meant patience ISN'T my best quality!!! Although I am working on it

I am SO grateful for the honesty. If I felt it was false hope I wouldn't be so patient, although patience is my best quality. I don't know what makes me think like this but I would like to give it at least a few more weeks - if I think about what he has told me so far I can see why he does need...

Hi eg, Welcome to the forum you have found a great group of guys here who give so much great advice and support. There are many good articles too. Take care AP

Amethist thank you so much for your advice, the stress bucket explanation makes so much sense. I can't imagine how it must be for you being someone you have been close to for so many years feeling like you were brother and sister. I am glad you are now starting to feel like husband and wife...

Ok, to get a proper perspective on this maybe I ought to tell you what I said in my message - I told him I was here and not going anywhere unless he told me to go! That I was confused, was trying to understand but didn't know how ptsd really affected him. That he was a great guy and we had fun...

Congratulations to you both - your advice has been much appreciated, I am sure you have much more valued advice to share

I have waited 10 days for the guy I am getting to know to come out of isolation, when he first disappeared on me I did get him to eventually reply to a text and he said I would hear from him again, but nothing for 10days! I don't know if this is just his ptsd or whether it is him being a guy...

Thank you Jenkins 123 your words mean alot. I will give him the space no matter how hard it is, I don't want to make anything worse for him. Sorry things are not good for you either Big hug xx

I just want to text him, he has been withdrawn for a week today, part of me thinks he don't want to know me anymore, but a bigger part says this is just what happens. As this is the first time I have experienced this I don't know. After the advice I have received I think it would make things...

new02 and roxyange116 I too am dealing with isolation for the first time, he isn't my bf but I thought we were headed that way. He left me one morning saying he had things to do and would be back later that afternoon (we do not live together) and I never saw him or heard from him. I tried...

Amethist thank you so much for your advice. I now know not to ask too many questions when he does contact me. If I hadn't heard from you this could have been a mistake that I did make. His disappearance did worry me for several days, even when he told me he wasn't speaking to anyone he was...

Thanks Jawn, as long as I know this isn't unusual and it is not personally I can wait. As I wait I will continue reading more articles to help understand more. I can see from what I have read so far that this is not an easy ride for sufferer or carer but I am willing to give it a try cos I...

Hi, I am new to the forum but I have spent the last day or two reading through many of the posts - especially on what to expect as a carer - the thread was fantastic and made me start to think it isn't just me that feels like this. Let me tell you my story.......I started chatting to a guy a...
