Time? I just wish I knew how much time. Honestly I wish I could be mad ta me, but I am not. He never wished this up himself.

A few weeks ago my sufferer called and told him he thought he figured out more about his PTSD, and he told me he was taking steps to get better. Currently we have been broke up for two and a half months. After talking to him I was left confused because he had told me that he couldn't be in a...

My ex-boyfriend still have the occasional conversation, but as far a relationship goes we are done. I have been continuing to hold on to hope that he will want to give our relationship another chance. I miss being with him so much, but this limbo state of holding on to just a little bit of hope...

@Promicarus What you said is so true. Over these past few months I have had to learn all these things. My sufferer and I are no longer together, but I still want to be there for support if he ever needs me. Thank you. @Warrior1987 Always remember to take care of yourself first. I know there...

Does anyone else ever wish they could run away? Here lately I feel like my life is nothing but stress. I'm a senior in college graduating in May. I've been going on job interviews, and have some offers, but I am stressed trying to decide what to do with my life. I want to ask him what he thinks...

(((HUGS)))))

Tomorrow I am going to talk to a therapist. My friends are there for me and I really appreciate all the support I receive from here, but I feel like I need someone to talk to besides my friends as well. I hate burdening my friends with my problems. I know they all have so much going on and don't...

Thank you for the hug. I could really use one right now.

The man that I have loved for a over a year now has decided that he can't stand the PTSD symptoms that are brought on by being in a relationship. This was our third shot at a relationship. This was also the first time we knew from the beginning what was going on in our relationship. Why he...

Thank you all so much for the hugs and best wishes. I am sending the love right back to all of you. One day it will get better for all of us.

@BewitchedBewildered I'm also trying to be logical about the whole situation, but heart and emotions keep getting in the way. I have always been more of a logical thinker, and didn't rely on my emotions to make decisions. Ever since I have been faced with situation I have been letting logic take...

Mine has told me that I don't deserve what this disorder has to offer. After we broke up last time I confessed to him that his unwillingness to try made me feel like I wasn't worth it. This time around he was actually, but neglected to tell me. I would have felt better knowing he was actually...

He sent me a message back and told me that he if he was able he would continue, but he can't right now. He told me that if I needed to step back so that I could get to a happier place that I should do that. What he doesn't understand is I'm not stepping back because that is what I want and...

@kacee129 Thank you for our support. I wish you the best in your situation. This is definitely the most painful situation I have been through in my life.

Today I told him that I am letting go. I tried to find a time for us to talk in person today, but he pushed me away and said he was busy. I decided to send him email instead. This is what it said: "I wish that I could have this conversation in person with you, but it is probably better this...

I wish I could have our relationship back as well. The good times were so amazing, but I don't want the bad times back because I feel guilty that he suffers. I feel like it is not fair of me to ask him to keep pushing and ultimately hurting for my happiness. Letting go is hard, and not something...

I have no doubt that he would want me back. We both keep coming back to the relationship, but I know I tell him I'm done. He will not try to come back into my life because he will think he is doing me a favor by staying away.

I have been spending a lot of my time researching and understanding PTSD. I have come to learn that PTSD sufferer has certain things that trigger anxiety, nightmares, and flashbacks. Most of the time the relationship of person with PTSD suffers because of these symptoms. In my sufferers case...

@sweetpea Thank you so much for suggesting "The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Relationship: How to Support Your Partner and Keep Your Relationship Healthy". I received my copy of this book in the mail today. I have already read over 70 of the pages. Although, my boyfriend and I have to decided...

I am actually able to answer this question with complete honesty. The first time we broke up neither of us had any idea it was due to PTSD. I still wanted to hold onto hope we would find our way back together, and we did. So, yes, even with PTSD out of the relationship I would still want to hold...

I feel the same way you do about wanting to contact him. For me though we just broke up and he is needing some time to get back to a place where he can feel safe, happy, and healthy. None of which are too much to ask for. We have discussed going to couple's therapy in the future when he is in a...

Should I text him and make sure he is doing alright? I just feel like I should check on him. Would it be too much contact for right now?

Yes I am the supporter and he has PTSD. The last time we decided to take a break he scratched his arm really bad. He has done things in the past that as harmed. He said that to bring him out of flashbacks he will use an adrenaline rush such as hitting a wall or something. I know of at least...

He decided this morning to end the relationship, but he still wanted me to come over and watch the football game with him. I went over there and we talked at first he was fine, but then he became really anxious I tried to calm him down. Nothing worked I eventually left because he said he needed...

I don't want to put my entire life on hold for him, but I do want remain hopeful. I just feel like by moving on with my life I am giving up on him, and I'm not. I am going to call tomorrow and schedule an appointment with a counselor for this week.
