Thank you all. And here's a secret: If he knocked on my door right now and said he wanted to come back... yeah. I'd probably agree. :(

Hi all, You may remember me from a while back when I posted a bit about my situation. Here's a link: https://www.myptsd.com/threads/is-it-as-easy-for-him-as-it-seems.83041/#post-1392333 Anyway, long story short, I'm working though whether or not he pushed me away purely because of the PTSD, or...

You're so right. And yes, I accept the hugs gratefully! Literally, nobody else in my life understands why I have gone through this with him for so long. So, finding this place, with so many people who speak truthfully and who also deeply understand, is amazing. I guess part of my frustration is...

Wow. This is eye-opening. On some level, I do understand that this is probably exactly what he's experiencing. He's even described it to me in similar terms. I guess the part I'll always struggle with is why won't he let me help him up the damn mountain? It's easier for him to not bother with...

Here's my sob story: Supporter in year three of push-pull (long, sorry!) It seems so easy for him to walk away or "just be friends." I get the impression that my inability to switch to friendship after all we've been through is odd to him. He is able to disassociate and turn his feelings...

Well, he set up a dinner and then bailed at the last minute, and then texted that he just wants to be friends. And with that, he hurt me more than anyone in my life has ever hurt me. I don't hate him. I hate myself for allowing him to suck me back into a relationship multiple times over the last...

I've spent the last couple of days reading through threads on this site, and they have been jaw-droppingly helpful. It's amazing to read through what the sufferers think, and how the thought processes work, and it's comforting to know that the experiences I have with my guy are not unique to us...

OMG. I am SO grateful for your edits! You have no idea. THANK YOU. And as I read what you were cutting and keeping it dawned on me really how logical everything you're saying is. Acting like it's no big deal making it easier to come back to is absolutely what I should do. On one of our good...

Thank you so very much for replying. Honestly, it made me cry. You're absolutely right. On a theoretical level, I understand this. But in my non-sufferer head, I still think, "Can't he just let me love him?" It's so hard to *really* get his perspective, which is why I'm so grateful for people...

Hello, First, I have to say how grateful I am to have found this forum. I've been in an on again/off again relationship with a C-PTSD sufferer for almost 3 years. Well, actually we dated 25 years ago. It was very intense. He felt like the love of my life. At that time, he hadn't come to terms...
