I'm so sorry about that, what a punk.

yes, very true. I apologize...I didn't mean to imply that it would have been better if he were shorter, just that she's so much smaller than he is it's like beating up a child. It's a little harder to fight back and defend yourself when you're outweighed by more than 100 pounds. but yes...

thank you all, yes it did have me in a complete funk yesterday and I felt like my head was going to explode from confusion. I, too, think it's great that she wanted to go with me to the therapist, it shows me that she truly does want to work together with me on better communication. She did...

Thank you, I'm very confused about it all right now. Even though she seemed pretty angry with me she couldn't understand why I thought she wanted nothing to do with me. Her emails were very harsh and implied that she wanted nothing to do with me, saying "don't ever come over here again" among...

Thanks, all. I wasn't sure how she felt about it all but she emailed me and told me that she was still in love with me. So we both talked for a while this morning and she didn't want it to be over. I'll talk with her more tonight and see how it goes, it's difficult because she initially feels...

Well, I don't hate her, and part of me still loves her for who she is inside, but she hasn't been that person for a while now. I realize that her PTSD is a big part of it, but there never seems to be a good time to talk about how I feel because she gets upset whenever things aren't in her favor...

Thank you, Nicolette. I'm sure she'd tell a very different story right about now! I feel bad, because I really do care for her, but for the past couple weeks I've been drained and wondering if I should end it with her. I thought that she was 'the one' because we had so much in common, but...

Thank you. I know I've made mistakes, but it just seems she is very unforgiving. I guess I'm just not the right guy for her, if anyone is. I tried, and I learned a lot, but it seems she has a problem with everyone around her and lately I've been included in that mix. I guess I'm not as...

I think my girlfriend has more problems than I can take on, so I ended it with her tonight. I thought I'd be more upset, but I think I'm okay. I fell in love with her, but she has been getting worse lately and I guess I got kind of fed up with how she's been treating me. I won't elaborate...

I once had a manager pull me into an office and he reamed me, slamming his cane down on the arm of the chair missing my hand by inches. He read me the riot act. You'll never guess what my crime was. I was guilty of interdepartmental communication. Yep, I communicated to another department...

I wasn't sure if this question was just for those diagnosed with PTSD, or if I could respond to it also - so forgive me if I shouldn't have responded to it. Since I did suffer abuse as a child, I found that being creative helped me through a lot of tough times. Punishments often meant I had to...

I found this interesting as well, and when my g/f has been stressing I try not to help but just listen and gently offer some ideas. I've found that if I tell her how much I love her when she's stressing, and remind her that I'm on her side it goes much better than trying to 'solve' the...

Thanks, Cowgirl! I know that if she and I are going to ever live in the same household, her son will likely be a part of the equation because of his health issues. So I want to be careful not to come across the wrong way. I really did feel good about talking with him last night. I was...

Good points, all of them. Thanks Spirit...I appreciate the kind words. I think the main focus for me is that I don't want to change her - I fell in love with who she is the first time I met her. I just want to help bring that out in her for others to see. And I think her son's a good kid...

Thanks for all the input, I was curious how others would feel if they were in a similar situation. I think the one thing that is different with me is that I have never been abusive, in any capacity, with any woman or child. I've always gotten along well with kids, and despite her son's...

I grew up in a rather violent household where we were "taught" that physical violence against inanimate objects is how to handle rage. Fist through the wall were commonplace, and he even through our dog through the wall once. Since this is what we not only witnessed, but what we thought was...

My girlfriend suffers from PTSD, yet her family seems to refuse to acknowledge it. They don't seem to know much about it, and see her bouts as her being too emotional rather than what it is. She has told me that in the short two months that I've known her, I have asked about, and researched and...

hehe...thank you! She's not quite the 'wife' yet, but she does frequently remind me that that is where she would like to be! And I call her 'the wife' on occasion, she seems to like that! :)

aww...thank you Bec. I know that I do have my moments where I'm less than a sweetheart, but I really do care about her so I try. She thrills me....definitely!

I spent some time with my girlfriend yesterday, and she said that I help her to relax. She also does the same for me, so we both enjoy our time together, no matter what we're doing. So last night she called and we talked about things and her recent bouts, and she said she didn't know why I...

Well, Nicolette, I wouldn't know about falling asleep in the arms of a man LOL, but yes, it's very comforting to be with her for me as well. I laugh when she says I'll get tired of it...I love her, and I think that it's a great compliment when she trusts me enough to fall asleep in my arms.

thanks Bec! Yes, I love the feeling of having someone fall asleep in my arms like that. It relaxes me too, knowing that she's that comfortable with me. I've had girlfriends in the past ask me to talk to them so they could sleep, and the first time I was asked that I thought she found me to...

Thanks Spirit & Cindy! When I do suggest that she come over just to take a nap and relax, she says she would like to but she worries that it won't be any fun for me. I jokingly tell her when she falls asleep I usually cop a feel, so it is fun for me! lol But all seriousness aside, I enjoy...

I was reading through some other sections here and read about sleep. My g/f has a very hard time sleeping, and much of it is because of some health issues with her son. I know she feels responsible for his health problems and I am gently trying to remind her that it's not her fault. One...

Hi- I've posted a couple times and haven't officially introduced myself. I found this forum because I fell in love with a woman who has PTSD I wanted to learn more about it while I learn about her, and am grateful for the people here who are willing to share and teach newbs like me. Although...
