Oh yes it is about the medication sweetie, that thought just ran across my mind that's all. I hope that he does not. We get along pretty good for the most part. That thought crossed my mind because he have told me stories in the past about him having more than one woman. But, I'm glad that...

@TreeHugger , I'm not sure but I can find out from him. I think if we can find that out, we can do things better. Thank you to ED and you both.

Is there anything ED that he can do to try and treat the problem. Would Viagra or Cialis help him or it may be dangerous for him to take it since he is on so many medications? By the way, how are you? :) It bothers me so bad that he gets agitated, sometimes I feel that he may find another...

I'm a supporter of my man that suffers with PTSD, well, my situation is that his performance has declined drastically when it comes to intimacy. The last two times that we were together, he was having trouble getting aroused and staying that way. Also, he has not reached a climax since we...

@Redhead75 , yes I know what you mean about that. The thing that people don't understand about mental illness is that their way of thinking is not of a normal pattern of the way that we think but normal thinking people will not understand that. They will have no patience with somebody like...

@Redhead75 , I'm a supporter but I will tell you some of the things that my sufferer tells me and things that I have seen him do. Yes, they sometimes do sleep a lot, they do withdraw maybe for a few days to a few weeks, mine isolated himself from me for 30 days and he blocked my calls and texts...

@PrettyHurts, you are very welcome. It took me a few times but I got it now :-)

@medley29 I hope that they are I'm scared to death to ask him are we back together or not?:confused::shifty: so I'm just going to play it by ear and wait a few more weeks before I ask him or see if he continues to come around once the project in completed.

@JT80, you are very welcome. I told my sufferer that not just he that has PTSD but we have PTSD and my reason for saying that is because I chose to take him upon me in my life and he is a part of me so the PTSD is a part of me as well. So we are one and we both have it. I support him in...

@medley29 , your self care could be anything for buying something nice for your self, or going to get manicures or pedicure or massages, or hot showers, exercise, music soft music or aroma therapy just to name a few. anything to get you some me time. If you do that, then I think that you will...

@Saelben you're talking going in a downward spiral, you need to try to think about the positive things in life, like talking to your friends and being able to walk and feel the sun on your skin and have sight to see. It can be worse honey because you could be dead and not see and feel these...

@medley29 that's sweet. My sufferer does not spend the weekends with me at all since we have been seeing each other. when he comes to see me, we sit in his car and he has not met my daughter because he is not ready to meet her because he wants to see how we are going to work out first. We...

@JT80, as far as your family making statements about you being stronger than they are and that they will not take it or pout up with it, in a sense, they are saying that your are silly or stupid for staying with her. Well, don't pay them any attention because they have no understanding probably...

@medley29, I understand that it's hard for you to back off because we sometimes get used to the person being there all the time and we can talk to them when we want to. Sometimes we men/women have a tendency to get clingy at times but a person with PTSD does not like to be clung to like that...

@journey31, you can still contact him but keep it as minimal as you can. Maybe twice a week and if you do talk to him, try not to stay on the phone long unless he wants to. Keep the conversation sweet but to a minimal. Don't talk too much about the relattionship. Try to encourage him because he...

@gizmo, I'm so proud of you, you are doing pretty good dear hugs to you. :hug:

Yes I think that you should in the long run it will be better and when he does bounce back he will have a better attitude toward you as well. My sufferer is coming around slowly after blocking me for a month. He is talking to me some now. I'm just going to have to ease back into things with...

Wow dear, you're in a tough spot. I feel that both of you guys past relationships have something to do with it as well, not entirely but a little bit of it. Sometimes we bring a lot of emotional baggage with us from one relationship to another and before we can recover from the last one, we...

@medley29, he liked the fact that you left his favorite candy that was sweet of you :-). Even though, you got not response, he appreciated it at least he knows that you are still there, and guess what? he still want's you in his life because he allowed you dog over to his house. He still wants...

:hug:@journey31, when they deal with this type of disorder, they will put themselves down and they will not feel worthy of anything, what you can do is try to encourage him that despite of his situation, he is doing good for what he is going through. Yes he will get defensive because it's one of...

It depends on how often you do it. I won't do it everyday. Maybe once or twice a week. Like I said they can only take but so much when they are like that. Alsk when you do talk, try not to talk on the relationship unless he brings it up. It makes it easier on him and less painful for you.

You can send him encouraging things to him but don't do it too often because he will feel bombarded and that you are too eager and that will make him uncomfortable to deal with. Mine stayed silent on me for one month honey and that was torture for me and it was rough. So don't bee too over the...

You're welcome dear. How long has he been quiet? Yes they do deal with stress in different ways, has he been diagnosed with PTSD or undiagnosed? Has he or is he going to therapy? Usually, when they shut down like that, something triggered their PTSD and they just get quiet and shut down and...

Well, just let him be for the moment, that's good that he has not been mean to you because some of them can get pretty rude like my sufferer does at times. I used to push him but I don't because he left me for a while but gradually, he is coming around slowly. Just give him his space dear, is...

@CB2015, unless your partner starts to read about the disorder and is willing to learn about it and how your son is, then you will always have problems with her understanding and problems with your relationship with her because she may just get fed up and leave and I hope that does not happen...
