Or just tell him your uncomfortable having the young man stay at your home.

There really is no time limit. You have to go through the processing. Only you know how long it will take. You have a lot of hurt your holding on to. If he wants a relationship with you things need to change. As far as company coming to stay, is there someone you can stay with while he’s their?

I’m so glad to hear he went for therapy. Now it’s time for you to take this time for you. So when he comes home your in a good place for yourself. I’m also happy to see you posting on the forum again :hug:

Hi, sorry your both having a hard time. I know how scary this can be for you and frustrating. Sometimes upping doses or adding other meds can help but it’s all trial and error. What may work for one, may not work for another. This may be a dumb question, did you ask to be on a cancellation list...

I don’t think your over reacting at all. If the tables where turned how would he react? He’s being nice, like when you first meet. To me it shows he has control over his behaviour. If he’s treating you nicely because he fears losing you, he should be treating you this way because he values you...

I understand your feelings. I’m sure finding the card to your husband didn’t help. I’m glad you were able to talk to him about it. By his answer, it sounds one sided on her part. I know it’s hard to stand back. Especially when you feel abandoned and your own anxiety is high and all you want to...

I understand the confusion your feeling. I’m glad to hear you are starting therapy for yourself. As hard as it is, you need to be your focus and your son. It’s good your husband is going to AA meeting and group therapy for PTSD. He may be symptomatic at the moment and trying to keep his head...

Please go and file a restraining order on your family. Police should take your word over anyone’s. Also add your ex to it. You could also ask the store if they have surveillance cameras in their parking lot. Sending support your way.

I can understand your struggle. Can I ask how the kids are with you out of the house?

My hubby has PTSD, not from war. Everyone supports me here, no different then anyone else. I hope I answer your question :)

If you both love each other and it seems like you do. Then you both need to work on yourselves. Both be in therapy, so you can be there for each other. The thing is, you can’t be there for someone if you can’t support yourself. I think it’s great that you want to learn how to help (support)...

How are you giving her space right now? Are you still in the home?

Instead of thinking, I want to start dating. How about, I want to start meeting new people. Try new things that interest you. You may meet someone there. It’s an interest you share and can open conversation. There’s also not a label, like dating. Your just trying new things and meeting new people.

I believe you :hug:

Welcome to the forum. It must of been hard sharing your story. I’m glad you found us and reaching out for support.

You may feel like you don’t need therapy. I’m a supporter and if she start her own therapy, trust me when I say “Seek therapy for yourself “. Therapy will be hard for her, it will be hard on you. Are you still living together? If you are I’m more then happy to share some of the things that...

Can you move into a different room?

I think that would be a good start. I know it can sound crazy when you hear take care of yourself first. Your thinking, how am I supposed to think of myself when my marriage and life are falling apart. Well, 1- you can’ t support him, if you can’t support yourself. 2- It’s easier to set...

Yes it can work, but it takes work on both sides. Are you in therapy?

Sending support and hugs (hug)

You said you like red or more blue purple shades of nail polishes. Blue and red make purple :)

Welcome to the forum. Have you thought about asking her to go to therapy?

Welcome to the forum :)

B.J I’m so sorry your hurting right now. Your right, it’s not right for anyone to go out of their way to hurt someone. I guess it really shows you his true character and that he’s not the right person for you. Your a strong woman who could see the best in someone and I’m pretty sure in people...

I remember hearing this one and I cried. When my SO was first symptomatic and acted like someone I didn’t know. I always told him. I see YOU, not your symptoms. Paralyzed by NF https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DHhHUZsXTBk
