Wow this is great! Not that we are all hurting and sad and pissed, but that we can actually let it out, and not keep it inside. I am always so afraid to be angry in front of him, and today I got frustrated with the situation and he knew it. I am not frustrated or mad at him. I am mad at the...

I still want to hold on to hope that we can continue to try and make our relationship work. Is that the wrong thing to do? He told me that he can't do this again in another few months (that is our cycle), but maybe a year from now he could try again. Do I wait? Do I try to hold on to hope? Do I...

Thank you all! Why finally talked, but only after he ended it today. He called and told me that he couldn't do it anymore. I told him how I have felt. I asked him to consider couples therapy. I asked him to not give up, but I think this may be the end of our relationship for good. I don't...

I know what he is going through isn't easy, but I wonder if he realizes this isn't easy for me too. Sometimes I want to tell him that I am hurting and just need reassurance from him that he still loves me and misses me when he doesn't see me. The idea of telling him that I'm hurting scares me...

@Skrentz Thank you! He did stop by my work for a few minutes and say hey. He seems to be doing better today. I am trying to maintain my life and friendships with people especially when he is withdrawing. I do not beg or threaten him. I know that will not work, and I am not a big fan of using...

My boyfriend called last night and said that the past few weeks have been difficult for him. He said that he has been feeling "symptomy". I knew that something was going on because he has become increasingly more distant. Even though we only live a few minutes apart and work/ go to school in the...

In so many of these posts I read things that I have said and thought many times before. Until now I felt so alone and confused. It gives me comfort to know that there is so much support for people who consider themselves supporters.

I understand how it feels to try to decide to let go or hold on. I am currently on round three of trying to make a relationship wok with someone who is a sufferer. It is hard to decide whether or not you should reach out and check on them. Your heart tells you that you should make sure they are...

Thank you so much for your insight. I have asked him what he thinks, and he is not sure himself. I do not think his is so much flashbacks that are his problem. He gets anxious and nervous about certain things. I have learned somethings that help or at least do not seem to make the situation...

Thank you everyone for the support. It helps knowing that there are others out there that I understand my situation. Sweetpea, I will definitely look into the book you mentioned.

I am currently in a relationship with someone who has been suffering from PTSD for a few years now. This is our third attempt at a relationship. The first time we didn't realize that his PTSD was the ultimate reason for us going our separate ways. A few months later we started dating again only...

I do not have PTSD, but I am currently in a relationship with a PTSD survivor. The relationship seems to be a trigger for him. I have done a lot of research on PTSD and have saw a therapist myself, but I still feel like there are things I can do to help. Does anyone have anything to offer for a...
