I think that my ex and I have come to a breaking point. I don't know what to do anymore. I had heard he was tellin people that it was over between us yet he had not said anything to him. His mom had talked to him and told her the same thing and said he would contact me. After waiting I decided...

I understand he said that to you but he also needs to show you that. Not talking to you for two weeks is not backing up what he told you before he left. Yes my boyfriend and I are separated right now but he still shows me that he wants me to still be in his life by texting me, sending me...

Other people are not going to understand no matter how much you try to explain it to them, that's why I only have a select few that I can talk to about this because they understand. Not because they know what it's like but because they actually listen when I talk, I can't imagine not speaking...

I have a bunch of other ones too, they really help

It is very hard for them. My boyfriend of six years told me that he wanted to take a break. Not because he doesn't want to be with me but because he told me that he doesn't want to hurt me anymore than he already has with his actions until he gets help. As much as I wanted to kick and scream and...

They aren't going to communicate enough that's the whole thing with this disorder and you can't make them communicate. The more you try and push them to do it the more they are going to retreat from you and make matters worse. I have a verse as a screen saver on my phone so that I can look at...

We agreed on time apart so that he could have some space and clear his head and so that he can start treatment and than we will try again. Some days are great and others not so great. Yesterday we had a great day, I don't know how today will go. Can only take it one day at a time and see where...

Yea I know it is but we agreed on a 3-6 month separation, he hasn't started his treatment yet he starts it at the end of this month

This week has actually been ok. I feel like he is telling me more. He's telling me more about his job and actually sending me pics of what he is working on that day. If I talk to him he'll tell me if he got home from the gym or what he is doing. I'm hoping that this slowly continues to go in the...

It's been five weeks since we've been separated and I've noticed after this past week that he is starting to let me in more. When I text him during the day he will send me a picture of where he is working or he'll tell me where he is. He sent me a pic the other day of something that he was...

@CzechTexan26 ever since my boyfriend and I separation I've been doing ALOT of research on PTSD and it has been so helpful to understand what they go through. I have bought a couple books on my kindle that I have been reading. One so far has been really helpful it's called, 'when someone you...

Yea you think I'd be used to the military life by now, just sucks. No he is not in any distress so there's no need to call the crisis hotline. I just need to be patient and take one day at a time

Yes I understand the taking a break but sometimes he texts me first too so it's not just me who is always texting him. Luckily I can't see him because we are 1500 miles apart right now.

And that is my biggest flaw, impatience. And I know I need to keep it under control, the separation is just the hardest part. I just want him to get better and get the help that he needs. And I am a little bitter that it is taking this long but I know it is neither in my nor his control and I...

I understand that but I just figured when we decided on taking the break in our relationship that he could just look at me as a friend and just be able to talk to me on that level. I don't expect him to talk about our relationship status or anything like that because I know it's too early. I...

It's not just about his PTSD it's just like everyday talking like texting each other that he can freely talk to everyone else but like pulling teeth trying to talk to me. I don't know if it's because he knows I can see through him if he's pretending to be ok or what but it's just frustrating...

@CzechTexan26 I am going through the same thing with my boyfriend. From what I have read it is normal for them to go not respond. The most I've had my boyfriend not respond to me was two days. Like you asked, what I do when I feel like I may be bothering him or being too much, I will text him in...

It's been almost 5 weeks and I still don't understand and can't wrap my head around why he can talk to everyone else but he can't/won't talk to me. I know they say they push away the person that is closest to them but I still can not understand it and it's hurting so much.

@arfie as you can see yes the hurry up and wait with that he went to the VA in the beginning of April and was told he couldn't get in until the end of May. I am so impatient that it is killing me. Did you have to go through the appointment first for the physical and blood work before they...

See right now we are separated which is what we agreed on while he gets treatment because he said he needs space. But his mom will be going with him to his appointments. His appointment on the 28 is for a full work up and blood work. He is the one who admitted that he needed treatment and took...

No the department of veteran affairs for the military he has combat PTSD

Has anyone gotten treatment from the VA? My boyfriend has his first appointment on the 28th of May for his work up physical and bloodwork and I want to know what the whole process is. He's been waiting since April 10th for this appointment and want to know if once he gets his full physical and...

Anyone that is with a person who suffers from combat PTSD get help from the VA? My boyfriends first appointment is on the 28th and I want to know if anyone has done it and what the process is.

@Justyna I just don't want him to get the impression that because I left that I am giving up on him and on us even though I make sure he knows that and constantly remind him every now and than. I did it because I felt it is what he wanted and what would help him out the most. That is just what I...

Yea we were together for six years and had built a life together so it's really hard. I just pray every night that it all works out in the end.
