Thank you for that! I really do appreciate everything that has been thrown at me :) I will pray he finds his way back and I hope only good things come your way!!

Not trying to upset anyone*

You are correct, mine is a new relationship. I was just trying to learn and get support from others that are going through it, have gone through it, and also from a suffer point of view. I was confused and was looking for answers, I was trying to upset anyone. :(

Yes lesson learned for sure. I am sure every girlfriend, wife, boyfriend or family member has bombarded their loved ones and ones they care about before understanding all of this as well. Same mistake will not happen again, that is if he ever talks to me again :(

I just came hear to understand and research. I wanted to learn and know what was happening.

Yes I understand I have to relax, this was before I knew or researched any information regarding PTSD. Once I knew what was happening then I could relax and have more compassion and understanding. I just wanted to learn and have hope is that bad?

No I don't need attention and I am not starving for attention. If that was the case I would have already met someone. I have been single for 8 years not loveless. Was my choice and he was not the first guy to pay attention to me, he was the first guy I opened up to. Please do not judge me, you...

No he did not say he was stressed. I am saying money came up early in the day conversation and that is when he seemed to become distant.

I understand that, thank you. He didn't say anything just stopped talking to me. Until yesterday he said "I miss talking to you, I really do" but you over reacted when my phone died, I wasn't mad or hurt or anything, I just stressed I was worried that I did not hear from him but a couple days...

Please tell me where I referenced negativity or anyone being malicious? I am here for advice and help like a lot of us:)

[/USER] @Sweetpea76 you definitely make sense. I was just trying to make sense of this and understand what someone goes through. I listen to both sides and I will just hope, I know there is no real answer and I know there is so much to learn. I just feel whatever I need to do, even if it is...

[/USER] @Sweetpea76 I never implied anyone was being negative or malicious. I appreciate all the feedback.

Combat PTSD...... :-(

@tiredtexan I welcome all advice and everyone's point of view and how they handle their friend, boyfriend, husband, wife. I am not sure if he will ever come back to me. I know the last few texts were not what I would have liked to hear even though he said he misses talking to me. Right now I am...

@joeylittle So it's gone the day after he says I am falling in love with you?? I get after the first rush and things calm down but Monday last week he said he was falling in love with me... and that the end of the rush telling someone you are "so falling in love with them" if you can't commit or...

@Abigail7 thank you so much for the advice, I am learning to take things slow. As slow as they need to be. I never met so many kind people opening up and telling me their stories or what they experienced it means a lot. I was in a relationship/married for over 20 years, the last 8 years he lived...

You are right, I will take both sides of the real him. I didn't think of it that way but I understand what you are saying.

I love the positive posts!!!

I feel good he responded even though it was not what I wanted to hear....he said something and he said he missed talking to me....once he realizes my phone call was just worry and I learn to word things differently he will come back and I feel a big relief he said something. Today was the 6th...

@Mariposa Verde he texted me...it want perfect but he said something. He said he missed talking to me but couldn't do it right now. He said I over reacted to his phone dying...all I said when his phone died was I was worried. He reaponded.... it's a start???

@Newtoptsd I appreciate you telling me all of this, I do. I know it's early and I get that. I think something else set him into shutdown so to say it is early to do this you are probably right but if he had no control over what had happened that day or what was building up and it had nothing to...

@Mariposa Verde That was just a little bit of what he has said to me and not even the best of it!! In one he said he was lucky to have amazing kids and an amazing woman in his life, these are all recent. Even if I did say something that pushed him away, hopefully he only knows I was worried. I...

@Mariposa Verde I have always been such a positive person and I would do anything to help him in anyway I can. I hope what he said was true, it really felt true and if it wasn't I will heal. It does not make it easy. I am going to try to keep myself busy and just send him a text every week or...

Thank you, this makes me feel so much hope. I am actually having an emotional day, I miss our conversations so much. I will continue to hope and pray everyday for all of us and hope some day these can be answered xoxo

@Sweetpea I understand what you are saying. He was upfront about his PTSD, I had a stroke and told him everything I was going through- he then came out with everything he has and I was perfect the way I was. He told me over and over in 5000 texts and phone calls how this was amazing and he...
