Hi everyone. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here. A little update: my boyfriend will be undergoing exposure therapy and he is not looking forward to it. In addition, he warned me that the next twelve weeks are going to be exceptionally difficult. He was in the Marines and have been...

Hi, everyone. So, I just realized how bad my boyfriend is struggling. This past week, he was drinking excessively to a point where he snapped at his roommate. Needless to say, the roommate kept prying and digging but anyway... His bro said that my boyfriend’s an alcoholic, suicidal, and...

So, this will be my last post. My boyfriend just broke up with me. He said that his doctor said this will break relationships and so he decided to just end things before it got worse. I'm just so lost. I can't stop crying.

Hi, all. I recently found out that my boyfriend just started therapy after almost 10 years of suppressed memories (he had gone overseas twice, back to back). For supporters, how do you help (if possible)? What are ways that you do to support those who are suffering? I don’t live with my...

So, in my previous threads, my boyfriend has isolated himself and it only got worse after his appointment with the VA. This past weekend, he had texted me once a day and for that I was grateful. Today, it was a bad day for me (hormones and Mother Nature was the reason). I went to the beach...

Hi, all. My boyfriend was in the military and had done two tours. We haven't had much contact in a couple of days and I know that usually means I need to give him his space. Today, however, he told me that he "had a bad meeting." He had an appointment today with the VA. I'm not sure what that...

I have posted quite a few times already. It’s always the same thing: my boyfriend, I’m assuming is in a rut. He’s not responding to my messages and he’s simply just reading them. He has gone overseas twice. I know that PTSD is something that is not controllable, but what throws me off is that...

My boyfriend hasn’t replied to any of my messages and I’m only assuming that something is wrong and he’s isolating. But he replied to my other friend and I guess I’m taking it personal. I just feel so in the dark.

Hello everyone. Just a little background. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now and we've had a few ups and downs since getting together. He was in the Marines for about five years and had gone overseas twice. He's gotten better at accepting that he's got PTSD, but I still...

Hi, guys. My boyfriend has been in isolation for a week now. He's a former Marine who has done two tours. He says he's not a fan of this time of year, and I told him that I will never pressure him into doing something he doesn't want to do. I've been sending him messages throughout the day...

Hi, everyone. I’ve posted quite a few times before, but just a refresher... My boyfriend is a former Marine who did two tours. He tends to isolate himself and I have learned to give him the space that he needs. I’m doing a lot better than I was before, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t get...

Hi, guys. My boyfriend and I reached our one year yesterday. We had everything planned for what to do yesterday and the weekend following. I had an inkling that something was wrong and indeed, he told me he wasn’t feeling well and that he was sorry for doing this on our anniversary. I have a...

My boyfriend and I haven't talked since Tuesday night. I had a feeling something was wrong, but he reassured me that night that he was all right. I know one has no control over PTSD and what happens, but he usually tells me that "hey, I'm not okay" and that's my cue to give him his space. I...

Hi, everyone. I figured I would gain some insight as to how some of you deal with certain situations. I don't have many friends who can relate to the relationship I currently have with my boyfriend and in the past, many of you have shed some light and provided support for me when I needed it...

Hi, everyone. So, I’ve had previous threads here before and it helped me a great deal. And yet again, I need some help and reassurance. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year. He is a former Marine who had done two tours overseas. He has had flashbacks where he isolates...

Hi. So, my boyfriend just told me that a Marine he trained had died and he shut down on me. I expected that he would shut me out, but he mentioned that he felt like a failure and that he's just really tired... He mentioned this about two weeks ago as well. I tried to make him feel better by...

Hi everyone! This past Saturday was a great day for me and my boyfriend. We spent the day with my family and he was bonding so much with them. Then, came the alcohol. It was a good buzz. We went back to my place and that’s when he finally admitted what was on his mind. He’s turning 29 soon...

Hey. My boyfriend is a former Marine who had a flashback a couple of days ago and had been distancing himself from me. I'm starting to understand that he needs his space and so I give it to him to allow him to deal with it on his own. Today, I decided to send him a message to remind him that...

Hi, guys. So, my boyfriend and I are nearing one year of our relationship. He's a former Marine who did two tours in Afghanistan. He tends to distance himself from me whenever he has a flashback, and the past few days have been very tough. I know he struggles with it, but he never allows me to...

Hi, everyone. So, I’ve done a lot of researching, but I figured I would get a better answer (reassurance, mainly) if I were to directly ask for advice. I’ve been with my boyfriend for six months now and it’s been amazing. He used to be in the military (Marine Corps) and have been deployed...
