Violet Butterfly grateful to find your post! @ nursenurse it’s been 7 years since I was on the forum! In 2013 I was in a horrible relationship with an Army man/PTSD and you advised me to leave.. he was mentally abusive/liar. Long story short I ended that relationship in 2015 and got my line...

Sweetpea76 I'm no longer with my man who suffers with PTSD---but I admired his spirit, his humor, and beautiful smile.

Hello All, @ Philippa--I was in a relationship (recently ended 2 weeks ago) with a man with PTSD. I loved this man dearly because I wanted to--no pity involved. I saw a wonderful, strong, vibrant, handsome man. He could not see this and it just baffled me! Six months into our relationship he...

@ nursenurse--- you go girl!!!! Totally agree with you. Nikki

Hi Danni, Welcome to the forum. I'm not an expert/doctor on this manner but I'm wondering if this stress stems from the trauma during/after the delivery of your child and you being hospitalized? From what I've learned/reading information from the forums, PTSD can occur from a traumatic life...

Girlfriend Run!!! I totally agree with everyone 's post on this thread. His behavior is rude and disrespectful and you do not have to put up with that type of behavior. You deserve better. Nikki

Mrod, Good for you in keeping a calm composure! I advise you to not mentally wreck yourself in trying to understand his actions.
