Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

OMG, thank you....Tonight I came home OMG, thank you So much....thats what I have decided to do. I came home tonight to my guy mixing a martini because he visited a combat vet in hospice today!! He's such a nice man and I thought this is just a stick!!! As far as I know the coyotes took it...

Hello all, This post I'm sure is going to sound crazy but I need to tell my story and ask for help. I am married to a wonderful man, Combat Vet with PTSD. This is a second marriage and he took on ALOT. I was in a 19 year marriage with a sociopath!! I have 3 adult children none of which live at...

I thought part of communication was to communicate? I have learned a lot from my sufferer and talking about things are so very important....which I'm not good at. My husband started saying things 2 weeks ago which is a pattern of his. "Why do you sleep with your legs pulled up...I'll sleep in...

I think that sounds great. I have wanted to go to couples therapy for a long time but the appointment is never made. I hope the appointment is made and all goes well.

Thank you all for your replies. The reason I try not to say much about different things is I known he is going to see it as an attack. I explained to him I didn't mean to get him upset its just something that I'm uncomfortable with. Finally I tried saying something and he found it as an...

Hi Just, I hope you dont mind me reaching out. Reading what you have said makes me feel you have such a great understanding of my situation. I feel like I'm so bad at this...... Tonight spoke to him about his usage of his phone when the 2 of us are out to dinner and how it makes me feel...

I know this is a long shot but need some opinions on my situation. I married a wonderful, wonderful man with PTSD a veteran which the war is the reason for his situation. He really is a kind and great man but this relationship is struggling. I take full responsibility for not taking it on head...

I'm sorry but I have to say its not normal. He seems a bit controlling.....sorry wish I could say something else but its not normal

Thank you so very much. Your reply is so reassuring. Everything you said is so familiar. My husband is very protective of me and is very afraid I will leave someday and never come back. Unfortunately those that fight for our country also can suffer. That's what a war zone does to you!! Thank...

Albus, Thank you so very much for your reply. Reading these replys really has helped me feel better. I've known these outbursts and his way of thinking is the PTSD. Getting the reassurance from this groups really helps. When things happen I scratch my head and say WHAT!! Understanding it is...

Thank you so much for your reply. My husband thankfully has support and counseling for his ptsd. I need to work on myself.....I need to not take his behavior personally and stand up for myself. It's hard for everyone envolved. Thank you for your support

Thank you for your reply. My husband is in therapy. He has quite a good network of support. I'm getting better at seeing PTSD for what it is....but am realizing I need to get better at standing up for myself and taking care of myself. This is very hard to do alone. Time for me to seek out my own...

Hello all, I've only been married for 9 mos and nervous I'll never understand PTSD. I'm much better than I was and hopefully will get better in time. One post described it as a cancer that lies dormant and wakes up when you least expect it. In my case this is the perfect description. I feel as...

Well I totally understand. My marriage of 2 months I feel is going down the drain. I can't believe I am saying that but thats how I feel. I feel as though I can't do anything right. I'm a very easy going person and not much ruffles my feathers .....so things like. Not kissing him before going...

Sorry wish I could help but I'm not aware of this

Sorry I'm new to this site and am figuring out how to use it. I just read your above posts and understand your situation. I'm sorry for being so stupid when it comes to this site. I think I got it now. I think some people with PTSD don't want anyone to know because they are ashamed which they...

Hi vixy does your partner have PTSD? My husband does and its very hard to understand. I'm seeking help for myself, I haven't been to a therapist yet but am researching for myself.

Please please please hand in there. As difficult as it is I'm sure SSI will come through. Your children need you. I'm sure its so very difficult and I send my prayers.

Thank you that is so true but how do you manage this. Just tonight I messed up again!!! He asked me if he should come home I said yes. I love him and want to work on it. Usually it takes him forever to get home. I was out for a walk which he knew.... I shopped for an hour and headed home...

What you said hits so close to home for me. My husband always makes me feel like I'm the bad guy. How do you get through it. My husband just told me that I have a bad back because when he try's to touch me I do everything to turn away to avoid him. It's just not true! How do you handle a...

Hi, When I read your post all I could think of was myself. It's so sad to love someone so much and feel it's not enough. I have been married for only 2mos and feel as though it's falling apart. My wonderful caring husband has PTSD and he says the same as your partner... I hope you don't mind...

Thank you so much. I'm hoping to learn so I can understand more.
