I can totally relate to this...when my anxiety gets really bad I do the same thing. At the same time I don't completely disappear mine is more of "mentally checking out". Having you state it like that makes me feel more compassionate towards him....after all there is something about him that...

I do realize that this is a coping mechanism as I use it myself...but only for a few days and I am back on the wagon. We aren't currently together so breaking up with him isn't an option. I am more or less just looking for individuals who have experienced similar situations and how they reacted.

What stands out to me, is that you already refer to him as an ex partner. So you just want to try to understand him better, or are you thinking about getting back together? Hi Lovak, I do consider him my ex partner for the simple fact that he just disappeared for three months...no...

My Ex suffers from extreme PTSD and disappears. Yesterday, he made his return after three months of just disappearing and I feel like he expects things to be like they were. I need advice…advice from someone who suffers and someone who is a significant other. He told me that he was extremely...

Good Morning! @Freida What is the longest you have ever isolated for (sorry if you have already answered this previously)? What where you worried about upon your "return"? When you isolated did you miss the other person?

@EveHarrington Thank you for your words! I am not OK with 12 days of no contact and don't think I ever will be. I have used those 12 days to think about what is best for both of us. I continue to work on "myself" and move forward. At this point...what would I say upon his return? What could he...

@Skywatcher the disappearing is extremely difficult. Right now on day 12 of no contact. I sent him a simple message saying "thinking of you" around day three of not hearing from him. That same night he deleted all social media and has been silent. Apart of me wants to just know that he is ok. I...

I am extremely confused by your words. Did you read my original post at ALL? I am actually looking for advice on how to support him. I was also looking for advice from some one who suffers...as they may be able to give me some great insight.

I am actually really confused by the statement above too! I feel like Eve didn't read my post AT ALL! I simply explained the situation and then asked if this was normal? I asked for advice on how to deal with the situation. :eek: I am not a judgemental person and never will be-with that being...

I respectfully disagree with your statement. I do not see his struggles as playing games at this point. I have been in a relationship with a narcissist (about a year ago) and he would purposely break plans and not think a damn thing about it. SO, yes, I am guarded and sometimes thoughts do slip...

Scarface, Thank you for reaching out to me-it feels good to hear from someone on the other end. The first time he disappeared on me I won't lie...I was hurt and angry. I myself, have suffered with issues of abandonment and some PTSD due to childhood issued. Him just disappearing brought me...

The last two months of my life have been filled with nothing but joy, confusion, and sadness. Our story is sort of unique in the fact that we met at a dunkin donuts one Friday morning. Both of us have children and oddly enough our daughters are friends. He found me on Facebook...which is odd in...
