Hi there, my husband sometimes wakes up jumping out of the bed and yelling. You don't do this on purpose, right? No need to feel guilty then.

... and she did not have this issues before?

I think what you describe is more than just introversion. Did she suffer a traumatic experience?

Means a lot to me, you explain it like this. Your daddy is a Vet? Did he go places with his friends but not with you / your mother?

Actually I have told him countless times. We have a toddler and I think that is also important for the boy that we go places together as a family... but we rarely do, nearly never. My hubby will often promise we do but then he has an excuse why he can't go. That is very, very frustrating and...

Thank you, RussH. Well... it would really mean lots to me if one of the Vets frequenting this page would tell me that he always goes places with his best friend but never goes places with his wife. Going places together means so much too me. It is part of my love laguage :(

I think he might have PTSD but I am not a psych and do not know him. If the possibility scares him I would not push him too hard... Rather tell him if he needs to talk you will listen, tell him seeing a psych does help you rather than tell him he needs to see one. This is what I would do. Did...

Best of luck!!!

My hubbies best friend is another Vet. When he is with him he is different, like more careless, talkative. Hubby does not like going crowded and noisy places and that is okay. I accept it. What is hard for me to accept however is that he can go that places when with his best friend. I really...

Thank you, guys! Lucycat, let me explain it better. You rarely see my hubbies emotions. Never was an overstatement... and when he needs to cry he does not want me to see it / "hides" / sends me away. Gingerly, was there something you did to resolve the problem. Lullaby, will read the book...

Just wondered how many of you guys have a child or children with their Vet.

I do respect my husbands opinion. I asked him why he said "Yes", he said it was because he agrees but later it turned out he did not agree at all. Perhaps wants to be non confrontational. So what do you suggest me to do during a discussion?

You mant to say that I should tell my husband "Yes!", "Yes", YES!" to help him feel more respected during a discussion?

Welcome to the forum. Tricho...whatever is pulling your hair, isn't it? My husband does this as a way to cope with stress, he also sometimes acts very OCD'ish. Can we do anything to help you?

Really? You always agree with people even if you don't agree? Why? Do you think they do not like you anymore if you don't?

What is your relationship with him like?

I think he feels like it but I am not being confrontonial. I do not know what to do. My husband thinks we agrue a lot when I think we don't. He does not like it when people have different opinions on anything - for example a music, a book, a political party - and either agrees with me tries to...

Only partially. You are talking about the times you have an argument about one of the PTSD related behaviour of yours. I was also talking about "normal" arguments. The last argument we had for example was about fixing the roof. My husband wanted to do it himself and I was opposed to it, because...

My hubby only sometimes understand that he acts OCD'ish. He sometimes says "Okay, I might be a little OCD" and sometimes he considers everybody else to be chaotic, unclean, not on time... he is never on time when he does not want to do something but when he does want to do something he is...

@PureDogs What would you wish how people would react? I do tell him I really appreciate his opinion and want him to give honest answers instead of agreeing with everything.

Why do you think that military training makes people more arrogant? ... My husband can be a little snobby sometimes. I thought that this was a normal character trait. I do this, let me give an example. I want to do something, my husband does not want to. Does my husband tell me? No! He acts...

Thank you for your answers guys. Please exuse that my answer is very short. I have read everything carefully but as a mother of a young child I never have much time on my hands. Barbarian, you talk about anger. I never saw my husband angry. NEVER!!! I wonder if this is normal. An example: we...

What do you mean by "ex sufferer"? Is he your ex and does still suffer from PTSD or did he use to suffer from PTSD but no longer?

Do you think he acts like this because I trigger him? It's hard to discuss ANYTHING with him because he stonewalls... if it would trigger him he would never tell me.

I heard that PTSD from being abused can be triggered by an argument. Is that also the case for combat PTSD? I noticed my husband has an extreme dislike of arguments. Whenever we argue he just stonewalls and says "Yes", "Yes", "Yes" to anything I say. However he is not convinced. He just agrees...
