I did take your advice and try writing my insecurities down! It definitely helped a bit.im trying to keep my focus on me as much as possible. I hope isolation for you ends soon no matter the reasons it still doesn't make it fair
Thank you frieda! I appreciate your input
I am definitely trying to find out more information about anniversaries..as i believe there are many, and not just ones that are marked on the calendar. I feel like im researching and reading as i have been from the beginning of this relationship but I'm...

I never knew it would be this challenging but now i know i still...
Thank you for your reply!
He is definitely someone i truly care for. I love your advice and a lot of it I could apply to situations that happened that i couldn't really understand. Thanks to your reply i kind of do now ... especially the part where a loving gesture might be misunderstood at...
Lol! This is great advice!
Unfortunately i feel like i go through those emotions every hour of the day. One minute, i feel guilty , sad, and then out of no where im angry as hell. I hope I can remove myself from the situation, i feel trapped by my own emotions more than anything else.
Jm I'm sorry to hear that! Thats one thing no one needs is someone bouncing in and out like that . I read one of your post. I hope things will get better for you and that you pass or passed your test!
How did you let him know these were your boundaries? Did he immediately respect them or was it hard to do at first?
I initially asked for a break ,i always do when it seems like things won't be good for him. I wanted to give him some time for memorial day. I will admit memorial day is not...
How long did you wait? If you waited at all.
I'm doing my best to get on with my life, even working on starting my business again. Trying to think about only ME and not WE , just seems like the hardest thing these days. The thought of him not coming back occurred to me today and it hit me hard.I...
( mainly venting but everyone feel free to respond if you want) I've kept up with all his appointments ....its hard for me to not send that reminder text , I don't want to text him..but i hope he doesn't miss any of his appointments. I find it easier not to text him, now that i know a little...
I hate to say what i am thinking as this is a public forum..
But thank you for your reply all of your advice has truly been helpful..i especially thank you for saying there's nothing wrong with it not being for me! It's really something i need to think about, with lots of time and consideration...
I know and its really stupid of me but im trying really hard to remove all the ideas i have about relationships to the trash bin...im trying really hard to accept that this isn't a normal relationship ..i have been since i found out.
I dont even know if im really upset about cancelling...
Ahh i see! This is my first time too..i actually didnt know things like this happened .i was really happy to find a good useful and active forum. I know this isnt exactly something you can prepare for but i think if i had more information and a support network which i do not have i would be able...
Thanks for the response......i usually dont make plans when my seizures are in affect i also let people know ahead of time . .i can see where you would try and make similarities ...... and i admit there are some as far as accepting each others issues go, but shutting people out is on a whole...
I feel like my biggest issue in this relationship is lack of communication ...he was trying for a while and it was great and i really appreciated it..but idk..... i keep thinking about it and it's hard for me to decide.....i know he wouldn't leave because of my issues so that makes it much harder
6 weeks??? 6 freaking weeks ? Gosh i need to research more because i just don't understand ....how do you deal? And whats it like when they come back ?
I hope it's not jerkish behavior! I've never known him to be a jerk... stubborn at most but we've only been together six months now so i hope it hasnt turned into that kind of behavior. However when i think about it now its definitely hard to tell if its him or ptsd ...as i am still trying to...
Thanks for the reply ..also thank you for the stress cup example
This post will be long
...I feel maybe i should be a bit more clear here ..i did not want to spend time with him on memorial day just time when he got back....that was his idea ..i didnt make any of the plans i mentioned..he did...
That sucks....but at least now I know what i can expect so im really thankful for the heads up... I really wasn't prepared for things to be like this ..but i guess its something i can't actually prepare for ..im not sure whats normal and what's not these days ..these days i really dont know what...
I dont really interfere in the relationships in my opinion...and i definitely try to mind my p's and q's with the one he lives with even though i know he doesn't like me for god knows what reason ...i dont feel ive been jealous because i prefer not spending all my time with someone so I don't...
