Auburngirl- I think you've got it right, I relate this (on a smaller scale) to someone who wants to quit smoking. I've dated smokers before even though I've never smoked and don't care for it. They always say they want to quit, and I'll be there for her, but if she's quitting for me then she's...

Thanks, Lucky, I can only hope she thinks the same of me. I know I have my moments when she doesn't like something I said or did, only I get to blame it on being a guy and that usually gets me out of trouble! lol As I read comments from people here I learn more and am able to understand...

When I met my girlfriend, I was unaware of her PTSD. We had a couple great dates and we fell in love. She hadn't dated in a long while because she was very picky, and she didn't want to be with someone who wasn't sincere about a relationship. Then she took a chance and she met me. After a...

Yes, Wishmaster, you and I are in similar situations. I simply fell in love with my girlfriend and though it's sometimes tough to handle, I always see her heart - my light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for sharing, I hope I can learn from you and others here.

Thanks Rachel, that's good to know and I really appreciate your input. I was wondering why she would tell me she thought I said that instead of questioning me (at the time) about why I would have said something that was untrue. She has been dealt a lot of crap in her life and I truly want...

Thanks Wishmaster, yes it's a struggle and I want it to work out, so I'm trying my best to be patient and understanding. I think it's safe to say that she and I are a couple, and past the wonder stage, she means a lot to me. Thanks for your thoughts, I've been through a lot in my life and I'm...

Thanks Spirit...I don't know if I'm really a wonderful partner for her. I'm still trying to understand her situation, and I want to help her as much as I can. I know she is wanting to get better - for herself - and that's important. But sometimes it's a little harder for me than I thought it...

Thanks, Spirit... The one thing that I truly love about her is that she isn't the kind of person who gives up when things aren't perfect, and I'm not used to that. We've had a couple problems early on (some of them my own insecurities) and instead of her thinking that it's over she told me that...

Hi, thanks. I realize I probably posted this in the wrong spot, so if it needs to be moved I understand. Thanks for the comments, I only wanted to post my situation to paint a picture of what I've been through, and not to highlight my own accomplishements, so I apologize if I came off as...

Hello. I'm new to this forum and have read a few stories/posts, but aside from spending the next few hours reading I thought I'd risk asking the same questions and see if anyone has some suggestions for me. I will start by saying that I come from a broken home where there was a lot of abuse...
