hmm, I am not sure if everyone does that! I suspect, and this is only a guess, that phone calls are a way to reach out to the person instead of spending real time around them. I think if it wasn't PTSD he was now here, moving in with me. There is nothing that really holds him there. I saw in...

yes very similar behavior, partially, I suspect, because they both come from the same culture, that is different than mine but I have adopted it being with my ex for 10 years. The only difference( which makes a huge difference!) is that with my ex it was zero communication, with this one we can...

I have been thinking about a life coach. He suggests healing and therapy. We are both too strong headed to listen to any advice! The life coach that he found for us and we met told us not to start it until he heals...we left the office and the advice altogether holding each others hands!

All very helpful. Thank you very much. I didn't understand what you mean by "Having PTSD feels like this (to me), in or out of relationships."

I get it:oops: thank you!

I see, thank you!

I see, so these 2 are not necessarily PTSD characteristics, right? Thank you for your time writing back to me. Relationships are complicated and yes I did spend a lot of thinking to understand what was wrong in my previous relationship. But I am here with a different question. Answering the...

What you said is very valuable. All the questions you mentioned and how to go about them. I am thinking to get a life coach to help me with this. Not sure if life coaches can help since they probably don't have knowledge about PTSD.

yes Mytime you got it, that is true i am unsure. And as strange as it might sound this is the best taste of a good relationship I have ever experienced in my life and I am in my mid 40s. I have never felt so cared for and connected and "together" with anyone in my life. The good thing is that I...
