I agree, especially 99 Phoenix's post on page 1. I stop by and read it frequently when my guy disappears, such as now. It's such an honest and incisive post.

This is very interesting and informative to read. I come here fairly often, to this forum, and it quite literally keeps me sane sometimes. The hardest thing, for me, is understanding and remembering that it isn't me, it's the ptsd. It doesn't seem to matter how many times he suddenly isolates...

Sorry to only be responding to this now. He has never had any form of treatment whatsoever, and his trauma was over 20 years ago. I think, during the 1980s when it occurred, it just wasn't as commonplace as it is today and so was never suggested to him, and also he comes from a family with 5...

Hi there, First off, thanks so much for all the replies. Bewitched - I feel for you. 3 months is a long time. It's basically an 'it's over' amount of time, but without any closure. I know just how you feel. If yours is anything like mine (of course, everyone is different), he probably just...

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. We're both a bit 'past it' to be thinking of having kids to be honest! As for building a home together, no, sadly I can't see that ever happening. He is obsessive about having his own space and needs constant time alone. I spent a long time dreaming...

Hi everyone, This is all pretty new to me and I'm so happy I came across this place. Reading through some of the threads of here has had me almost punching the air recognising the similarities in the situations people are in to how things are with me / us at the moment. Although I've been in a...
