I have experienced very similar and from the short time that I have been here what you and I have both experienced seems very typical. I do not know the answer. I am involved with someone with PTSD and it is like a roller coaster ride. A few weeks ago, all was great; starting a few days ago she...

I have tried something very similar to that. Wow... big back fire... "You are not here to take care of me"! ... "I want to take care of myself"!... I thought something similar to what you suggested would work... wrong!!! Dont be concerned, I had all ready attempted that before I had read your...

I have been on this site for a few weeks with a problem not much unlike your own. She comes and goes in a fairly unpredictable manner and I find it so hard to cope with. She just left me again a few days ago saying that "she just cant do this with me". She has said that before, every time I...

I understand what you are going through. I have a lady that I love so much and found that she has severe PTSD. Some of the things that you have described are so close to what I have experienced. IT is so much like there are two persons in her little body. The two people can be so different. When...

I understand your need for the TLC. Myself I have decided that I am just a hopeless romantic. When she is here, life is wonderful. When she is gone I am miserable.

Thank you for the kind words... Thank you for the kind words...

I also am in a relationship with someone who has PTSD. I wish I had a magic bullet solution for you. She comes and goes. I believe she loves me as much as I do her, but when the PTSD kicks in she pulls away and withdraws like crazy. This is not a long relationship, although we have known each...

Very very insightful. Thank you so very much. I will take this to heart. You make a lot of sense.

I think I am the trigger... I have a relationship with someone who has PTSD. We love each other, we miss each other when we are not together. Her PTSD causes her to pull away from me severely. I feel that I am the trigger for the PTSD. My opinion of what is happening is that she loves me...

She has been in therapy but is not right now at the moment. I know she has plans to get back to it. I want to encourage her, but I am afraid that should I say something she will not take it well. As far as support for myself, this is the first time in my life I felt I was in a situation...

Your last statement, "I feel that there will come a point where I need to let him go for him to come back", is so true. I think I am about at that point in my relationship now and have been there before. A few of months ago she left me. About a month and a half later she called me, in tears...

I am in a relationship with a beautiful woman that has severe PTSD. I love her beyond life, but it is a roller-coaster ride. I am 63 and she is 60. I have known her for almost 2 years now and our relationship has seemed to me to be on again / off again for a long time. I finally realized it is...

Your relationship sounds so much like mine. I did not realize when my SO and I started seeing each other that she had (what seems to me) significant PTSD. Unfortunately or fortunately depending upon how you look at it, I fell head over heals in love with her. I am 63, she is 60 and at first it...

Today/tonight I am very despondent. I am supposed to be the strong one here and she can crush me so easily with just a few words. I will start fresh tomorrow and I am sure be able to cope much better at the start of the day. I appreciate you help... Thank You.

Thank You... Today was one of those days where it wasn't me that wanted to walk but her. She has been there many times before and once did but came back. I am afraid that one day she will and never come back. A downer day for me because it was a downer day for her.

Thank You. Similarly she 'has me'. No matter how bad it gets and today is a bad one in terms of separation. She acts angry at me and sometimes I don't know how to respond, but I always tell her in one way or another, "I am always there for her and I love her". Thank you for your kind words of...

Thank you for your kind words and advice. I have told her many times I love her and will always be there for her. I will stay the course no matter what.

Thank you so much for your kind advice. I told her I wont give up on her ever and no matter what I will always be there for her. Before I realized the extent of her PTSD I did get angry at her and after almost two months of no contact, she started contacting me with some simple text then...

I am in love and have been for well over a year with a beautiful lady who has PTSD. I did not know when we started, she later she explained it to me that she had PTSD. Just a short time ago we went almost 2 months not seeing or speaking to each other as she had pulled away. She called me...

Blackjack, Just be aware that I looked to you as a reassuring voice. You immediately showed me what a valuable, nice and caring person you are. You were supportive to me in understanding better my difficult love with a person who has PTSD. Just reading what you said here, I want you to...
