I know, waiting and longing for it is the hard part.

My next step is self health, with exercise nutrition and doing the things I love, I need to try not obsess about what he is doing because I know he will do things that will be a distraction to him and hurt me. I feel like I'm silently screams to the universe just saying "enough already" I want...

Not at the moment @LisawithPTSD . I don't want to imagine life without him and I hoped my love was strong enough to save him. I know with healing myself that it's a journey that he needs to go on on his own but I just have this sinking feeling because I can't be enough for him. He's numb and...

It has been one of those days hasn't it?I'm still sitting here wishing this was the moment that would make him realise how we are suppose to be together and he would fight for us.....I know it's not how he's wired now, I just feel so defeated!

I just couldn't do it anymore, I had to let my boyfriend go because I'm too weak to deal with the moments of him withdrawn and pushing me away. I love him but I'm just not strong enough.....I'm awful!

I'm on the other side of a similar relationship. I believe you will succeed just by what you've said already.

Well here I sit, home alone while he is out with friends. I feel like I'm screaming but nothing is coming out. It's so not fair for me to be here loving him and giving all of me while there are moments like this where it's like I don't even exist. I think I need out but can't because I love him...

I know how you feel, I am so use to rejection and expecting it is a known thing where giving in to believing in happiness is an unknown. I am programmed to know the hard side.....some how I think that is what I deserve and thinking he will leave me anyways so push him till he does.....yearning...

We are fairly new in this relationship and as feelings started to deepen then he started to drift, especially after weekends together or really intense nights together. I know now that he is scared to have me see the darker parts of himself and when he drifts its because he is hiding that part...

Advice please? My BF who is a sufferer has pulled away the past 2 weeks and now is coming back and we are starting again. I need the best advice to know how to handle it from here, I am happy but don't want to smother him......

Wow it's so great reading all of this, the "run and push away" has been so hard. Questioning myself all the time wondering what it wrong with me and struggling for him to see how much I love him. We have these moments of pure bliss and now I know I can expect him to be withdrawn for a few days...

I have suffered abuse in my life and today I realized that not only am I on this site to help my boyfriend who is a PTSD sufferer but I am also here for support for myself, I have discounted the severity of my wounds because its been a long and on going road but to all of you I say THANK YOU!!

Its because the abuse is what you know and you are needing comfort and comfort came in attention either good or bad. My restraining order of a year just came up a week ago and I know how the hooks your ex has over you is trying to suck you back in. For me I did find that you do need to cry, you...

justmehere.....I think he's hiding this side from me, he's been judged by so many women and I think he thinks I'll be the same. How do I get him to see that I love all of him.....the good (oh which he has so much of he is amazing to me!), the bad and the ugly?

He is so wonderful and I am really proud of all that he has accomplished but I think our relationship is so new that he hides all his demons from me and only shows me the good parts of himself. When we started dating we talk a lot and did many fun things together and lately he has changed his...

I need to know more inside the mind of PTSD. Being on the other side is hard......not nearly as hard as to what you guys go through but there are days I feel like I'm jumping up and down screaming and he doesn't even see me!

Jess, I know exactly how you feel. This issue ends up being within ourselves.....deep down we just don't feel worthy and people in our lives that are nice to people who have wronged us inn some ways hits us to the core.

Thank you so much open eyes, it's really great being here and I really appreciate all the insight. Don't give me credit I love him and I want to understand him and how he is so that it's easier on me and I don't have my mind wonder as to what is going through his mind. Do you guys get to...

He's at the point where now he says he's basically cured and it doesn't really affect him anymore but he has sleepless nights and goes into moments where he is really withdrawn, is this normal? How do you guys see emotions in relationships?

Hello everyone, I have found this site after some research and I am hoping for some advice? I have started a relationship with a wonderful man who has PTSD. We have now been seeing each other for 3 months and I have fallen head over heels for him....I now understand more of why he is the way he...
