    General When Is It Healthy To Walk Away?

    Escapism...wow...I think it is the first time I have seen somebody mention that here....and it so reminds me of my exsufferer! I live in Scandinavia and he would talk about buying an RV and drive around the US alone or with a friend or live in Spain during the winter or simply move somewhere...

    Relationship How to get through to him?

    No - you have to be strong for you ❤️ When I found this site almost a year ago, I hoped the lovely people in here would tell me, that PTSD relationships do work out....I needed a pat on the head and people to say...everything will work out for you and your sufferer. Well! That is not what I...

    Relationship Moving on

    I agree....especially the confusion part. They want a relationship and a few weeks later they don’t. They are in love and and few weeks later, they don’t know if they are in love....huh?! I spend close to three years in that Limbo....the push/pull....until May last year when I found this site...

    General Apologies

    One thing you have to learn if you seek help here, is that you may not like the answers. Supporters and sufferers in here have heard stories like yours many, many, many times.....it is classic and we know the PTSD tango all too well. I am an ex supporter. I was in an on/off situationship with...

    I could never share my man with another woman OR man....I totally understand why you didn’t like it

    General Question About Contact

    Sexting is safe....my guy loves that. But intimacy is scary. Sex is okay with a minimum of intimacy....frustrating as f***! He is working at it....in his head he wants intimacy and he is getting better at it...primarily because I had enough after two years of push-pull and him pulling further...

    Relationship What are the hardest parts about a PTSD relationship for you?

    The same here. Him spending time with his female friends who all adore him and he pulls away from me. I know he just sees them as friends and that he can spend time with them because he has no feelings for them....so they are safe and I am dangerous. So I hear you!

    Relationship Chronic break-ups

    I am convinced there is no NPD ? but thanks for sharing ? I guess he is protecting himself....you did nothing wrong. He is surviving on a daily basis. That doesn’t make it alright to block you though.

    Relationship Chronic break-ups

    I know just how you feel. It breaks your heart and leaves you scared....afraid to love again. It makes you wonder, if they feel no empathy at all....I still wonder if mine can’t feel empathy ....if CPTSD has done that to him, if his brain is in flight mode and he has no energy to worry about how...

    Relationship Chronic break-ups

    Mixed messages are very confusing....we spend a lot of time over analyzing their statements! Enough to drive you crazy! Just a few weeks ago he said; I can’t imagine not having you in my life as a friend or girlfriend. Say what? Girlfriend? I didn’t ask what he meant by that, because he would...

    Relationship Chronic break-ups

    Mixed messages....classic! Mine did that as well....I want a relationship, I will never get in a relationship again, I can’t feel love towards anyone, I love you a lot more than just a friend, I am not interested in anybody but you, maybe I will fall for someone else....and so on! So I know just...

    Relationship Chronic break-ups

    He behaves like nothing has happened ? Maybe says he has been busy with this or that. We don’t live together. We were neighbors four years and both in relationships before we became involved. We are not in an official relationship. He can’t do relationship anymore. He can’t do intimacy outside...

    Relationship Chronic break-ups

    Been there for almost three years. The whole push-pull dance. It is exhausting as hell. I truly wish I had some magic advice for you, for him not to see you as being dangerous, but I don’t. My sufferer pulls away for weeks. No apparent reason....he just can’t let me get too close to him. Most of...

    Relationship What are the hardest parts about a PTSD relationship for you?

    I I am sorry to hear this, That must have been horrible! A lot of sufferers have some behavior in common like the push-pull, which is soooooo hard to accept/handle. My sufferer is never verbally abusive. Not that he doesn’t have a temper...he does...but he controls it extremely well. I guess...

    Relationship I triggered my girlfriends PTSD and she dumped me.

    Dating someone with PTSD can be like standing in front of a freight train! You have to be extremely patient! Give her space. When she contacts you again don’t talk about relationship...let her bring it up. Don’t push her....let her take the initiative! Do some soul searching...is this what you...

    Boyfriend cancels last minute because of health

    My sufferer does that as well. Apart from CPTSD he has chronic back pains due to multiple attacks he suffered when he could still work. After almost three years I have reached a point where I am actually surprised if he doesn’t cancel ? I can still get quite dissapointed when he cancels. You...

    Relationship What are the hardest parts about a PTSD relationship for you?

    Him being able to spend time with everybody but me. That is super frustrating. I know that it is much easier for him, to spend time with other people than me, because they are just friends...they are not as “dangerous” as I am. But it still annoys me after almost three years, because it makes me...

    Relationship How to deal with ex seeing other people

    I feel for you! I know it hurts like crazy when you still love him especially because you are not ready to date yet so why would he be. Maybe you wI’ll get back together and maybe you won’t... nobody knows yet. I sent you all my best wishes.❤️

    General What are they thinking?

    I have to agree with this. I know sufferers are very different when it comes to ghosting...how long they ghost. My ex sufferer never dissapered for more than a week or two weeks, but he would contact me every few days.....just things like; how are you. I quickly learned not to contact him which...

    Why is relationship so scary for some sufferers?

    Thank you Sweetie...I needed that❤️ If I believed I needed help I would not have a problem seeking help...so thank you for that also. I have the entire time stated clearly what I needed from him...he couldn’t give it to me although he wanted to. Now he is very open to trying intimacy, but it is...

    Why is relationship so scary for some sufferers?

    If he needs me as a friend some day then I will be there for him and thank you ? It has been a learning experience and when at one point I meet a man who I am attracted to, I will definitely be looking for red flags and run like hell if I spot some ?
