@Sophy (in lockdown) my current experiences and doubts are very, very similar to yours... Here's my thoughts. One of the things that I have realized during the past years or so, is that there are many people, probably most of people actually, who have some problems or anxieties that they don't...

It depends. It is said, that PTSD is not curable, not in a sense that you can fully go back, but you can get so much better and, maybe, stop feeling it. Also some people have claimed that they managed to cure their PTSD in a sense that it seems they managed to go back or just get rid of all the...

The pandemic is definitely affecting me, but I suffer it very differently than you. For me, the main difficulty is that I can't go out and meet other people. During the past year I was on a sort of a recovery path... Going out more than usually, having many nice experiences, social and not...

I would probably tell him that him talking about it only makes it worse and that we should try to make it a point to have a conversation without mentioning a marriage at all or something like that. He seems to be clinging on that idea, but before he can address the underlying problem, he must...

Hi Jeff, I'm so sorry to hear about all of that. I've never experienced anything like you went through... Never had a stable partner in my life. Having an 8 years marriage or anything close to that seems like a distant future, which I don't know how to achieve. I don't know what happened...

He's the one who's not worth you, not the other way around. Just want to let you know, that you're not the only one who has this approach. All those "new trends" in dating are just BS, imho, because some people just don't want to commit. There's absolutely nothing wrong you did. PTSD or not...

Oh, the impostor syndrome... It's one of my continuous struggles. I do have that cruel voice many of you probably know... I'm not an artist, so it doesn't talk about art, but it talks instead about my personal relationships. In particular, it's about relationships with women and it comes when...

Welcome @Jami1488 ! It's probably not very similar to your case... But in my case, I often feel "detached" from other people and I avoid establishing connections or friendships with them. At the same time, I actually want to make friends and have relationships with people, but it's difficult to...

Since you mentioned that you're still struggling with making decisions, I thought that maybe you think that your relationship is taking too long to advance because of that.

@EveHarrington , thank you for answering. I was asking because I myself have struggles with making decisions in general, and when it comes to relationships too... Like even when it all seems awesome and I'm happy, I'm just getting triggered at something and I start doubting whether I even...

Can you elaborate a bit more on how your relationship is going after a year? Did the dynamic change somewhat with this guy? Does he still want you to make all the important decisions?

Of course not! I think you have a wonderful boyfriend. Just reading about your relationship makes me feel better and happier. I'm very happy for you. PTSD is hard for both of you, but it is harder for you, as you are the one suffering from it. I think that it is good that you told him about...
