Reading your posts I could have written them myself. It's such a confusing and painful time, a ptsd breakup is the worst kind IMO! I'm so angry at my ex, towards the end of our relationship he wouldn't communicate with me at all, unless it was sexual. He said all he was good for was sex. He said...

That's good that you're getting help for that. Being with someone who has ptsd can mean LOTS of time without them. I don't know your circumstances or your relationship boundaries, but for me personally, I kept busy living MY life. When he was in it, that was a bonus.

@Glara I understand the position you are in, I struggled HUGELY with this myself. In the end the decision was taken from me. He blocked me, and disappeared. He was a coward and he had no respect for me in the end. But he has saved me from further pain, he did something I was too afraid to do...

Five years we have LOVED one another and you disappear from my life while I'm asleep!! I was there for you through everything and you leave me like a coward. You expected that I would understand you but you didn't talk to me. You weren't easy! You were hard work! But I did it...I did it to the...

@OhSoLittleMouse I don't want to be in a troubled relationship, and I'm not, we are not together. I am moving on with my life and he is aware of that. This is the first time he has spoken to me in this way, I won't tolerate it from him again. If he wants my friendship he needs to respect it. His...

I'm no longer in a relationship with "my" sufferer, but we have maintained regular contact since he ended it. I still love him even though we are not together, and I didnt want to close the door on him completely. We have talked, as friends, and there was no tension, no expectations. Although...

@Nadia thank you

Hi all. I guess I'm no longer a "supporter" as my man broke it off in a text message However, my question is, are there any support groups in or near Melbourne for supporters or ex supporters? I love my friends dearly, but they just don't get it. Sometimes I feel like a vent with people who have...

I feel betrayed to be honest, and I feel guilty because I feel that way. He expected me to understand his limits, and his needs, without ever explaining them to me.

Hey @Cashew, I'm trying very hard to cope, but not doing a great job of it.

I have no idea what to do or what is going on. He ended our 5 year relationship in a text message and I haven't heard from him since. So all I can do is move on as best I can.

Yes. He told me that something happened, but to this day he has never talked about it. Not to me, and the last I knew, not to anyone else.

@AnnaLost this is a huge part of "my" man's struggles now also. He also doesn't have words.

Thank you all for your responses. "My" sufferer was raised in a WCG offshoot, aka a cult. They instilled fear to control their members. Any family members who weren't a part of it, they weren't to have a relationship with. When I met him he had already left, on his own terms, and he was very...

@Sweetpea76 thank you. You're absolutely right. He steps into the 'relationship' category often, and then jumps out and plays the 'friend' card when he gets overwhelmed. I love him and I have allowed him to do that. Although he didn't hurt me intentionally, our relationship breakup and the...
