If anyone calls themselves a Christian but you see just the opposite and actually have to question their profession of Faith, Run! I am not here to judge others....but Christianity should be a transformation on many levels and their actions show without making an announcement to others.

If he uses a biblical approach. Two shall become One. It is a covenant that is an equal. If he thinks outside the box...it would be his view and definition that would work for his satisfaction. Just saying.

I find myself over analyzing my relationship and feelings as a supporter. I ended up making our situation much worse by having my insecurities and anxiety show when it was not necessary. I think if you focus on your self first...the hubby will see your behavior pattern change and may conform...

I found this article on www.comicbook.com and thought I would share this with those who like comics and can relate with the Wounded Warrior Project. http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/05/11/think-tank-fun-with-ptsd-one-shot-will-benefit-the-wounded-warrior-project/

I have a wife who wanted to get a divorce and filed the papers a few months ago. The only happiness I had was in my devotions and reading the Bible while I was getting shut out from my wife. Just last week my wife came around and is no longer showing signs of grieving or depression. It was...

I almost forgot to share that the reason why I shared my story is to tell everyone to not give up. I had felt for sure I was going to get divorce and our family would all be broken. I know each persons situation is unique and we live in a broken world. There is HOPE!

If this comment can help I would like to share this with you. On 4/5 my wife called me at a local gas station and asked me to go for a ride. She wanted to pursue the divorce which has been delayed. I went for a ride and got an ear full about how I was wrong and was blamed for many situations...

This past Saturday I was asked to go for a ride with my wife and discuss our future together. She wanted to go through with the divorce. I was able to share with her how much I still loved her, I explained how I felt about our situation and our marriage is worth saving....many reasons not to get...

You are not alone in this area. You may see others with similar symptoms and emotional fatigue as a supporter. I had a wife who refused to get help or a diagnosis. It was 5 months of unpredictable hell for me. I found out this past weekend that she was just grieving and hurting those around her...

Very interesting. Does the sufferer know the difference between reality and fantasy. I love and play Minecraft also but if your affection and love is strictly based on gaming, are you wanting more in your relationship which would require human interaction. I love to escape at times for...

I can understand the basics between the introvert vs. extrovert qualities. When you look at a place like Wikipedia and look up introvert, then look up dissociation....there are similar traits of aloneness periods and quiet times. What about the lack of communication, anger, control, detached...

Do you really think she knows what she really wants. You may be the only strong unchanged thing in her life. That may be why she is holding onto you with an occasional text. She is testing her own trust by trying to do it on her own, then contacting you when she feels less than confident. That...

Get angry....don't give up. Never Give Up. @Chloekim allow this thread be a place to leave your anger and worries behind. Refocus and keep up looking up. You are not alone during the dark times.

@Echo & @Solara - thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and opinions with me. I have been on these forums 8 hours a day for months and I am starting to better understand more each day. You both a special way of delivering your ideas and suggestions in a way that at time is easy to...

I had called "our" cancer social worker who had cancer before and is familiar with post cancer trauma. I went to her about some concerns I had. Even know I am still married and I was asking questions, the social worker was not really able to help me because of confidentiality issues. I respected...

Introvert - is it a trait you are born with or can you become one? My wife was so out going prior to events that happened last year. So I see a change that happened almost over night.

Thank You for the website suggestion and the traumatic grief. I will see if I can speak with a counselor who has experience in PTSD. They might be able to help me overcome some of the issues I have been having to deal with. I hope it is not ptsd.

A few months ago there was the sleepless nights, nightmare, hypervigilance, mood swings, the constant blaming of the past, dissociation, trauma of the cancer, low-self esteem, always sensing a threat, sitting in the corner back to the wall, lack of memory about actual events things like this...

She has not been diagnosed and she will not seek a diagnosis. I had tried to gently offer help...but that seems to trigger anger and then she "shuts me out" and just exists in her own world. It has been happening for the past 5 months.

Yes, in the past year of 2013, my wife had to deal with breast cancer at the age of 40. We also had 3 deaths on her side of the family including her father who she was close to. She was not able to mourn while going through chemo and radiation therapy until she finished. Add menopause into the mix.

I need to fix my spelling error in the title

I am a supporter of a wife who denies she has ptsd, nor wants to get help. She feels that she is more of an introvert now. I am really looking for a comparison and a breakdown between them both. Any help will be appreciated. Example: my wife will not talk to me, locks her door when she sleeps...

Yes, my own opinion. I also feel that I am being tested all the time. I see my wife is looking for mistake on my facebook and she writes down things that I have done in the past and she uses it in the "present" which triggers more anger. Keep your chin up....it is not you.

Control seems to be out of control rigth now. Thank You @Al_Lurker for sharing your insight.

I am at work and on the phone while reading your post at the same time. As you can see I need to work on multi-tasking. I re-read your post just to make sure I was not losing my mind.
