Are you saying when he is not symptomatic he can't support you? Glad you laughed. Sorry that your partner doesn't support you when he is not symptomatic.

I have a lot of confidence and support for my partner that he can get through any issue with everyone's support, not just mine. I am no fool to think that when he gets through an issue this time, that it won't happen again (whatever the issue). FYI he does have similar feelings as you do, to...

Interesting. Lucky for you I am not in a relationship with you then! ;-) Part of my reason for joining this forum was to understand more, because I have that willingness and want to learn more to support my partner more. I am pretty sure that people suffering from PTSD are very capable of...

I was asking, in general - my posts are not directed solely at you or in response to anything I am going through with my partner. Thank you for your honesty and insights. I am not sure where you get the idea that I am placing all the work on him in our relationship? It's quite interesting you...

No, that is not what I am saying at all. And definitely not because you are living with PTSD. No one automatically knows how to be in a relationship, that is learnt, and it's different for everyone. This is not anything against you personally either, so let's try and take that out of it. What...

@jbrown2691 This is a little harsh. She was a supporter and part of this forum, and has every right to post about this. Take care of yourself bubbles. xo

I don't know how to quote...sorry. In response to you Eve, the battle between needs vs wants is a difficult one, I agree. I don't believe that needs will win. Not if you are committed to the relationship and working on it with your partner. As a supporter, I have needs, which are not being...

Good morning all! I just wanted to quickly pop in and say hello and introduce myself. I am a supporter of a Veteran with PTSD, diagnosed in 2010. We have a fairly new relationship, about 9 months in. He is an amazing man who is still finding himself and trying to take in the level of support...

I am really sorry that this has happened...there is no excuse for a**hole behaviour. Sounds like be needs to work on things a bit more for himself otherwise this will keep happening with every person he begins a new relationship with. Sometimes, our love and support is just not enough and they...

Yes. I feel like this sometimes. I am new to this forum and also my relationship with my man is only about 9months in. I am learning a lot about myself in the process, my strengths and how deep my love can really go for another human being. What I am working on is talking to my partner about my...

I'm really glad I found this forum and this thread. I have been looking for support on this issue for a while, even just to know there are people out there experiencing similar things to me and can understand and be empathic to my feelings. It has taken me a while to write this, because I have...
