Any one of these posts could be mine. We all have such similar situations with our Sufferers and our break-ups. I sympathize with all of you. Why do we hang on to false hope? I wish I had the magic answer.
I find myself constantly thinking about my ex BF and what I can say to him the next time I speak to him on the phone to entice him to come back to me. He already told me 2 months ago he was "done". I am unable to accept this because I love him so much and he tells me loves me and misses me...
I, too, was in a similar situation. It is impossible for me to understand my Sufferer's reasoning for breaking off a 4-year wonderful, committed relationship. He sounds so irrational. But, what does not make sense to me, makes perfect sense to him. Since I love him so much, I will remain...
There will be no face-to-face meeting. He told me this last week when I asked him to meet me. He said it would be too hard on both of us. He said he misses me and loves me, but cannot be with me. I don't understand this and I suppose I never will. I am still crying every day and am having...
@Over9000 -- I wish you could tell that to my Sufferer who just recently ended our 4-year relationship. I WAS the one person who was a constant in his life but apparently he would rather isolate himself than have me in his life.

My PTSD sufferer is totally unpredictable. I think this might be a common trait. Men I dated in the past who did not have PTSD were predictable so they were easier to read. There simply is no explanation for PTSD sufferers' actions. It's so hard to let go, but I think we all must admit to...
Solara, I understand what you are saying, but he definitely chased me. My feelings toward him had recently started to change. I believe he felt this and broke up with me before I broke up with him. Years ago I had an older male boss who said this to me (when I was having boyfriend trouble)...
Snowangel1225, Thank you for setting me straight. It's hard to face the truth but I believe you are absolutely correct in everything you said. Hopefully, I will be able to open myself to the universe and find someone new who loves me for myself.
I am new to this forum, and have been reading posts all day. They have been extremely helpful to me and the ache in the pit of my stomach seems to have lessened (at least temporarily). This is the short version of my story:
I had a four-year relationship with my Vietnam veteran. I knew from...
