Hiya, Sweetpea! You and the family doing well? This has indeed been a learning experience. Lol I guess perhaps there is no cookie cutter answer. He'll write when he can and that is determind by a whole lot of circumstances. Interestingly, the hardest part has been discovering some new...

Thank you, Dulcia! I guess we both have a type, huh? LOL That sounds perfectly logical and confirms what I had already been thinking. That's great! Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to him being sent back to Afghanistan, I will gladly take a hurricane detail!;) Honestly, no, we (he) hasn't...

Some of these are not necessarily PTSD, but certainly desperation or loss of hope; what I see from the outside looking in. Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side Of Heaven The Revivalists - Gold To Glass Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails) - Hurt Black Lab - This Night Logic - 1-800-273-8255 Fleurie -...

Hello to all the familiar faces! Long time, no see. I hope everyone is doing well.:cool: Despite my best efforts, I have managed to snag myself another soldier after the devastating crash and burn with the ex-BF. It's the uniform...I am powerless to resist!;) New BF is in the Reserves and I am...

Yes, and the home visits really get me too. I know some people are not very bright, but surely most of us have a pretty good grasp on what to do and not to do. I think the issue with people who don't take care of their animals is more that they don't care rather than ignorance. If you care, then...

I agree with just about everything you said.;) Don't worry, he'd stay with me if I felt the shelter was shady or the guy was dishonest, but I do know him a bit through work and he has nothing to gain by volunteering false information. I'm so sorry about your rabbits. That would be beyond...

Last chance for any takers. He's not so calm anymore, now he's a regular energetic kitten who goes tearing around the house and pounces on the other unsuspecting cats. :joyful: I just called my local animal shelter, which is a kill shelter and I was very worried, but I talked to the man in...

I will be very careful @lostforgottensoul That is atrocious!

Found this adorable little guy at work a week ago. He's probably only 4 months old, weights a pound or so, and seems to be in really good condition. He had quite the flea infestation which I think is gone now. He's a big time snuggler, likes cats (unfortunately mine don't feel the same about...

Hope things are going better, Sweetpea, and that you were able to take that weekend away.

Sorry to hear that news, Sighs, just saw this - you know why I haven't been around here much. But I LOVE that he came in person to see you and brought flowers! I bet that made you feel soooooooo good!!!! Hope things have been going well for you since these events.:hug:

Tater "warned" me very soon after we met that he had PTSD. We were an ocean apart and had only emailed a handful of times when he told me. I don't have the letter anymore as it was actually written through E-Bay, but I do recall that he either specifically said or I inferred that it would not...

I appreciate the input Casey. You're not wrong, there is a lot of things in the mix here. When I said I was "pretty good," that doesn't mean I'm over him or even happy, it just means the world hasn't stopped spinning and I'm not crying my eyes out anymore every time I think of this subject...

I'm still doing pretty good with the realization that Tater and I aren't together anymore (as much as one can be together long distance in this situation) and never will be. But now I'm starting to crack waiting to hear back from him about our friendship. I shouldn't because we've been taking...

Sorry Munchkin.:hug: Hope he's been able to settle down a little bit by now.

I have given us both a few days to chill and sent him a message Sunday night telling him that I was okay, that it was good this came up again since it is clearly still bothering him, and asking if he felt he was in a good space to listen and have a conversation. I do tend to get long winded...

Thanks @mr_smith_v2 , looks like I'm a free agent now. Amazing how 2 weeks can change things. Now, I just want to keep my bestie around.

Thank you everyone! I've done a lot of thinking and started to type out my reply to Tater. Getting everything out of my head has helped to calm me down tremendously. I don't like that this happened, but I almost kinda think it was a good thing. I was in such limbo about if we were friends or...

I didn't read everything you wrote, came onto the board today for my own thread, but your title caught my attention. It's nice that you at least know his definition for breaking up. Figuring out exactly what my sufferer means in certain situation is often key for knowing what steps to take...

Glad to hear it.

I'm sorry top hear about this, Sweetpea. I know this was a month ago, but I wanted to share my sympathies anyway. Is he doing better yet?

I've heard barely a peep from Tater in the 2 weeks since we Skyped and I brought up the vacation ideas. He had seemed mostly okay with it then, but I knew he'd need time to process and think. Well, yesterday when I wrote I asked if he was okay and if it was me because I could feel the silence...

Yeah, @Junebug , actually most of what I said was an oxymoron.:rolleyes: LOL I said PTSD and all that comes with it wasn't a deal breaker...and then complained about some of the parts that come with it. But I know the people on this site can still understand those incongruous bits.;) It is...

I had a big long reply written out, but it all basically comes down to this: PTSD and all that comes with it is not a deal breaker, not by a long shot. I can be very patient if there is a steady progression in the relationship, even if it is really slow comparatively, as long as there is...

Tater told me about a song yesterday, now I'm trying to figure out if he's speaking to me through the song or if he simply likes it and wanted to share. I don't want to read too much into things. He was talking about Sara Bareilles and how he's always liked her music, has an incredible voice...
