Gosh, I really know how rough this is. The best thing to do is to completely distance yourself for a month. Don't text/phone call/visit (don't drink because you'll end up texting) It's best to delete their number altogether and hide it somewhere. You need to tell him "hey, our relationship...

I'm sorry :( Relationships always have that uncertainty aspect, but do you really want to wake up every day wondering if you'll still be in a relationship by the afternoon? I hate it, and it's going to be painful for quite some time, but if you stay together, it'll be much worse for much...

I can relate to this. I have extremely sensitive, and it bothers (mostly) my ex partners. One even told me I would never have a healthy relationship. Since I'm like this, I hate confrontation. I am constantly holding back my feelings until I resent the person I'm with. It's not their fault...

Just keep in mind that if it's possible to be hurt by another, it's also possible to be healed by another. People will let you down, and they won't always do it on purpose. It's very hard to trust people, ESPECIALLY, when you have PTSD. Don't give up on everyone, though...there are good people...

First of all, do you have any idea what type you have? I work in Healthcare and I know that it can happen with PTSD. There is a part of your psyche that want to forget the traumatic experience...so it essentially creates this person. Don't feel alone, this is not so uncommon, but be sure to...

I know it's hard, but try not to worry yourself sick about this. It means a lot that they were both open about what happened. The pain will lessen with time, trust me. Once I accidentally sent my best friend's husband a picture of me in my bra (that was meant for my husband at the time) I was...

The only time I would ever have a problem with my significant other having female friends is if I wasn't allowed to hang out with them. If you say that you're open to her coming to your plans, it really shouldn't be a problem. Heck, most of the time my partner will ask if I wanna join and if...

You're right about it being unhealthy, however, I'm not sure how abnormal it is. The problem with this is, down the road, you'll start to repress things because you know one stupid fight could lead to a break up. This will cause you to hold things back and, eventually, resent him and yourself...

My ex-partner never actually told me he had PTSD, but he has essentially all the symptoms. He did tell me about his war experiences, sometimes in detail. I think we would have had a better chance if he hadn't been in denial and told me what to watch out for. I fell in love with him before he...

My ex-husband and ex-boyfriend both have PTSD...They were both SUPER awkward in social settings. I have anxiety/depression, and I looked like a social butterfly in comparison. If you ever want to handle the situation, if it's that bad, do it super gently because you don't want to end up with a...

I've been on anti-depressants/anti-anxiety medication for the better part of my adult life. I did quit and go back on them, but I never had any problem with memory. What I did do what make me stop obsessing over my past failures/experiences...when I quit they do come back with a little...

What I have learned from dealing with my year relationship that ended, is that you HAVE to give yourself time. Don't beat yourself up because it takes you months to feel better. If you hide these emotions it will manifest itself later. I have good days and bad days still. Emotions are not...

This situation really reminded me of my ex-boyfriend. He would act all sensitive and caring one minute...then another he would decide that he wasn't going to tell me he loved me because he had a bad day. I would ask if he was excited about something and he would tell me he didn't get...

I'm 29 years old and fell madly in love with a man 15 years older than I am (who suffers from PTSD). He has, just recently isolated himself from me. I'm not sure if he'll be able to love anyone completely because he is in denial of his problem...you, however, know that you have this going on...

This explanation actually helped a lot. He does have problems with denial because he acts like all the sweet stuff he's done never happened. It makes me feel crazy. I'm dealing day by day. I still miss him terribly and wish we could still be friends. I go from one day saying "forget it!" to...

He likes to pretend that he doesn't have emotions, so it's hard for me to understand this, but I'm sure you're right. I just have to remember he puts on a strong face, but he's still a person.

That is the perfect quote, for this situation! I want to hug him and kick him at the same time! No idea if I'll get the chance again, since he's on his isolation kick from me at the moment. We both just have to take it one day at a time!

While I like it when people understand my circumstances, I wouldn't wish this pain and uncertainty on my worst enemy. We both probably know we are better off without the pain, we fell in love for a reason...love isn't always logical. I wish I knew what to in both our circumstances.

I keep trying to understand why he cut me from his life so easily. He used to be so sweet, I almost couldn't handle it, but when I mentioned those times, he acted like I was crazy and making them up in my head. When I asked him, towards the end, if he loved me and he would point out how...

That sounds like a really good rule. That way if he continues to ignore me, I Don't have to find my happiness at the bottom of a gallon of ice cream. Gotta watch the figure.

I found a way to drop off his stuff without him having to see me. It is just hard to fathom why he going do out of his way to not see me.

I recently posted that my former boyfriend/room-mate/best friend totally cut me out of his life, for reasons unknown to me. I'm fairly certain it's because his PTSD(since he has done this to family members numerous times), but I had a couple questions, since I don't want to be cut forever. He...

Thank you so much. It does help me to know, that I've done everything I possibly can....I do think it would be easier if he just gave me something. My friends have told me that he really probably doesn't have a reason to be mad, which is why he refuses to even talk to me on the phone or text...

He did just recently start talking to his daughter again, so I can at least be thankful that is has someone right now. You're right I do need to leave him alone. It is really hard, though. We've been through so much together. I hope he contacts me, at some point...but I really don't know if...
