Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
Thank you for your advice and support, mnt10barbie. You did not offend me.
I am planning to stick it out because I do love him, but the porn is still a deal-breaker for me.
When I told him I was leaving, he asked me to stay. He didn't want me to leave him. I know he loves me back, and I'm...
Thank you so much for that! I was beginning to feel like nobody understood where I was coming from, and you are right. I shouldn't abandon my convictions.
I would consider our relationship to be a good one no matter how difficult his PTSD makes it at times. I'm not sure if I believe him when...
The bottom line is if she loves you enough, she will try to understand. A good enough woman will learn to live with your PTSD just as you have. She'll have to realize that her relationship with you will never be like any other relationship she's ever been in. All you can do is help her to...
Although it sounds like you are handling the situation well, my advice is to be very careful. Continue to be there to listen to him. It is great that he is opening up to you once in a while. Try not to say anything that will make him upset because once he decides he doesn't want to talk to you...
Screen or not, it is another woman. I do not feel the need to look at other men, and I think he would be equally pissed off to find out that I had been watching porn.
Sex is something that is supposed to be shared between the two of us. Nobody else should be involved.
I plan to give him...
I've been in a relationship with a man who has PTSD for about two years now. We've lived together for about that long too. There are definitely mood swings. There are definitely days when all he wants to do is isolate. In fact, when I first met him all he did was sit as his house with blankets...
I don't think I had discussed my views of it, but he had told me previously that he didn't like to do that kind of stuff. He told me stories about guys that watched it when he was in the army. Of course if you didn't watch it with them, they called you gay.
Honestly, this is the first time...
I think he is annoyed by the amount of confrontation he's been receiving from me. It has come to the point where he says things such as "not this again" or "I thought we moved on".
I guess the other thing that kind of upsets me is not just the fact that he was watching porn, but the fact that he then lied to me about it when I confronted him. Now it has also become a trust issue. If he's lied to me before, who's to say that he won't lie to me again? Did he lie to me...
Thanks for the advice, both of you. It's helping.
I guess that there are some women who dislike porn while there are others that don't mind it. I see it a form of cheating. I also think it degrades women. I've set the boundaries, and I've done everything in my power to prevent it from...
Hi All,
Last October, my boyfriend (who has PTSD) and I decided to get a Netflix Account. My boyfriend stayed at home most of the time while I was at school. I had been having a great semester. I was getting really good grades in my classes, and I thought everything was going pretty good with...
