Yes! Soulmates is a very good term! Sighs, that is a tough one. Our PTSDers are quite the conundrum - they give us the highest of highs and lowest of lows. It's the nature of the beast and the incredible person that gets taken hostage by it from time to time. He would be devastated if...

Good ideas. Yep, they do stick in your brain no matter what's going on.:rolleyes: I've picked out his main birthday gift, figured out what the engraved personalized plate will say, and thought of a few extra little snacks and toys to throw in because they'll make him happy. I'm in the process...

Ha! That was the first thing I thought of as someone who definitely doesn't :whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling: attend scifi conventions and dress up in elaborate costumes! :D There is no SG1 uniform in my closet upstairs and I didn't attend one of my school's Spirit Week days as Agent...

Some other posts recently have touched on "love language." For many years I've found this to be an interesting and special topic because my parents, who were married for forty-something years, are now divorced. I had a very happy childhood along with my siblings; no one is perfect and all...

Tater has been, in his own words, a yo-yo for the past month-ish. It started with the big packet of papers he had to fill out, which took two weeks. One week to get his head back together. After that, he had a good week where he was calm again; enjoying life, me, and his projects. He got back...

They're doing what I would do. There really is nothing good or helpful to say to a friend in your position, so they're just doing the best they can. Time is the only thing that will help you to feel better. They really have no earthly idea if he will come back to you, but it's clear from the...

Hi. Welcome. :) What you can do for him and you is to read old posts on this board. Become knowledegable about PTSD and you'll probably begin to recognize some of his behaviors and getbanbetter understanding of what might be the best course of action at a particular time. It's not easy, but...

If you're looking for things to do where you don't necessarily need a companion I'd suggest trying those painting, cooking, or pottery classes. Go watch the live music or trivia nights at a restaurant. You can look into meetup groups in your area. Have friends over for snacks and a game night.

Unfortunately, I don't have any personal phenomenon, but my brother-in-law and his mother swear up and down they were abducted by aliens.

I've got 3 names that I use all over the internet. When I signed up here, I wanted something different, just in case Tater did some stalking. I don't mind him seeing most of the things I do or write on the net, I share most of it anyway, but I'm afraid he'd feel betrayed if he saw this. I do try...

Sounds like you're better off without him. Least you found out before tying the knot.

You were just being sweet and had no idea he was going to post the pics. Try not to feel bad over that...you couldn't have known. Thanks! :)

I know how you feel, I like an activity, as well. You're right about the loud or speech prohibitive places where you can't talk - useless! I've had great times at museums, scenic tourist traps, State Parks, Sunday drives, parks with short walking trails to do some bird watching, the zoo (but we...

Whole heartedly agree with Kefira and Sweetpea. :tup: I'm like you Green, I put lots of thought into my gifts. Tater (combat vet) LOVES getting presents. He keeps a few of the special things I've given him on the little side table by his chair in the livingroom where he can see them every day...

Wow! What. A. Prick. Hopefully your own disinterest will hit him where it hurts, even if he is good at hiding it.

As for the pictures, here's what I'm thinking. If the relationship was happy and healthy and I was getting the love, support, and attention I needed then I wouldn't mind the pictures of another girl. But with the blocking and breakdown in communication, those same pics would have the potential...

The last 2 posts are very different, as @Junebug said. I suspect you'll be wishy washy for a while until something comes to a head and you decide to stay or go.

He wanted to marry you, that's not something he could forget overnight.:)

@slidelikemercury You're human and going through some major emotional upheaval. You do the best you can and that's the best you can do. Don't beat yourself up too much. Sending an "unwanted" text isn't going to kill him or your relationship. Even if you two split permanantly, and I'm not saying...

I've been anxiously awaiting the deets! LOL Hope there isn't much to tell...

Every time someone posts a new story, I am amazed yet again how similar they all are. Details here and there are different, but it all the same basic outline. Welcome to our little slice of limbo. Grab a coffee and sit a spell. :)

Oh Lord, how many time have I thought that!?!:banghead::shifty::rolleyes: You two, @Sweetpea76 and @Sighs, are nuts! LOL:p

Oh, I see. Yes, that does make sense for you to be hesitatnt, then. Ugh, everything is always so complicated. What a pain in the ass.

Fantastic! Congrats.:D

One step forward, five steps back. Hopefully once he calms down and get's his head back together he'll be closer to accepting the moving in plan...assuming you'll still want that. How exciting!:)
