Agree with Mytime - just go along and have some fun.

(((Hugs))). I've been through that too, twice, over the past 9 years. But we never really forgot one another. Granted, I didn't understand it was ptsd in the past, he wouldn't ever let me see it. He would just cut me off and I'd be exactly like you wondering wtf just happened. I would get...

Oh I forgot this - this will always be a part of him. So if you're planning on a long term relationship, then find your stride now because it is likely to happen again. I've done a lot of crying and had time off work. I've cried on my mother's couch, at work, in the car, in the coffee shop...

I think you have to give it time. I don't get responses to I miss you, either. Aside from my initial panic phase which lasted about 4 weeks from him withdrawing and shutting down, I've gotten myself into a good, strong place now. It's sort of like acceptance. We have always been close and...

Welcome to your special new light in the world. Wishing him love, happiness and peace. xo

You haven't failed him. I've learned to say things in a way that doesn't ask questions. Questions seem to be too hard. I'll email/text things like 'just touching base to check you're ok or if you need anything. I'm here for you'.

I emailed him, but did it from a calm energy, not an anxious one. He replied fairly quickly. Said he just wants to curl up in a corner and be invisible, and there's a sadness that has hold of his soul. Finding it hard to get out of bed. He actually greeted me with a term of affection and ended...

I don't have any answers. It's really tough and hard and sucks big hairy balls. The hardest part for me has been to let go of trying to do anything. Sometimes I panic and think if I don't stay in touch with him, he'll forget I'm there, or worse think I've walked away. He's an adult and has...

My guy has combat ptsd, but while dealing with that went through about 5 years of emotional, financial, and mental abuse by his wife. He has complex ptsd as a result. After a bit of digging around, I came across articles about post traumatic relationship syndrome/disorder - maybe look into...

Haven't contacted him in 3 days. I know he'd reply if I asked if he was ok. But I want him to contact me first. I nearly caved yesterday and had an hour or so where I talked myself down. Figured it was just a feeling and I didn't have to act on it. I'm learning stuff about myself too, it seems.

I can't really add more to what's already been said. Stock up food for yourself, even if it's tinned. Get out of the house and walk your baby if it's safe to do so. Rocking around in the stroller will probably put your baby to sleep. My first two were easy-as, they both slept thru the night at 6...

My middle daughter left home at 14 and shacked up with a 19 year old guy for at least 6 months. I would be on the phone a LOT to the police (statutory rape yeah?), to the point that she phoned me at work one day asking me to tell the police to leave them alone. Ummm, no. The advice from the...

He replied tonight that he's really struggling, trying to get his head around what's going on. He said that PTSD is so hard and painful at times that interacting just completely drains him. That he tried to explain to me what is going on is exactly why I love him. For the record, I did not...

Oh wow. I had a dummy spit at him on Friday night by email, which then turned into arguing back and forth all afternoon on Saturday. It sort of ended up ok, not great, but ok. So I then sent an email saying I was at saturation point with talking about ptsd and could we talk about something...

I've had a perforated ulcer which is no fun at all. Peritonitis sucks. Wishing you good results and intervention before that happens.
