Hello and welcome :) you are going to find a lot of great support here. You mentioned talking to him about getting into treatment. You should definitely have the conversation maybe not try to bait him into it with conversations about your dad but in a more straightforward manner. In the end...

Hi Knj I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this. It seems like you understand that he needs space and he loves you so please try to give him that. Try to do what you need to do for your own happiness. Take care of yourself. I've learned a lot about myself during this isolation period...

It's been almost three weeks and still he's not here. Random meaningless texts and broken promises of seeing me. My hope doesn't seem to exist. How can I hold onto someone that isn't there. His actions are all I can go off of and those are blaringly saying 'leave me'. I need to let go it's just...

GHF this breaks my heart for you. I'm glad you're moving forward after all this time you've waited, that must be a difficult decision. I set a time frame for myself as to when I will move on completely that's helped with the anxiety. I'm living with the mindset it's over. My intuition and my...

Yes I am learning this lesson! He is getting help and does want to get better so those are things he has going for him. As far as getting worse before better I can see this being very true and this is just the beginning. I hope that things continue to hopefully approach better for you. Thanks...

Thanks for the reply! I don't think this is really about me, I mean he wasn't trying to hurt me or play me. I just don't understand what he's doing or dealing with so like so many I have come to you gracious folks to search for the answers. So thanks :) ultimately those answers will come from my...

Thank you so much for replying. I hope things are getting better for both of you. Sounds like we are in similar situations. I have been taking the week to ask myself the hard questions. I've come to a decent understanding with myself where the line is. For example how long I'm going to wait with...

I haven't had the chance to thank you for replying. I know the questions I'm asking are not ones that can really be answered by anyone but him, and that these questions have been asked many times on here. But I so appreciate the insight. The waiting game seems to be getting longer with broken...

I know in my life I've been in all sorts of different styles of relationship. The one on one monogamous. The open relationship. Dating multiple people at the same time, none serious. I've had sex with open married couples and dated married people in open relationships. All of them worked on some...

Thanks for your reply! I feel pretty good in the fact that our feelings were sincere I'm trying not to get too caught up in my own emotions. He basically stopped contacting me and wouldn't hang out on days that he said he would. Wouldn't respond to texts etc. We don't live together which is good...

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I can understand his need to be by himself and I know as we grow and learn to communicate it will become easier as I know he has a support system. He is going back to the doctor next week so I'm just trying to let it play out until then. He is still...

First of all I'm very new to all of this. Being in a new relationship with someone who has ptsd has been interesting if nothing. Doing as much educating and taking care of myself as possible, he seems to have really been hit with the mother load of trauma from what he's told me, he has been...

Hello all, I recently joined here. I've been on the website before and really appreciate the insight from everyone here. I recently started dating a guy who has ptsd from childhood abuse and also combat ptsd. He was open from the beginning about his past but I didn't listen well enough or...
