Nurse nurse, you are completely correct. He called this morning and told me he gets upset with my tone because he just doesn't like me. He can't stand the sound of my voice and it upsets him that much. Again, NO responsibility for his behavior. Tbh, the abusive things he said were normal for...

So after I posted, he sent me a text again. He said I was a coward, neurotic, and a broken person and that he doesn't want me. After that he sent another text asking me to play video games with him, just no relationship and that he'd call me in the morning on the way to work. Do you think he is...

Hi Nicolette, Amethyst and all the wonderful people who've commented on my posts in the past. So, you all know that I have been with a man in Bahrain with untreated PTSD for 5 years ( he has been a sufferer for 3). Our relationship has limped along, he has been manipulative, verbally and...

Hi everyone, thank you all for the caring and constructive replies! I think I knew what you all were telling me here, but needed some other opinions because he always says *I'm the problem* and sometimes I half wonder if I am because of all the arguments we have. Until he starts respecting...

Hi guys, I need some advice and you all are so good sometimes at seeing what I don't see because I'm in the thick of it. There will be a bit of backstory, I apologize. I'm angry at my beloved, so so angry. Last month, he had an extremely stressful situation arise at work, and he began to...

Lots I think, lol. Hi Amethyst! Have a wonderful day today!

****HUGS****** Awful day today. He got angry with me last week because of my tone of voice. One wrong word, and I'm deleted from messenger, his email and blocked from texting. He says I've ruined his vacation and he's finished with me. Does anyone else just get SO sick sometimes of how little...

Hey guys! I have a quick question for you all. I'm a bit torn. These forums are so wonderful, chock full of great information and caring people. There are some days when you guys are my lifeline-it's so nice to vent and talk with people who genuinely understand my situation and can offer...

Hi jkr :) I'm in a relationship with a man with untreated combat ptsd.Like you,I often struggle with trying to be patient when he forgets promises or fails to keep planned dates. It honestly drives me crazy sometimes, and I've lost my temper more than I care to admit over some of his behaviors...

Really sorry you dealt with that on your own Amethist, I hope you sleep well tonight. As a lawyer, I know sometimes the paperwork a client has to deal with can be daunting at best! Really hope things go better tomorrow. You give so many of us positive words and hope, you're really appreciated...

Anytime John John, thank you as well! It's so rare to find someone who "gets" how we feel.. that's why this forum is really wonderful! I understand your regret about your daughter-my son is with his father. Being alone makes things harder-and often makes you wish for what used to be all the...

JohnJohn, I'm so sorry. Doesn't it just make you want to scream and yell? I hate feeling helpless and during my sweetheart's periods of avoidance-that's how I feel. I'm subject to his needs and must wait until he is more centered. The waiting is the hardest part for me. The missing him too-I...

Hi everyone, haven't posted in a while but having a real down type of day. PTSD is such a monster!! My beloved avoided me all weekend, he's under major stress and he just didn't spend any time. His M.O. when he avoids is to leave me a quick text, to know he's okay then not respond back to any of...

Hi Proudwife, Sisu and Pale! I guess I'm just frustrated because he *can't* get help in Bahrain. I was really frustrated a few months ago and contacted both the national PTSD center and Dr. Charles Figley, an expert on PTSD. Both said that there was no one on the island qualified to treat him...

I am reasonably attractive, am intelligent. I have a doctorate-I'm an educated professional woman. I *know* if I left my beloved, I could find someone really great...the problem is, I love *him*. And I want only him. I'm so freakin' tired though guys. So, so tired. He lied to me yesterday, and...

Hi everyone!!! Sorry it has taken so long to reply-I had a massive paper due and needed to get it done! Sooo...he talked to me Thursday morning and was extremely harsh saying he's sick of me being a broken, taped together person and I need to get my life together. Then I asked him what I could...

Sephira is mad, and frustrated and bleh..! I just need to vent guys. My boyfriend and I had been doing so well! So, so well! I set boundaries, he listened.. it was great. He had to move today and won't hve an internet connection for 5 weeks.This totally stresses me because until he comes home...

Hi Jamie! Welcome! What you're going through is really rough, exhausting and must you feel defeated. After reading your post, it reminded me of what I've been going through until quite recently. When a fight would occur with my boyfriend, I would always be to blame no matter what, and the...

Hi Ish, Nicolette, myvetswife, Bloomin, and tphillips. Sorry I haven't posted to reply-been really down today. I want to thank you so much for being so supportive and nice. Each of you are really wonderful human beings that I am honored to have met. I went to class, and when I came home there...

Well, my tumultuous relationship with my boyfriend is over. After oversleeping and arriving 9 hours late to the "date" we set up, he didn't like my tone when I said "Let's just do this a different day, you sound tired. This set him off, he started yelling and calling me names, then impassively...

Well, I did it guys. I sent him an email detailing a few of the behaviors that he displays that were hurtful and abusive. I set more boundaries, and asked them to please stop doing those things because they hurt me. I don't know if he'll do them or not. He may walk. If he does, as heartbroken as...

Hi owl, welcome to the forums! I'm only been here a short while, but everyone here is wonderful. This forum is a great place to vent when things get tough and you need an ear! I completely understand about being conflicted-wondering whether to stay or go, and how much more of this can you...

More drama today. Sometimes it's so hard to hold on and stay. I'm so tired of gigantic debacles over such small things. Intellectually, I know why he is acting the way he is. But that doesn't stop me from hurting. Just feel like there is no hope today. Bleh. hugs to myvetswife and...

Thanks SeekingSerenity, hugs back! I wish I could just tell him how I feel, that I'm hurt and frustrated, angry and am losing hope that we can make it. Can't though cause relationship chats are a trigger and cause fights and days of avoidance. Emailed the center for PTSD, there are no...

I really need to vent yet again. Tried dealing with this myself tonight, but I've been just sitting in my room alternately seething and crying for hours. I had a fight with my sister today, we screamed at each other and I came home from work feeling like crap. He's my best friend, and the...
