    Relationship Setting Goals/optimism

    I may have here or there, but that 'a a good idea. I feel like I may be walking a thin line there with him thinking I need him to tell me how to do things but I think it 's worth a shot. Like discussing how he thinks it should be done with him before I start things, more like asking for his...

    Relationship Setting Goals/optimism

    @Lemontree The problem is he usually tells me after I do something that I've done it wrong. The flower bed for example I was going to buy topsoil for because he said not to dig down but to just add topsoil to the top. So I was going to go buy some but then he said no he would buy a couple...

    Relationship Setting Goals/optimism

    @ lemon tree Yes, I find myself always thinking about how he would want things done versus how I think I think I should do it. He'll even set things up so I have to rely in him then complain I always have to rely on him. Grr : )

    Relationship Setting Goals/optimism

    @catlover26 yes maybe a little because we live together it's a little different. Sometimes I wish we didn't live together because I could have my peace and not worry about what he thinks because I could just leave when he got like that. : )

    Relationship Setting Goals/optimism

    @catlover26 Yes that is it exactly my philosophy. I can't dwell on the negative just focus my efforts towards getting where I want to go in life. Some things you just can't control. Unfortunately he looks at things very differently. You're right about focusing on yourself as well. I know that's...

    Relationship Setting Goals/optimism

    No, he is super picky and if things are not done precisely the way he thinks they should be done then you've done it wrong even if he hasn't expressed how he feels it should have been done.

    Relationship Setting Goals/optimism

    The main struggle my sufferer and I face is that he sees the negativity in everything and can never focus on solutions. I am the opposite. I wanted to sit down and lay out some goals yesterday but all I got back was reasons why he couldn't and complaints about things that had happened in the...

    Relationship Was I Just Fooling Myself?

    Four months ago my fiancé told me out of the blue he was done...couldn't handle the stress of my ex. I knew it was PTSD causing the stress. We got back together but things have been rocky since. Today I tried setting goals with him for our future but he can never look forward only look at the...

    Relationship ....but One Thing Bothering Me Still

    You hit the nail on the head with them not understanding PTSD. It's very difficult to explain to people without them thinking it's some sort of excuse. Glad you're enjoying the 4th...sometimes relationships just aren't textbook and that's just fine. : )

    Relationship ....but One Thing Bothering Me Still

    I've been through a roller coaster the last six months with my fiancé (at times) and he won't so anything with my family and barely speaks to his...especially those who know him best. He had ended our relationship several times in the last six months and they knew about it. My guess based on my...

    Relationship Terrible Night

    Just had a horrible night and I need to vent. My vet blew up at me a week ago after I told him my ex husband was taking me back to court and told me I need to get out and that he's done. He owns our house. I told him three years ago I wasn't going to move in with him until we were at least...

    Relationship Call It Closure

    It's been a while since I posted...two weeks of things being almost completely back to normal after one solo therapy session my Vet went to. He came home told me about the entire session, we had a great night and another great two weeks. Then I found out I have to go back to court with my ex...

    Relationship When Isolation Ends And Things Don't Fet Better

    Thanks for the insights @FridayJones. Answer or no answer that put lots of new thoughts/answers in my head.

    Relationship When Isolation Ends And Things Don't Fet Better

    Hmmm that's interesting @FridayJones. He did very abruptly come out of it. Something I said in response to everything he was doing got to him emotionally and he basically "snapped out of it" one day. So will not isolating potentially stop him or slow him from getting better?
