I think he is in a safety bubble because he hasn't talked to his mother about anything either. He did go out with a few of our friends last night and seemed to have fun. But last weekend he was with friends and they told me he seemed to be in a funk. So maybe yesterday was just a good day for...

I had a feeling he was lashing out, that's why I didn't respond. We've been together for 2.5 years and his symptoms have gotten worse without treatment and he realizes that and therapy was a huge step for him. I think I'll hold off on telling him about the site and continue to give him space...

@TerriB8511 Read this response. This is from an old forum I wrote during our 6 month break up. <3

My veteran started therapy after his breakdown at the end of July. We haven't talked much since but I texted him to let him know it's okay to reach out so that I know his heart is still with me, he replied back and said "honestly I've been happier not having been with you, I haven't had a temper...

I deactivated my account yesterday and I'm staying off the grid for a while

My father also has PTSD but my mother didn't tell me until recently and now it all makes sense to me. I don't talk to my parents about it either I just tell them he's fine and he's busy with work....

I know getting attached to family is so hard :/ as if this wasn't hard enough....

We agreed that I loved him and he loved me and that's all that matters... and to focus on recovery and put our relationship aside.... for now. I told him it's my choice to be here and support him and I take responsibility for that and he shouldn't feel guilty for it.

We went to a concert recently when he was feeling off. I'm really not sure what to say? If you had plans to go together, I would personally just ask if the plan was still on, so you can plan accordingly. I also get stupid anxieties about another female, I'm not sure why when he's a faithful...

I've lived with my veteran, his mom and brother before he moved out into his own house. I call her "Mom", we cook together and do Sunday dinners, family functions, holidays, go to bingo, do yard work, visit her at work/met her boss, church, exercising, home decor - we've always had a...

I'm not sure if I would ask to go or not, that's really your call. He may not even remember ou guys had tickets.

I've never stopped talking to his mom since we started dating, even throughout our breakups, her and I have a mutual understanding and a great bond so I'm not worried about that at all

I forgot to add - "One that will put the challenges of the past into perspective"

His mom texted me this morning, but she's new to texting, who only responds in short messages so I really don't get much satisfaction hearing from her unless it's in person. She does write a little longer if she emails me at work. She asked if I had talked to my veteran. I explained what...

I remember when we got back together in April, we were good but one weekend he was saying he wasn't ready to be in a relationship, things were too fast for him so we discussed taking things extra slow and easing back in. The following weekend, we were at a friends house and I was going to sleep...

Maybe he's still trying to figure it all out. I doubt 3 weeks in therapy has miraculously made things better for him. All he knows is he feels better being alone. That doesn't mean he doesn't love me but I'm sure he's confused.

I agree I don't like the no contact thing either. And we've tried talking about communication and he admits he has a hard time with it but can never seem to fix it. Usually I can tell when something is going on with him and then it lasts weeks until finally he breaks up with me. That's happened...

Yes, I know. I was kind of breaking up with him during his breakdown a few weeks ago, I just couldn't handle him pushing me away again, and he said he wouldn't be dating anyone for a long time if we didn't work out. That doesn't mean he wouldn't sleep around and although he didn't when we were...

I texted him yesterday to let him know to reach out once in a while so I know his heart is still with me. He started therapy 3 weeks ago and his response back was "in all honesty Im starting to realize I'm happier not having been with you, I haven't had an outburst in weeks". I haven't...

My doctor referred me to mine, and she specializes in PTSD. I would consider looking for another therapist. Not sure what made the session so awful, but like I've said you can't beat yourself up. What's done is done. I'm not sure what helps you to calm down your anxiety, but if you do take a...

Does your therapist specialize in PTSD?

I have to agree with you 100%, in my mind it is PTSD and "if it wasnt he wouldnt never come back". Exactly how I feel too. Our stories are so similar its scary. He always teaches me survival techniques and we like to go hiking. He bought me a hiking bag with a camel back and ammo for my...

It does, and I have thought about those things. So I texted him saying pretty much what you said... "It's been about a month. We agree to stay together and that I would give you the support and space you need to start therapy. Cutting me off completely wasn't what I intended and its hurtful but...

I think I will text him then, because it has been over 3 weeks almost 4. I hear nothing from him and I know he started therapy but I think you are right.

He said those things back when he was diagnosed in 9/2015 (and still denied it) and then a month later we broke up. He has issues with his father's death and feeling like his life would be different if his father never got into that car accident that eventually ended his life four years later...
