Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it.

@Healing Reins I think self sabotaging can come from many things most of all being fear and not knowing how to cope. I've done it. So I get that. Is that what happens with you and can you share any coping skills you've learned?

Hi @Iworry4him, I truly understand your situation. I've been going thru the same thing for just about a year and a half now. It's hard I know. I've shed tears myself all while reading and trying to understand. It's the push and pull when things tend to get to close or even resembles a...

Thank you guys.. I have an appointment with a life coach/therapist next week and I started putting some distance between me and my partner. I just want a break and for her to wake up.

I woke up this morning not quite myself. For the past few weeks I haven't been myself. I have been sticking by the side of someone who refuses to get help with PTSD. I have become a little withdrawn, irritable, and emotionally numb. Has anyone experienced anything like this. I am usually a...

@Want to help I agree with Justmehere. I've come to realize that my own emotional and mental health is just important as the sufferer I'm supporting. Educating yourself, getting to know others that are going through similar situations, venting, and for myself I'm looking forward to seeing a life...

I'm angry because: You say you love me You have no problems walking away You won't get help You never feel remorse You don't care that because you suffer, I suffer You don't realize this is destroying us I love you:cry:

Hi.. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Debbie.

How do I show support without enabling?

Thanks Solara, That's exactly how I feel. I think our last argument was it for me. I love her and want the best for her. I truly am starting to think I've become an enabler and I want and need to correct my own behaviour.

I've been able to deal with them in other relationships. I never had to deal with them to this extent. I really understand how you feel our whole relationship has been off and on. At this point I'm numb to the making up to break up again.

Thank you for the info.

I need help in dealing with these petty arguments. I would really like to move forward with our relationship.

@Justmehere @24paws We're in Wisconsin. I'll definitely look into it.

She is an army vet. Therapy is available however she's tried talk therapy before but she said that it didn't help. She has many of the symptoms I've read about especially the avoidance symptoms.

I'm in the U.S. she doesn't believe support groups will help and definitely not meds. Yep.. Eggshells that's the way it feels.

Thanks... She's against therapy. I offered to attend with her. I want to be by her side.

Thanks for the welcome to the group.

No she's not in trauma therapy. She complains a lot and according to her our disagreements are always my fault and they are petty to her however she is the one that continue to argue. As far as the not doing enough goes... I just don't love her the way she needs to be loved. We have been off and...

Hi my name is Trice and my partner has PTSD. We've been dating for about 2 years and I am at my wits end. I absolutely adore her however I am clueless on dealing with the issues. She never wants to talk about the diagnosis. I can never do enough to make her feel loved, wanted, nor validated. I...
