I feel very overwhelmed lately and I am very irritable with my fiancé. Weve done nothing but argue lately and it seems to be an endless cycle over the stupidest things. I feel like between the PTSD and his little OCD habits that I am a ball of rubberbands ready to just snap. I don't like being...

Thank you all for the words of encouragement and support. He has yet to have any professional help and it's almost been a year he's been going through this. His employer pretty much hung him out to dry and didn't offer any kind of help and dropped his insurance. He has been working through a...

The timing of my relationship was both perfectly and wrongly timed. My fiancé and I met just prior to the incidence that caused his PTSD. I knew from early on that I loved him and he was the one for me. I watched him go through the PTSD and hurt right along beside him. He doesn't remember a lot...

I will first say this, it is your relationship and if you feel like he is the love of your life after 2 months then he may be. Everyone's relationships are different and never let anyone tell you you are wrong for falling in love. If you both are on the same page as far as where your...

M and I had the biggest fight of our relationship last night, and my heart is broken. We both said some hurtful things and talked about (or screamed rather) how we feel our relationship is falling apart. He told me to take my ring and pawn it and buy myself something. My emotions were out of...

Thank you all for the heartfelt replies. He has been dealing with this PTSD for almost 8 months and not had a bit of treatment for it due to his job not providing it even though it was work related. And also they dropped his insurance, he keeps saying he just "wants to get back to a normal life"...

I have always been the type of person that likes a plan. I like a cushion of money, I like to plan ahead. Every now and again I like the unexpected but for the most part I like organization. My M has been just the opposite since the beginning of his ptsd. He is very hard to motivate and...

My sufferer usually never completely cuts off communication, he just bails emotionally for a few days at a time. He is distant and cold and not really interested in much of anything. Even if he is not physically gone the emotionally numb hurts just as bad. I believe through any of the symptoms...

Thank you all for the great advice. He is the one with PTSD and hasn't been able to have any sort of counseling or even a formal diagnosis yet. A little background on me, I've been through many hurtful relationships in the past, and kind of swallowed my own wants and needs in order to make the...

My fiancé and I seem to be fighting lately over the stupidest little things. It's like when we both calm down we realize how ridiculous the fight was, but it's like with the stress of everything it multiples and we both just unload all the build up resentment. Does this sound familiar to any of...

Thank you tony for the kind and encouraging words. Also to Chris, I know through my research and from stories here that I will need to be the compromising one through his healing, but this is hard for me to do at times. In my past I've been through bad relationships that I always compromised...

Hi everyone, My fiancé and I met while he was in Afghanistan and we quickly formed a very strong bond. He went through a lot of rough stuff while he was there and I went through it with him in a way because we communicated and skyped often. There were several times that his immediate area was...

Has anyone else had issues with their significant other having memory lapses while taking ambien? My fiancé has taken it for years but just 2 months ago started showing major signs of undiagnosed PTSD (still trying to get into be evaluated) and insists on taking the Ambien and seriquil and then...

I am angry that I can't express my feelings because it becomes too overwhelming. I am angry that simply because he isn't in the military but has combat ptsd that he is unable to get any help. I'm angry that he is procrastinating in getting any help seeing that it is causing problems between us...

I don't think they really choose who to shut out but that the person they care about most is the one they push farthest away. My fiancé isn't very close to his family and such, so it seems to just be me that he has periods of isolation and being cold. I just can't help but be confused as to how...

My fiancé has been going through the same thing of shutting me out and I know how painful that can be, I can't imagine what it's like in your shoes but if you know in your heart that you love him, give it everything you have and just trust that he will come out of it and be able to show you his...

How can someone feel so alone right next to the man they love? I can feel the distance and him pushing me away. I made the mistake of going off on him a few days ago, because its hard to keep it all bottled up after many attempts to talk and being told to just "drop it". This whole situation is...

Jarhed, Im new here but how would I find the other site ? The combat PTSD may be more of what kind of resources I am needing.
