That is an explanation, not an excuse. There is no excuse.

Don't take the blame for this. It's not you.
Do take anything of positive worth on to the next romantic partner.
I was in a 10-year sucky marriage...I wish I'd learned the lessons I needed to faster? But I can probably make my second marriage work because of what I learned in the first.
You deserve better; I encourage you to find better.
 
I'm sorry that you dealt with an emotionally abusive man. I know that you are tired but be thankful that you got rid of him. I know someone who is exactly like your ex and he's one of my prime abusers. He is my mum's narcissistic brother who is a sex addict, blames others for his abusive /ruthless behavior, runs after money, had three legal relationships while slept around with many other women, he feels that he has a right to berate other while the reverse is not allowed because you are "NOT" allowed to speak back to him.

Not trying to change the topic want to congratulate you that you got out of a toxic relationship. That guy wasn't worth your time nor he deserved you. He used your emotional vulnerability against you. He sounds like a control freak, narcissist and I'm sure he has borderline personality disorder.

It'll take a while in therapy before you start feeling yourself again but till then keep working on yourself and know that you deserve better not some moron like this guy.
 
I don't know why but you find quite a lot that people use the PTSD diagnosis as an excuse to be a c*nt. But I guess sometimes people will use any diagnosis or anything for that matter as an excuse for being a shit.

PTSD does not give anyone the right to treat people badly, blame everyone and generally be an arse. Of course we all do things and say things in the heat of the moment when we feel scared/triggered or just stressed out, but that's what apologies are for and learning from our mistakes. I guess if you can't treat your supporter with some decency and respect you should NOT be in a relationship, if you have to break up and work through your issues then that's just the way is has to be. As a sufferer we can't use it as an excuse to treat people like shit.
 
He consistently says "You're always angry" "You are hypersensitive" "You have rage". Overtime I believed it. So I became more angry. It's like a nightmare. I believed that I was this toxic being. My psyche became distorted. He compared me to his mother who suffers from bipolar disorder and his ex. Mentally I became weak and had no motivation. I always felt like a failure. He said I can't give him emotional support and never gave him unconditional love. It's terror being judged. Now I am scared having emotions. I am scared being myself. I always wonder what I did wrong.
 
If he just admit that he can't give me what I need rather than disassociate weeks on end after an argument and wait for me to be calm, "perfect" and forgetful about his broken promises then this wouldn't HAVE to go to flames. Now I feel embarrassed because he told others about my suicide tendencies and that is deeply personal and something I am working on. But in the end I blame myself for not leaving first. I feel so bad that I did this to myself. There were red flags. Now he is telling everyone that he "tried" to break up wit me but he couldn't because of my depression and suicide. That is a LIE. When he broke up with me last April I cried and was devastated but a week later stopped talking to him asking him to leave me alone. never did I once threaten suicide. I was the one trying to break up with him but he always say "I won't chase you then". "I am almost done with my program so I can make money to close our distance (which never happened...another lie)" He wouldn't care. He even admitted to me that an ex said she will leave him and he just stood there doing nothing. I know not all people with PTSD are bad but I am more than confused. I feel like he just wants me to blame myself deep down for ruining his "dream".
