    Relationship Serious Question, Even Though It Sounds Like A Joke

    I guess it's like my friend was telling me last night. While his behavior isn't "normal " it's normal for him. She is Right. He does seem to have a pattern of do something sweet, or get close, gotta run away for a few days. I guess I need to stop taking it so personal.

    Relationship Serious Question, Even Though It Sounds Like A Joke

    I have asked and he talks in circles. He will say something like if I didn't want to see you I wouldn't. I will respond with, well you're not seeing me. He will come back with the same response. Then when I said "so you want to see me, but won't see me, can you see why I'm confused "? And...

    Relationship Serious Question, Even Though It Sounds Like A Joke

    He's so confusing. After he told me he was going to go get me some furniture he stopped texting. He's being very short with me today. You're not going to offer to go get someone furniture if you don't have some feelings for them. I didn't ask him for anything. He just out of the blue offered...

    Relationship Serious Question, Even Though It Sounds Like A Joke

    We're just dating. Not even in a relationship. But we've got a long history of on again off again. Any time we get close, he runs. This time he's sticking around. Just pushes me away any time we progress. One step forward, two steps back. He tells me he's scared of getting hurt, so he can't...

    Relationship Serious Question, Even Though It Sounds Like A Joke

    Do they have some kind of radar for fed up? Seriously every time I hit my breaking point, where I think I can't take anymore, he does something completely random and unexpected to suck me back in. He does it before I can tell him I'm done, do its not like he's trying to pull me back in...

    Relationship Dating Someone With Ptsd (being Ignored)

    Oh yeah. He's very avoidant. But not always. He'll be OK one day then distant again. If I was the book "he's just not that into you", yeah they'd say run. But he won't let me. He'll tell me something like if I didn't want to see you I'd tell you.

    Relationship Stay Or Walk Away?

    Yeah. Understandable. He will tell me he will do better. But it's not consistent. Or he will do it, but in a roundabout way. Like I explained in a message what I was expecting and he didn't answer. Then two days later, he's asking if he can borrow something. So he gave me what I wanted...

    Relationship Stay Or Walk Away?

    He said he's been cheated on a lot. And if this is how he acts, I see why. Most females won't put up with this. Especially not young ones. And they were in their early 20s. I don't know if him acting like this is a result, of the cheating or a cause of it. He keeps telling me how scared he is...

    Relationship Stay Or Walk Away?

    That's him. He told me I could see other people because he didn't want me to wait on him while he fixed himself. But I told him I don't want to. He didn't say anything else about it. He came on so strong at first. Then backed off. He said its bc he can only fake everything being OK for so...

    Ptsd And Off-colored Jokes

    It's a coping mechanism. You develop a gallows sense of humor to deal with what you've seen. It just comes out.

    Relationship Stay Or Walk Away?

    Oh and my need, is just spending more time with him. He cancels all the time. When I say just tell me if you don't want this. He will say he would tell me. And he cancels for legit reasons. To stop jumping to conclusions. Like he gets angry when I say anything that makes him think I'm accusing...

    Relationship Stay Or Walk Away?

    He said that. When we were discussing what his "not ready" meant. He's like "did I ever tell you I didn't want one ever? " And as far as the intimacy, no. He didn't say why. It took four months for it to happen. He didn't talk to me for days after. He completely ignored me. Then got mad when...

    Relationship Dating Someone With Ptsd (being Ignored)

    Sounds like we're dating the same Marine. Only mine lives 10 minutes away. He's never straight up said he doesn't trust me. But he's talked about how everyone hurts him, and everyone tells him they won't, so he doesn't believe me. Which is basically calling me a liar, is how I see it.

    Relationship Question To All The Ladies With A Partner Struggling With Cptsd

    He never told me. I am just able to see it, as he's not the first combat vet I've dated. He's told me he was depressed. That's as far as he's gotten. That was fairly early. Maybe a month or two. It doesn't change anything. I still care about him. I do love him. But haven't told him. Any sign...

    General What To Do

    Thank you. I really don't want anyone else. He's an amazing person, a good friend, just doesn't deal with stress well. We broke up once before, and it lasted a week. It's been a week this time, but we're still broke up, but he's still calling. I was texting his mom yesterday, and he's been...

    General What To Do

    If he doesn't maintain contact, then I have my answer. It really is over. Right now, the promises of marriage and adoption, are no longer on the table. My thoughts were since he's the one keeping contact, he's unsure. I'm not going to wait around forever. But I'll give him a little time...

    General What To Do

    Well, he ended up breaking up with me a few days after I posted this. He's stationed in WA, I'm in GA. He said when we're together, it feels like we're a family, but he started losing the emotional connection when we're apart. He said he's still going to come visit, meet my family, his family...

    Relationship This Is The First Time He Made Me Cry

    He keeps calling. Not repeatedly, but calls me randomly, just to talk. It's making it so hard, but I can't not talk to him. I want him in my life. He said he started to feel like he was just my rock to cling to, and an escape from my crazy family. He said he will still be my rock, but to...

    Relationship This Is The First Time He Made Me Cry

    We broke up before and it lasted a week. His friends threw him a going away party yesterday. He posted on Facebook "having fun but missing one from the equation". He could have been talking about anyone, but hoping he was talking about me. It could've been a deployed, or KIA friend. But...

    Relationship This Is The First Time He Made Me Cry

    Doesn't really matter anymore. He just broke up with me. He said when we're together it feels like a family, but when we're apart it feels like we're just friends.
