How would I do that?

Check my last response to TiredTexan about the therapy. He tells me he's been known about PTSD and what I struggle with. Basically he doesn't think a therapist could help him with anymore than what he knows. I think if he really wanted it to work, he'd be going to couples and maybe individual...

Yes it definitely feels too soon. He demands it immediately most times and I hadnt had time to collect myself. He went with me to one of my therapy sessions once, and my therapist spoke to us about giving me time and using some kind of code. The plan didn't stick because it just wasn't enough...

Im sorry you're going through this as well. Usually after an outburst, he'll give me hours long speeches and zero time to collect myself. He's tried to force me to talk and I simply cannot. I've told him plenty of times to give me my space but that's a hard thing for him to do. So I just shut...

Several triggers...if I'm under a lot of stress, my whole mood just shifts, and I've had a lot of big life stressors the past 9 months since I've had to cut ties with my entire family of abusers, move out of state somewhere new, and experience financial struggles due to that. Often times, when...

Thank you, yes I agree. I am learning to take control back once I'm triggered, however, I'm in a situation now that feels like a constant trigger. It's incredibly hard for to feel extreme amounts of anxiety knowing he's upset with me and may leave.

I've disassociated and said hurtful things to my husband so many times that he's now in a place where he's not sure that I really want to be with him, and is considering divorce. He's waiting to see if things change, but seeing him in this place only triggers my anxiety more. I am dying inside...

To answer your question, yes, it does make me push away or distance myself more when I see my husband is upset, especially if it involves me. Sometimes, at the moment that he's mad, I'll play cool. But this anger will fester inside me until all is cool, and then I'll "act up". I would say that...

Wow, I've made my husband feel similarly to you. Reading it makes me feel so bad. I am in therapy and working on PTSD and I'm trying to win my husband's trust & our bond back. If you'd like to talk to someone who is on the same end as your girlfriend feel free to message me.

Hey, I realize this is an old post but are you still active? Would like to speak with you further to see how your relationship is doing now.

I'm married and I'm the one with PTSD. I've been in therapy for about 7 months now and it was within this time that I found out I have it. Getting help and learning my actions and what they come from has been very helpful for me, and I believe it would be for your girlfriend as well...

Thank you for responding. How long have you been at this stage with your wife? And is she doing well with it? My husband got like this after my last outburst about a month ago. I've been in therapy for 7 months and now I suggested we go together but he says he'll think about it. He's being kind...

Due to my ptsd outbursts and disassociating, I've made my husband feel like I don't really want to be with him. He believes that deep down I want to leave, but that could not be further from the truth. Now we're in this weird space with each other because he's not sure what he wants to do. He's...

Thanks for the your reply. I'm happy to hear you are both going strong. I'm sure my hubby has some issues of his own but he's not sure if he wants to attend therapy yet. I just hope we can work past this.

Wow, I'm still new to learning that I have PTSD and it still surprises me to see someone else experience the same struggles as myself, and this situation sounds so much like what my hubby & I go through. I just joined this site and posted my first thread, if you can find it. I'd love to keep in...

Been together 5 years, married 2. It wasn't until 7 months ago that I found out I have PTSD and been in therapy since. It stems from childhood abuse & an abusive ex-husband. Long story short, I have had many episodes of either blowing up on my husband & saying very hurtful things, being...
