@Snowflakes I also remember you and your wonderful words to me and all us on here when giving advice. I hope you are well and your journey has hopefully brightened up somewhat since we last connected? I will be leaving this site but wish you all the best and sending you huge hugs back!!

Sorry I think there was some huge miss-understanding in regards to my post. I did not cheat, I am not in a relationship with anyone, this new guy is 'new'. I went to go see him because he told me he was in trouble, I wouldn't leave unless I thought it was serious. It was serious. He was sat with...

Hey All, I joined this site over a year ago when I started dating a guy who suffered from PTSD. Those of you who were on the journey with me will know if my story but for those who don't, I dated him on and off for around 7 months, during the first two months there was some pretty great times...

Just throwing my two cents in here ... you're very much in/was in honeymoon stage, which is a stage when you meet someone and everything is glorious and wonderful and nothing seems like it would ever go wrong, you live in this dreamworld, all these hormones flying around and it's bloody...

It wouldn't let me address your name @shockedtothecore but thank you and I am very very sorry you had to endure the same pain, a lot worse by the sounds of it. You will come out at the otherside and you will be great for it, chin up :hug:

Thank you everyone so much for your responses, sorry I haven't replied sooner I haven't felt like talking much on this site at the moment!! @tiredtexan absolutely it definitely gave me the kick up the bum to try and move on and I think maybe I needed it. Thanks for the hugs :hug: @Esterio...

I wasn’t sure whether I was going to share my story before I leave this site but I’ve decided to. For all you fairly new supporters I hope it might give you a bit of insight into how we might always be looking for answers and explanations but we will never really get them. It’s also important...

@caligirl03 Just want to bring it back to base as to why you split up, you set a boundary that you couldn't be with him until he seeked help if I remember rightly? I think this is more about what you're wanting from him, are you looking to be friends or more? If it develops into anything more...

@monsterade hugs to you, sounds like you're going through a horrible time :hug: You might not want to accept it but I think you have to accept the situation and move on. You have no control over her and what she does, so you have to accept the fact she has moved on and you need to as well...

When my friend went to therapy it was very much a case of ... it gets worse before it gets better. Therapy makes them talk and face things that they've been avoiding, it brings up memories and feelings and from what I've heard therapy makes a lot of people re-live the trauma several times...

You're right there are a billion thread here all stating the same thing, it's common for sufferers of PTSD to isolate. If your guy only doesn't contact you for a whole day then count yourself lucky!!!! I know some supporters on here who go weeks, sometimes months without hearing from their SO...
