I have some of the same thoughts as Amethist. There are some books that, as I recall, discuss this. It was called a "vacation" from sex, if needed. That, particularly for a suffer with a sexually-related trauma, any sexual contact needs to be on the terms of the sufferer, not the partner...

I will jump on board too and stress that you are not awful. It is a sad fact that, in PTSD relationships, all is not sunny and bright and that there is not always a happy ending. I do not know all of your details so probably should not risk saying the wrong thing. but........ We all need to...

Admittedly I did not read every word in this thread but the title made me think. So what I say is more like random thoughts as opposed to responding to a specific comment. I, too, struggled with this. "Reminding" can be interpreted a lot of ways. Too much, in frequency or even in the extent...

Perhaps the last snow of the season 2 days ago? Enough to cover the ground. Today it is supposed to me sunny and rather warm. I have a day off work and hope to do something outside for a change.

WOW, I don't know that I can say what I'd do. As a supporter, I would probably not risk it. Especially if it was a sufferer. It might really freak them out. I assume you mean you know someone "in person" and face to face. I HAVE told someone on another site "hey, it's me" :) But that is...

I should just copy and paste from before, LOL. We should get snow again tomorrow. Not a lot but yet,snow again! Geez.

Must have hit my head when I passed out. I'm delusional thinking winter will end. :roflmao:

Still crazy weather here. Dropped almost 60 F in a day recently and climbing back up. Now, did I hear right? Possibility of still more snow this weekend? (Pause from me fainting) Will winter EVER end?

OK, I admit I have not read every word in posts in this thread but yet, based on the thread title, thought I would add a comment. BEFORE there was a PTSD diagnosis for my wife, she went through what many others have. Multiple labels or diagnoses. Depression, then maybe bi-polar, or even some...

Interesting metaphor. Not calling sufferers animals he, he, but I think the concept is good. So many threads and posts have talked about not pushing the situation. That it is the sufferer who has to do the healing, etc. I have seen so many instances of a supporter dead set on helping. This...

My grand daughter has an ornery sense of humor. And she is only in preschool. My son in law got her to say "Mommy got her tattoo in prison" so she will say that to my daughter to get a laugh. Even in public, LOL. NO prison, by the way, LOL.

Are you still in The States KP?

When you read about co-dependency and wonder how the author knows all about YOU! (Time to work on your own issues too)

When your floor is messy from the "walking on egg shells". Ohhhhh, it's supposed to just be a figure of speech.

OMG, did I hear the weatherman right? Up to a foot of snow this weekend? Say it isn't so!

No, it must be a urinary infection. Pee TSD, emphasis on PEE!!! LOL

Wish granted. Put a cork in the dog's butt! But now the dog burps all the time. And hey, is the dog getting bigger? My wish is to not be around when the dog explodes.

I know first hand that being a a supporter can be hard. I hope your wife is getting help. You find it helpful too. Maybe seeing a Therapist would help guide you and examine how it all affects you too.

LOL, be careful what you wish for. The images are gone, but replaced by images of clowns. Squeaking noses and squirting lapel flowers, funny cars filled with them. Oh wait, I don't KNOW your Dad. Is he a clown? Maybe the wish wasn't granted after all. I wish I could go to the circus.

I was just posting in another thread that things are better for my wife. Yes permanent. But it can be managed. In our case, weekly Therapist appointments, continued medications. Back to that medical analogy mentioned before. Like a diabetic, sometimes it is hard getting through the acute...

I can't say that my situation is similar to anyone else. Although we see similar things in our relationships, so much is individual to our own situations. However, maybe what I say can give hope. My wife was in a very difficult place when I became a member here. Many hospitalizations, ECT...

Hi, your user name caught my eye. In Ohio, I assume. Me too. My wife has been going for weekly sessions for years now. Early on, the reaction after the sessions really varied. Many times withdrawn or anger. Many times depressed. But as the years have gone by, the situation here is much...

Wake me when we're done

Hairy Oh I meant to say: Dance
