    I guess the crappy answer to what he’s bringing to the table right now- is nothing, sadly. Maybe I feel guilty? Before I met him, the only relationship I’d ever known was an abusive one. I was in it for ten years and this guy got me out of that dark place. When he loved me, he loved hard...

    General What are they thinking?

    Maybe I should explain my side of things and where we are now, so everyone can better understand why I’m stuck. Long story short, he’s a combat veteran with ptsd. We met around two years ago and instantly hit it off. He was honest and told me from the beginning he had ptsd. I won’t lie, I was...

    I wouldn’t tell mine that only because realistically, he knows better than to think I’d ever wait that long. I don’t think anyone would wait ten years or more(props to them if they could though. Lol) But when the day comes where I do know a specific time frame, I’m most definitely gonna let him...

    I feel as though we should be allowed to set our boundaries when we actually KNOW our boundaries. I feel as if I were to set boundaries this early in my relationship, I’d be lying to myself and him. I’m as lost right now as he may feel at times, so that makes it hard on both sides. I’m glad I...

    The thing is, I’m not sure what I’m okay with. I’m not sure how much time he can take that I’ll “be okay with.” I’m taking things day by day, just as much as he is. This is my first time going through this and I’m still figuring all of this out. Give me a break. If all the time he needs IS 10...

    Thank you for this. I really needed this reminder. After a month apart, my sufferer explained to me the other day that ghosting me was his way of feeling free. Not having to answer to anyone. As much as I understand that, it makes us supporters worry sometimes and that’s what I struggle with...

    Relationship Dating a man with ptsd

    It’s funny that you said all of this…. I hadn’t heard from mine in a month and he just reached out last night. He told me that he came off his medication and he didn’t know where to go from here. And that he was sorry and regretted leaving. I can’t say that I’ll go back, but I do forgive him...

    Relationship PTSD Relationship Breakdown

    I know the feeling. It’s almost scary how accurate your situation is to mine. All those same things started happening with us. He was obsessed with me every second of every day for a year. Switched meds and completely changed. Stopped calling, stopped answering. Told me he felt empty. I ended up...

    Relationship Dating a man with ptsd

    It’s been one week since I’ve heard from him. The last time we talked, he wasn’t the person I knew and as much as I wished I could help him, I had to cut him off. Not that he cared, but I had to do what was best for my own mental health and my kids. It feels like I’m mourning someone that died...

    Relationship Dating a man with ptsd

    Not harsh at all! I greatly appreciate everything you said! Like I’ve said, this is all new to me so I’m still learning. I knew it was gonna take patience. He’s already been divorced twice, so I knew what I was up against. In his defense, those divorces happened when he was in denial. So that...

    Relationship Dating a man with ptsd

    He just tells me to go before it gets bad… He mentioned not being able to get his meds until July for whatever reason and told me to leave before it gets bad. Every time I ask if we’re still together or what he wants, he doesn’t answer me. I can’t get an answer out of him so that’s why I...

    Relationship Dating a man with ptsd

    I’ve been dating a veteran with ptsd for over a year now. It’s been long distance. There is a two hour distance between us. It’s been tricky but as of a month ago, it’s been worth it. I’ve held off moving to him in case something like this happens bc I do have kids involved. But as of a month...
