Wow Sea that was really harsh.

I understand you frustration being with someone who says they want to be with you and see you but there is always something else going on. Its hard not to be #1 after you have been for any period of time. In my head I know it isn't personal and is just him trying to do what he thinks he needs...

I am having a rough morning. I am feeling very anxious and now angry. I am so mad at the gov and military for doing this to him and in turn to us. I am also very angry at his ex for not letting him move one with his life and be happy. I am seeing my therapist today which I am looking forward to...

I do understand that everyone has good intentions here. But not all of these situations end up badly. I am going to try to back off a little more and let him come to me more. It can't hurt and then I won't be risking him feeling pressure from me. It is defiantely gonna be hard but I think it is...

In reading over the previous posts I have made I know I may be repeating some stuff. I just get going on a thought and it all comes out. My days are full of emotional ups and down but it is getting a little easier every day. Atthe end of everyday I know everything will work outin God's time. I...

I am not mad I just get frustrated very easily lately. I was married once and it was a bad deal and I understand his anger about the divorce and that he can't do anything right now to get it done. I was lucky that my divorce was done quickly but it had its own pain and hurt. Thier marriage was...

I appreciate your post peacemaker. But that really isn't a true representation of why he is divorcing his wife. They were together for 15 years. and the problems were there before he went to war. She was really not good to him and they were mainly still together that long for the kids. She is...

Hi there! I completely feel what you are going through. With my bf I can tell he still loves me through his actions even though he has withdrawn alot compared to the way things used to be. He just says he doesn't know why he can't feel the love for me. He wants us to be together but can't say he...

Hi Greytowngal. I am not positive when mY bf was actually diagnosised with PTSD, but I know he has been back from Iraq for about 4 years and things are really just now have gotten to this level for the first time now. I truely believe that the divorce is driving so much of this. He thinks it is...

I am not sure why but I just wrote a long reply and it wouldn't let me post it.

Thank you so much for your reply Army Brat. I know there is nothing I can do but be there for him. I know things will work out and be ok it is just so hard to sit and watch this man who is so amazing be so different. I know he does want to get better. He is on meds and he said the Abilify he...

Hi my name is Mandy. My boyfriend of 9 months is going through some issues with his PTSD. These are manly new issues. The first 8 months of our relationship were amazing. He is my soul mate and everything I have ever wanted in a life partner. This last month has been so hard. He has been going...
