We've had lots of relationship issues with him pushing me away. The other day I asked him "do you not want to be happy", and he said no. He doesn't care if he's happy. All he wants is his job. But he said he's not pushing me away on purpose.
I haven't heard from him since Saturday.
Why would he...
Can you see when someone cares? Can you see if they're trying to be there and supportive. I know that doesn't mean you'll act on anything. But are you aware of it? And how does it make you feel?
My friend said that to me tonight. That I need to figure out, if I'm being patient and persistent, or enabling his behavior towards me.
People who don't understand PTSD tell me that they would've already left.
I really don't know. How can I tell? I don't let him get away with everything. I do...
Do they have some kind of radar for fed up? Seriously every time I hit my breaking point, where I think I can't take anymore, he does something completely random and unexpected to suck me back in. He does it before I can tell him I'm done, do its not like he's trying to pull me back in...
Dating a combat vet/cop.
He will not let me get close. We met years ago. We keep dating and when we get close, he runs. This time he's not running, but pushing. It's been months and he still won't let me in at all. He says he's afraid of getting hurt. He says he's not ready for a...
He's stationed on the other side of the country. I texted him telling him I missed him.
His response was why. I told him because I wanted to be near him. He didn't respond. So, I said I feel like it doesn't bother you.
He called. Asked "what doesn't bother me".
Told him the distance. He...
He has been extremely distant these past two weeks. He is in the process of being restationed next week. I know he's busy. So wasn't concerned until I found out he's been drinking. He's going out to bars. This isn't normal. He normally just sits at home on the xbox. Do I ask if he's ok? Do...
I know it isn't his fault, but his lack of emotion is really getting to me.
I'm so in love but haven't told him because he shuts down or deflects any sign of emotion. Even has said things that make me feel bad, such as needy, or emo girl.
Right now I'm going through a lot. My mom is such a...
He just had more than he could handle and I'm not sure what to do for him.
He's possibly getting chartered out. He planned on being career military. (chapter 18]
So he thinks he's losing his job and doesn't know what to do. He was helping his disabled mom with money. He said if he gets to...
He's told me he thinks he has ptsd about a month ago. He should be home any day now, but its always 3 weeks, every time he tells me.
He's still in Afghanistan. A friend that we decided during his deployment we wanted to be together. Have discussed marriage and I'm meeting him mom in March...
That is all i was told about his ptsd. He didn't even tell me he had it voluntarily. He said something that made me ask if he had it, and he admitted it. So obviously it isn't "behind him". I picked up on it. I know a little about when it gets triggered, but not the every day living with the...
I posted this in another site, non PTSD related and was sent here.
OK, I met a guy, who was absolutely wonderful. Sweet, respectful, didn't pressure fore sex. In fact he wanted to wait. After about 2 months I found out about his PTSD. VA diagnosed combat injured vet. He said it was behind him...
