Escapism...wow...I think it is the first time I have seen somebody mention that here....and it so reminds me of my exsufferer! I live in Scandinavia and he would talk about buying an RV and drive around the US alone or with a friend or live in Spain during the winter or simply move somewhere...

No - you have to be strong for you ❤️ When I found this site almost a year ago, I hoped the lovely people in here would tell me, that PTSD relationships do work out....I needed a pat on the head and people to say...everything will work out for you and your sufferer. Well! That is not what I...

I agree....especially the confusion part. They want a relationship and a few weeks later they don’t. They are in love and and few weeks later, they don’t know if they are in love....huh?! I spend close to three years in that Limbo....the push/pull....until May last year when I found this site...

One thing you have to learn if you seek help here, is that you may not like the answers. Supporters and sufferers in here have heard stories like yours many, many, many times.....it is classic and we know the PTSD tango all too well. I am an ex supporter. I was in an on/off situationship with...

I love this!

Amen to that!

I could never share my man with another woman OR man....I totally understand why you didn’t like it

Sexting is safe....my guy loves that. But intimacy is scary. Sex is okay with a minimum of intimacy....frustrating as f***! He is working at it....in his head he wants intimacy and he is getting better at it...primarily because I had enough after two years of push-pull and him pulling further...

The same here. Him spending time with his female friends who all adore him and he pulls away from me. I know he just sees them as friends and that he can spend time with them because he has no feelings for them....so they are safe and I am dangerous. So I hear you!

All good ? You just quoted me ?

I am convinced there is no NPD ? but thanks for sharing ? I guess he is protecting himself....you did nothing wrong. He is surviving on a daily basis. That doesn’t make it alright to block you though.

I know just how you feel. It breaks your heart and leaves you scared....afraid to love again. It makes you wonder, if they feel no empathy at all....I still wonder if mine can’t feel empathy ....if CPTSD has done that to him, if his brain is in flight mode and he has no energy to worry about how...

Mixed messages are very confusing....we spend a lot of time over analyzing their statements! Enough to drive you crazy! Just a few weeks ago he said; I can’t imagine not having you in my life as a friend or girlfriend. Say what? Girlfriend? I didn’t ask what he meant by that, because he would...

Mixed messages....classic! Mine did that as well....I want a relationship, I will never get in a relationship again, I can’t feel love towards anyone, I love you a lot more than just a friend, I am not interested in anybody but you, maybe I will fall for someone else....and so on! So I know just...

He behaves like nothing has happened ? Maybe says he has been busy with this or that. We don’t live together. We were neighbors four years and both in relationships before we became involved. We are not in an official relationship. He can’t do relationship anymore. He can’t do intimacy outside...
