Ugh...it's up and down with the emotions. Sometimes I think this isolation is just plain selfish! No offense to you sufferers. I just don't have any say and my wants and needs aren't met. That's selfish of me. You'd think there could be some sort of compromise.

Thanks-you @Casey_03 . That really does help. PTSD just lasts longer :-) I feel better today.

It's totally me that need the contact to feel better. Like I said, we have been together 1 1/2 years and he didn't do this. Now all of a sudden. I didn't know what it was at first. I did see him last night for 10 minutes. He was agitated and pacing. Even so, it was a nice conversation. He...

I understand that. But I love him faults and all and it's been so great until recently. He deserves love. I know he doesn't want to lose me. He tells me to move on and find someone else but when he sees me next, he grills me on if I've seen anybody. I don't feel very close to him now. I...

I posted this a few days ago but I'm having a hard time today.... Hello. I'm new and would like some advice. My boyfriend of a year and a half has PTSD. He often times wants space to deal with things. I've tried getting him to lean on me and include me but he says he can only do it by himself...

I'm having a really hard time tonight. It's only been 5 days since I've seen him. He said he'd talk a bit today but I haven't heard from him. How he has been lately, I won't. I've gotten that he's isolating, but why can't he care what it does to me? It's hard not to believe he doesn't care.

I accept :) So far, just the short amount of time I've been on here, it has helped so much with the anxiety of him barely there. I really don't know what's going on but he keeps saying 'life's a mess'. In the past I've thought that he made mountains out of mole hills. He's been nice with...

I haven't done very well with the no texting part of it. He's texted some back. He said he had a bad day yesterday. I've been really wanting to tell him what I've learned here and sent an email. He hasn't responded. It's just so hard and I miss him terribly.

What's the most upsetting to me is he said he wanted to cut those stressing him out....his ex, his family, me....but because he has to see them, I'm the only one totally cut out :(

I can totally relate to what you are going through! I am so glad I found this sight but wish I found it sooner. Me and my vet have been dating for a year and a 1/2. He's broken up with me so many times during this process and turn around and still see me so I haven't believed him. Now is...

I know it's selfish of me to cling on tighter when he gets like this because I don't understand. He's a great man and you are right....it's what I can lovingly do to help him. I don't have any military relationship experience until now.

That's a good suggestion. I too get irrational. Which doesn't help him. I love him so much and just want to help. I'll ask him about the message to help me. Honestly it seems selfish that I have to be in limbo. Ideally it would be nice to find a happy medium of communication. I don't...

Thank-you. I think I stress him out sometimes because I don't get it. We don't live together so space means not seeing him or talking to him at all.

Hello. I'm new and would like some advice. My boyfriend of a year and a half has PTSD. He often times wants space to deal with things. I've tried getting him to lean on me and include me but he says he can only do it by himself. That the only way he's ever gotten better was focusing with no...
