Hi @Serendipity424 , I am very happy to hear that he came back :-)

@Serendipity424 Me too!! They give us hope and teach us to be understanding and how to deal with the situation :-)

@Serendipity424 This is another positive post :-)

@Serendipity424 I am happy he texted you! That is a start! One thing I have learned is that when my friend is triggered, he sees little messages as over-reaction or pressure. Try to be as calmed as possible and try not to show over-worry. As you can see in many threads here, showing...

You're most welcome! We are here to support each other. Those texts are beautiful and I agree, I think that when someone with PTSD says words like that they are meaningful and thruthful. My friend told me once that he doesn't have many friends and people don't like him very much and I also...

@Serendipity424 You are most welcome. I was surprised how negative the replies to your original post were so I thought that it might be good to look at a different perspective. I understand about having emotional days. They will pass, I promise. WhisperingUnicorn said in one of her posts that...

@Serendipity424 this is one of the threads I read before. WhisperingUnicorn advice and experience might resonate with you like they did with me.

@Serendipity424 Read the posts by WhisperingUnicorn, her perspective, advice, and experience is very helpful

@Serendipity424 Of course! I will let you know when I find out. He is going in the middle of June. In the meantime, if you like, you can look up warriorconnection org so you can see the wonderful work they do. They have a facebook page as well. Don't worry about all the texts you sent. I also...

@Serendipity424 Everybody is different so everybody experience is different. Based on my experience, I think that if those feelings he expressed are true he will most likely reach out again when he is ready. Please understand that it might take days, weeks, or months for him to be ready. There...

@Mon15 Hi, I am just reading your post. I am glad that things are getting better for you. In the moment he has shut me out for the longest time ever (almost 2 months) so reading posts like yours give me so hope :-) :-)

@Coco80 I am sorry :-(

@holdenmonty Thank you for your words and for your service. It speaks volumes that you are giving your best for your wife and boys. :-) @Sweetpea76 Thank you for replying to my post. I appreciate it. I definitely not just sitting down waiting for him. I have continued to live my life but I have...

I have been reading this forum for about two months. He shut me out since Feb 22. We are not in a relationship, we are friends but are very very close. He told me that he wanted to take things slow but he has proven to me that he is interested, loyal, caring, etc. I know that he is not with...
