Well my situation has not gotten any better, so I have decided to just give him space. I am due with his child in 2 1/2 mths. and it is now at the point to where he sleeps downstairs does not talk to me, nothing.. Me being pregnant I just cant do this right now.. I am a emotional wreck! I talked...
Thank you all for your responses.. It made me look at things a lot..
Well.. Last night he came up from down stairs at about 1030pm and laid down on the couch to go to sleep. He didn't say anything I walked out of the bedroom he didn't say anything to me while I grabbed a glass of water. So I...
No I have never went down there and just sat next to him, he wears a head set and talks to people, plus if I ask him something he's short and doesn't even turn his head to look at me.. I seriously feel like I could come and go as I please and not say a word and he wouldn't care. I text him "...

He says he plays video games on his days off cause he wants to relax.. In my mind ok.. I understand that, but why cant you compromise.. But at that point, I feel like I'm begging him if I ask.. I just don't know why I would have to ask for him to just take a little out of the...
Yes he has PTSD.. Hes told me in the past that he was not sure if he wanted to be with me anymore.. and that he is emotionally numb.. But he literally will sit down there and play xbox all day from the time he gets up until the time he goes to bed, laughing and talking to his friends on xbox...
Ok.. So I am having a hard time understanding something...
My bf of 7 years plays video games all the time, like take today for example.
He has literally been down stairs since 8am this morning and he has come up to refill his cup of coffee a few times, and grab him something for lunch. I...
Hi Snowflakes
Thank You for sharing your story!!
I'm trying my very best, its getting easier.. The more I learn, talk to you guys and go to my own therapy sessions.
I just hope and pray he starts feeling better, and wants this family again.
I want to just give him a big hug and kiss and I cant...
Hi LoveMyNavyChief!
I'm doing alright.. Just taking one day at a time.
He actually talked to me today for like 20 minutes I was very surprised!!! He was talking to me about his therapy appt he had last Friday.. and once he started talking I just sat there and listened and he just kept going...
It was hard to read that message but it does make sense.
I have so many things going on in my head right now... He bought a house this past October and then I found out I was pregnant in November. But I have had to do a lot of things to actually move to this location.. My son was going to school...
I see what your saying, although it started 6months ago and it has just gotten worse.. I feel like were growing apart rather than closer together already.. Or is this feeling normal? I don't want to lose him completely... I have kept my 9 yr old and myself as busy as we can to give time a...
Ok so.. my dear bf of 7 yrs just had his first therapy appointment at the VA this past Friday. His didn't say anything to me about it, although I did ask him if it went ok and all he said was... it was alright.
He didn't even look at me when he said it either so I took that as he didn't want to...
Never_falter
He plays shooter games on Xbox One live with other people, not sure exactly which shooter games.. But I know every time I pass him down stairs he has a head set on talking to people and he's shooting.
Or if I come home on lunch from work and I notice his phone is on the charger on the counter didn't pick it up just saw it there while I was making my lunch.. its either flipped over so the screen is no longer face up or its back in his pocket within 5 mins.. It drives me crazy!! Cause I just...
Ok.. So my dear bf of 7 years is going through a hard time with his ptsd, and he starts therapy for the first time this Friday. But I do have a question...
He takes his phone everywhere with him, in his pocket.. It doesn't matter where he goes.. to the bathroom its with him, down stairs to play...
Ok so I'm due with our child in July, his 1st child.. I just wanted to ask..
Do men that have ptsd experience some joy and happiness when seeing your child being born and holding them for the first time? He says he is excited..
Thank you, it helps getting on here and getting feed back and going to therapy myself.
But it certainly is not easy having a child that doesn't understand and trying to keep him busy and being pregnant, but I keep thinking positive and having faith..
Hmm.. ok then I wont ask him right now, its just hard with a 9 yr old that wants some kind of interaction with him. I can handle it better than my 9 yr old does. So I just thought maybe just asking for eating a the dinner table and maybe one game night wouldn't be that big of a request. But I...
He told me 2 days ago that he feels pressured, in which I apologized to him cause I never want him to feel that way. So I took a step back and I have not talked about family, relationship, nothing.. Just walked around just doing my own thing while he was down stairs playing video games.
Ok so I went to my first therapy appointment for myself and she gave me some good advice..
She told me my son and myself should go back home and just give him space while we are all in the same home. She said to focus on just being myself and keep busy doing stuff with my son etc... I came home...
Oh my goodness, you all are so great!! Thank you so much!! I wish I would have found this site a long time ago.. gizmo you made me cry too!! hahaha but in a good way!! I cant thank you all enough for all this wonderful feed back I really really appreciate it and I needed this!! I wish I could...
Oh my goodness thank you so much for that post!! You really made me feel so much better!! It made me cry but I needed to read that.. I needed to know I was doing a good job and taking the right steps..
Thank you everyone for all your posts you all are great!!!

My son and I were at home on Thursday night and I cooked a big meal we all sat down and ate etc.. it was nice. He didn't seem stressed or anything.. Friday night we sat down and talked, he had told me that "all the arguments in the past" he had just hit his breaking point.. But honestly...
He didn't ask me to move out, and I didn't move out I just took some clothes for me and my son.. Just staying with family. I have been very open and honest with him. I have told him I was not moving out I was just giving him a little time to think. I have stressed my love for him and that I am...

Thank You for you response!!
Should I text or call him once a week or couple times a week? I just want to do the right thing that's all to make this better. This is just still so hard for me.. Its going to be hard for my 9 year old son too! I mean what do I say... I want to be honest with...
Hello!
This going to be a little long..
So me and my dear boyfriend have been together for 7 years, I have a son that is 9yrs old from a previous relationship.
When we first started dating my bf told me he had ptsd but he had not gone for treatment or therapy yet at that point.
Everything was so...
