Things were off for about a month, but they're on again. I was putting a lot of pressure on him and being pushy due to my own breakdown. That scared him off and he ended after almost a month of avoidance. But since I've figured out my issue (hormonal birth control), I'm back to my normal self...

Ok, so things have been well with my guy. Sleepovers, taking myself and my kids for dinner etc. More talking and more time spent together. Valentine's day was a crap shoot. He made me plans or effort, I was upset and made it known. He wouldn't acknowledge me. Then it happened... I broke down. I...

It's more a country song type loss, but being retired military, I imagine these events just contributed to something already going on. He has never discussed anything combat related of his military service, which makes sense. Not sure why I never put that together.

I do know about the stress cup, and have done lots of research. I realize that when he's isolating he doesn't want to talk or spend time with me, which I'm accepting and understanding of. It's helping him with his fear of failure that is what's behind not spending time together. He's not...

So I'm not 100% sure what caused my guys PTSD but I believe it's from a serious of events that happened 5 years ago, including losing his career/fiancé/home all within a short period of time. Things with us have been... Odd lately. Not much communication, no alone time. I've told him that I...

Thank you wastinglight! I'm still trying to figure all of this out, but I'm definitely trying to do the best I can to help. I ended up sending him an email the night before last. I addressed some of the issues at work (we work together) and gave him some praise that was definitely well earned...

Your sufferer is having a hard time? My guy has somewhat came out of his bubble. We spent the evening with my family a few days ago, and he stopped by for a couple of hours after work last night, which is good! But it's obvious he's still feeling quite stressed and agitated. Not with me, but...

Yes, he has PTSD. He is in counselling and on medication. Sorry, I should have said in my original post that this is a fairly new relationship. I suppose I'm worried about things actually developing into something serious. Right now we're taking it slow, as that's what he needs.

I'm a supporter, not sure if it's ok for me to post here. If not, I apologize. My sufferer has anhedonia, and while he's tried to explain it to me I'm not 100% I understand. He used the example of when we're intimate. I feel butterflies etc, and he doesn't. He said he knows he enjoys what's...

PTSD... We have a sku at work that we commonly use ending PSTD, I keep typing the wrong thing! Lol

Wow! Thank you so much for all the amazing replies! I'm definitely the type of person that needs interaction. He just let me know that we won't be spending New Years eve together (not PSTD related) and I'm quite upset. This is the third cancellation in 2 weeks, and we haven't spent actual...

Thank you for the reply! We have talked about my needs vs his. I've explained how it makes me feel, and that when he needs time out a quick text telling me would make a world of difference. His response was that he knows he should be putting me first, but it's not always possible, that when the...

Hey all! I've recently started dating a man who has PSTD. Things have been slightly rocky between us lately as his cup has been majorly overflowing. I could see that he was doing better when things first started between us (we work together, so I knew of his struggles with stress before we...
