I don't think I have the right words, but I wanted to reach out and say I feel for you. I can understand your husband feeling betrayed but that is quite a long time to keep the anger going. I'm not trying to minimize that sexting with someone else in my opinion wasn't right, but that said you...
I've had PTSD for 10 years now, we did end up getting married and I have packed up and left several times. Usually I do this because I'm on sensory overload that I just have to get out and get a break. I find that when I speak to him he gets defensive and blames and then I'm like...I can't take...
I have ptsd. I push away. One of the things that makes me close up more is when my partner would pounce the minute he saw me pulling away. I would get commence like "where are you", "I've lost you", It would be so much for effective if my partner to be like "Hun, let me make you a tea", Or Hun...
You are correct on the impulsive comment, and yes he seemed to focus on his own needs. The situation with my sisters are complicated. You see I disconnected with my family years ago as there was a lot of fighting and drug use and I'm clean I have never taken drugs. Thank you for all your...
I just got too freaked out, too much was happening too fast. I accepted the proposal but I really wasn't ready. I am happy in my own place, the relationship was too new for me to get married, or even think of buying a house with someone. And we had been off and on so many times I didn't trust...
He had proposed to me 4 months into our relationship in Dec, the date was set for May 5th. She has long moved out and has none of her things. All that is left to do is sell the house. He wanted to put the house on the market so that we could have a home together. I have my own place, but he...
Opps I missed the part where you ask about my sisters. They died. The thing is there was a trauma with those exact two sisters, which may be why I've shut down. You see when I was about 6 I was in the basement and I was with those two sisters and my brother. My brother raped my sister. I...
Thing is I'm relieved, you see he proposed to me and I accepted, but when his mother didn't congratulate me on new years he gave me the silent treatment and was cold to me. I don't get it. I didn't do anything. Second he is still in the house he had with his ex wife (she still owns half). I've...
Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I broke up on family day which is a day that is a huge trigger for me. My boyfriend ended up taking a shift at work on the day we were suppose to go out and spend time together. As I mentioned it is a trigger day so didn't think he'd go to work. Any ways I went to...
There is something you said about returning to your child like state. If you have time could you elaborate, if you don't mind. I'm asking because I haven't read that yet and I also return to a child like state, not during conflict but at time. For example I was at a hardware store with my...
From what my therapist has told me, rough sex is sometime a way to cope. It is trauma re-enactment, where you try to get some control, by being in the position to say stop, and it stops.
