    General My husband doesn't remember

    He has severe PTSD. He's a disabled vet from Iraq. And he's always been up and down and all over the place way before me. He's always gotten so into stuff he gets obsessed. Like the best example I can give is tv shows. He watched sons of anarchy and thats when the vest thing started. He started...

    he is actually being very supportive its just some days are bad days. And sometimes he forgets I'm not wonderwoman. After his total flip out last month I now am a shaking nervous mess or panic and depression. He is helping me through it and kind of realizes he is to blame for most of it but...

    Relationship Another Day... *sigh*

    I tried that... He got peed that I was treating him like a baby and controlling his life... I might point out he spent every penny he owns in for days and hasn't done a thing since we broke up.. But If I do stuff he gets mad... Then gets mad if I don't. Today he was angry again. Wouldn't even...

    Relationship Another Day... *sigh*

    Up and down and angry and everything's my fault and he needs space but won't take it then flips out on me and all this is apparently just our breakup and no PTSD or depression. He just got in the truck. Asked him where he's off to, he doesn't know. OK. Totally absolutely my fault. Told him a...

    Relationship Emotional Shutdown???

    So after a ridiculously stressful month we finally got home and my fiance decided to go from blissfully happy to breaking up with me because he didn't love me... after a week he finally admitted that he is angry and numb and doesn't really feel anything for anything not just me. I was a major...

    General Course of action when ptsd flares up???

    I'm trying but I think I am stressing him out a bit. This over the topness is very new in our relationship and I was fairly sure it was me... I still dont know. maybe it is me, but he's all over the place... He seems so unhappy all of a sudden and all of our connection since his uncle died has...

    General Course of action when ptsd flares up???

    Thanks, he does ask for space sometimes and now that we are home he gets it but the mood swings don't seem to be related to the need for space. He is 100% permanently disabled from ptsd and knows that he has a problem but right now he seems adamant that nothing is going on... its slightly...

    General Course of action when ptsd flares up???

    I've posted recently about the massive amount of stress my PTSD vet fiance has been under and that he has been on and off with me. Now we are home the symptoms are more defined and it is very very clear I'm not the problem. However no one but me is with him long enough to notice the massive...

    Relationship Ptsd As An Excuse?

    Is it common for military vets to continue with a military perspective or is that something else? That's the one thing I assumed was PTSD although I haven't actually heard of it...

    Relationship Ptsd As An Excuse?

    Well he's 100% disabled now with a permanent rating and listed as unemployable so not an issue anymore. But he'd get angry very easily and feel disrespected. In manual labor you get a lot of disrespect and it gets him angry. So he feels like he is doing his bosses a favour by addressing...

    Relationship "flakiness"

    If he's promised something then I will call him out in it. Other times though I have always known he's terrible at plans and time keeping and anything organizational. And sometimes when he doesn't wanna be around people its best he doesn't go out because he'll at best be a complete ass to everybody.

    Relationship Ptsd As An Excuse?

    He's told me stories that in his mind make complete sense and he is in the right of basically him just flipping out over very small things with coworkers. Since his uncle died he is doing it with me and he genuinely doesn't realize its a total over reaction. Also he has an aggressive mannerism...

    Relationship Ptsd As An Excuse?

    I'm learning not to be so skeptical.. Honestly I thought Stevens PTSD was exaggerated first time I met him. He blamed PTSD for losing jobs and not trying very hard and I pretty much assumed it was an excuse. 6 months later his PTSD symptoms start flaring up and almost everything he told me was...

    Supporter Advise For Dating A Man With Ptsd

    Hey I am engaged to a PTSD vet and I'm learning from this site that a lot of what I thought was just him is actually symptoms. He lost his uncle a week ago and has watched him pass away for the last month and is currently going off the rails a little. PM if you like. I'm finding that a lot of...

    Relationship Is constantly breaking up normal? what should i do?

    Yeah I usually try to say to him but its hard. He just flipped from great mood to pissy one because I put my phone in the seat pocket on the greyhound. Got really annoyed then was adamant it was not him. He's a living nightmare when he's like this. Mostly he's been like this for almost a month...

    Relationship Is constantly breaking up normal? what should i do?

    I'm trying to hear all that stuff its just emotionally draining. He is acting kind of crazy since his uncle passed and I can't even talk to him about it because he'll flip out at me and then be mean for a few hours after that. If if ask him to stop being nasty I'm being needy. Two days ago he...

    Relationship Is constantly breaking up normal? what should i do?

    Thank you for that both. I needed it this morning. He woke up in a great mood then disappeared into his phone and now will barely look at me.. And then having to ask for a hug last night like I'm hideous or something. Still trying to find out in my head what I did to make him hate me this much...

    Relationship Is constantly breaking up normal? what should i do?

    Thank you very much for your patience with me. Its difficult in a new relationship to gauge how much of my honeys difficulty is him being difficult and how much is PTSD. He has a very severe psych evaluation which I read and assumed was exaggerated..
