Yes, I feel what you are saying. Those little signs of affection. Those seemingly small gestures that appear to be so big when it comes to ones own feelings of worthiness and importance to the other person. On the other hand I feel selfish for feeling that way. Because she is suffering so much...

Yes I know what you mean. Hitting the gym makes you feel good for a few hours. But then the feelings come back. Thinking about the past with your partner becomes a 2 sided sword. It is great to think about those awesome moments. But at the same time it makes you miss those things you shared even...

Thank you @Adm13 :) It's funny, because I just replied on your post before reading your comment. Your warm words mean a lot to me!

I know what you are dealing with. At least to some extent. Just be warned, I don't have a solution or something like that either. And I am a guy, with a girlfriend who went through childhood trauma, so things are kinda different I think. Anyway, the part I understand is, how the lack of...

Hello everyone :) Been a while, since I posted anything. Anyway, my head feels like it's going to explode anytime. And there's is no one I can talk to about it. So I just need to let it all out for a moment. Quick background. I'm in a relationship with the greatest woman I ever met, for 10...

Thank you @Jensen :) means a lot. I feel bad for sharing this stuff, but here is the only place that someone can understand it. Look forward to it, I know it's hard sometimes but always assume the best, so you can enjoy it with your whole heart if the day is great, and if it is not you are...

Thanks for your post @Newtoptsd :) Yes I know that feeling of beeing too needy. Probably because we just want to feel loved and while our partners are emotionally numb we get almost zero love shown. This can make the most self confident person insecure over time. Well.. I really improved my...

Thank you @Adm13 your post is gold worth :) I am definitely using your advice. What I found is that a lot has to do with self confidence. No affection can drag you down to a point where your own self image gets worse and worse and your confidence suffers. No matter how sure you know that it's...

Thank you @Jensen ! Really means a lot to be understood. You can always write me a message if you want someone to talk about it who understands that type of situation :) I feel like all that coldness and being distant feel like she doesn't love me anymore or lost interest in me, and while...

Hey everyone :) I don't know why I'm writing this or what I hope to get from writing it.. I just feel like I am losing my mind. In the beginning of our relationship, my girlfriend told me about the childhood abuse she had to go through for years as a little kid. She also told me that about 1,5...

Oh god, your post really hits near home for me, thanks for posting it @Chantelle :) I'm the boyfriend of my girlfriend who also suffered childhood abuse. When we first met there was this huge attraction and we had a lot of intimacy, not just sex, but cuddling, hugging, kissing and everything...

Thank you @Beautifulmess :) Yes, it kinda sounds crazy but I rather have her scream at me in an argument than her being this cold emotionally. I always keep that image in my head of her heart and all her emotions just being burried under a ton of pain and stress, so it's still there but she...

Wow, thank you for writing all this @Nicolette :) Am a supporter myself for my awesome girlfriend with ptsd due to her traumatic childhood. In the beginning of our relationship she told me that she feels like she doesn't deserve to be loved, and I always told her what a wonderful person she is...

Some days I feel like going crazy. When I'm around you I usually put this positive attitude mask on, because you told me that telling you how I'm feeling (example: writing I miss you) gives you pressure. So I don't show my emotions. But that doesn't mean that they are not there. It just means...

Thank you for your kind words @OneToughCookie :) glad that I could help a bit! Yes if you're boyfriend is a bit like me he will problably take arguments and a bad mood day always over not knowing where he stands and what's going in within your head and your feelings. You can write me anytime...

Hey to everyone on here :) I'm here to learn as much as possible to be able to support my Girlfriend (who suffered childhood abuse) in the best way possible and in the same time may be able to offer some insights into the point of views of a supporter. I hope you all have a great day!

Thanks for your post, you really put my own thoughts into words. My girlfriend and me do not have children so that's a difference here, but I totally understand you feeling alone. She is also the victim of childhood abuse. I don't know how many nights I lay next to her in our bed and just feel...

Hey @OneToughCookie, this is actually my first post, so I hope I'm doing everything right :) I know that everyone and every situation is different buy maybe some insights from my point of view as a supporter (of my girlfriend) can help you in any way, at least that's what I hope! I think...
