She told me she'd let me know if she moved on, that she would get in touch and return my things.
She would never have said anything if my friend hadn't demanded she step up and talk to me like am adult
@Neverthesame
Adults are honest and up front. Adults don't ghost. Adults don't refuse to return someone's possessions so that they can be a fallback option. Not only that, but she cheated as well.
Every one that knows us irl agrees that it's sh*tty behavior. That shes childish. They convinced...
An update. Ran into her at a concert and confronted her. She told me she still thinks about me, still cares about me, and wants me to be happy. Said the guy with her wasn't her boyfriend, from the tone and hesitation it was an obvious lie. Said she'd call the next day and gave me a hug. It was...
For a couple days? When I said it wouldn't happen again?
I feel like she wouldn't have sent the message this thread is about if that was true
Also it was 3 months, but whatever
I'm probably done here, even if she does come back. Its obvious that I've overshared here and its colored the feedback...
Thanks..... ? it seems some of you are determined to make me feel even worse
I wish I hadn't fallen for her, believe me. If it had been an official break up I could deal...
One more question, she was almost suffocated as a baby accidentally, and cannot handle being leaned on or laid on, could it be part of the PTSD or something else?
I feel like her disorder must be quite severe, to shut me out for this long. I don't know if I'll ever be a safe person to her again, and it makes me feel like an awful person. I guess I need to take a break from the internet and everything else, focus on my mental health and my...
From everything I've read on this site, a relationship with untreated PTSD doesn't ever seem to work... it's so sad. I hope she finds happiness someday, somehow. I miss her, but there's nothing I can do right now ?
I'm only a supporter, but I've rocked back and forth compulsively all my life. Managed to control it over time and now only do it when I'm listening to music. I also roll side to side in bed
I have a question. My sufferer was initially traumatized by sexual assault a decade ago, but didn't have much emotional numbness until enduring a prolonged physically/emotionally abusive relationship a couple years ago. Her abuser used her empathy against her and "I had to shut that off to...
I was the only person she could hold daily back and forth conversations with, not even her best friends could do that. I don't think that will ever be the same, but a part of me is hopeful.
I don't see it as a gamble or looking backwards. I feel empathy for the hell shes going through, its not all about me. If she decides shes best off alone then I'll be okay with that in time, when you love someone, you want what's best for them.
The door will stay open, but I am living my life...
I'm the type that still feels strongly for every woman I've been with, love doesn't fade for me. Dunno if that's a curse or a blessing. Have an ex whos the same way, we're closer than family now.
Anyway, in regards to this girl, I've now been shut out for as long as we were together. I feel...
Haven't heard from her in a couple weeks. Just move on? Move onto what? I can't just stop my brain from thinking about someone. That would be nice but it doesn't work that way. She told me she hasn't forgotten about me, and I couldn't forget about her if I wanted to. She could feel better...
I don't know if I should set a boundary or not, would it help or just push her further away? It's been so long... I don't want to give up on such a kind person that helped me with my own fears.
I'm enjoying life but I'm often wondering how she's doing in the back of my mind. That wouldn't...
I just wanna pop in here and say these recent posts have kept me going. My sufferers best friend cut ties with me for reasons unknown and my head has been spinning, but she herself seems to be slowly coming around. Reading all of this from the other side of the coin is a real comfort especially...
Sorry for double replying
I realize now that I made her feel guilty in September, told her I turned someone down to be just friends and that I couldn't feel for anyone else right now. Her negative response to that made me assume it's over. I wouldn't have mentioned it, but a friend of hers...
That's what led to this. She was symptomatic, I was in a manic phase and made her feel smothered and surprised. When I'm worked up I get anxiety attacks easily and then act impulsively.
Was worried for her well being, but played it off as trying to make conversation throughout the day...
I know the feeling. PTSD sufferers can be some of the most wonderful people, they deserve love too. It's hard to lose someone special this way, but the choice to wait and see is up to you
