Hi Cassandra and whoever needs to hear it...My inbox for this post pinged just now with your note and I definitely know how you feel. I noticed my last post was Nov 8 last year. That was just a week before an acquaintance from work who was overseas began reaching out to chat. I gave it a chance...

I just love you Freida. I don't fully know if I'm dealing with meh or "him" wanting someone as you say to keep confirming he's worth it. Marine's social page shows he's in deep trouble emotionally so I took the advice of my combat vet pal and have been pinging periodically via text during the...

Thank you all for your honest input, all appreciated, even the tough love. Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday...

With all due respect @Sweetpea76 - That doesn't sound completely correct. @Freida 's original thread starter on page one says as below my sign off line here. It asked for supporter thoughts on ghosting etc. She asked to know what supporters are thinking and feeling when it happens. I think I am...

Hi @Freida - Is it weird that I'm so relieved to see your reply? Anyone's reply but mostly from you, thank you! You are 100% right about immersing in a high stress job to avoid the demons, I totally see him doing that! It's the only thing he excels at or does at all really.....I so wish it...

Hi Ronin and thanks for taking the time to reply. But to clarify, he did not tell me about the job first, in fact it seemed clear that I wasn't first. What pissed me off most was that he was so gleeful about it, but with no hey, I'm sorry I've been out of comms for 10 weeks and thanks for...

Hail Mary help, Freida, Eve. I don't want to give up on Marine, he has my heart still but I think he may be gone, this time....I do understand his inner struggle but it gets the best of me, we have been back and forth almost 4 years, it's so exhausting.... I try not to help unless he reaches...

The very ironic thing is, my dear, that you actually did just explain it to us perfectly, and that's a gift. (you know I love and admire you babe for your sassy way with words and openness!) I would give anything to have the Marine say these very words to me and just open up the...

I apologize Eve, I assumed we were talking about the trauma portion as well. That's where my headspace when on this forum. Shake hands, pour vino, be friends again please. Reading more carefully I agree it's silly to assume a breakup in itself is PTSD causing unless one is especially emotionally...

Hi Anthony. I wanted to hear your truth, which frankly is all I've ever asked of him. Sadly, I realize silence is an answer isn't it? Thank you for the reply sir.

AN Anthony, first, can I thank you on behalf of hundreds on both sides of this challenge? THANK YOU! For doing something so important as launching this site. I hope it gives you a smile as you realize how many you've brought together from both sides of this journey and all side of the world...

Eve, we're not talking about teenage angst here if I'm correct....and how it makes my skin crawl to hear you say that so cavalierly. That's actually not true and I believe this is currently being evaluated DSM as relationship based ptsd, it's widely discussed in psych communities over the last...

How did you know? This guy resurfaced after 2.5 months, just landed his dream job and is all excited blah blah blah. He's calling my pet name, Miss, I asked politely why he's picked up like nothing happened with no apology and it sent him back into silence. He has always been crazy weird about...

I'm so sorry @Beenthere1230... I have one of these too, a boomeranger. I once read douchebags get ptsd too and I'm more and more wondering if this is the simple truth in my case. A terribly damaged combat vet who also happens to be just a terribly selfish man. I didn't know him prior so the...

@Freida Hey lady, I was thinking about you today, and ALL of you other fab humans in these 88 pages of heartfelt transmissions! I just wanted you each to know I'm send a little bit of strength and stardust in whatever way it's needed, at whatever point you are on the journey this evening!
