Thanks StarChild.... I tend to push the out of mind and even minutes after I cant think straight - however this is even part of it... saying things to get you to think it didnt happen or want as you said! I may say something - trying to be funny ... trying to be more connected... even more...

Hi all I haven't been here for a while...... Just wondering your thoughts ...... I have been with my hubbie for 35 years! We met in our late teens.... he was a great guy.... however I am wondering if some of the things I equated to PTSD are actually him being a narcissist.... and where does...

Thank you so much for this and I am sorry I didn't come back sooner to the forum - a lot on the go this end - as always! And I wanted to say he "starts the ball rolling" as such from time to time when I am asleep - not more than this. I feel like I am defending his actions....! However I didn't...

We have just become intimate again. I think we have had sex 5 times or so in the past 18 years. This was actually while I was asleep too…. I got the courage to bring up sex again recently and of course it caused a big upset. (It ended up not being part of our lives as he would have a flashback...

I am back. Its been some years since I posted. I thought things were getting better however everything seems broken. Why is it so hard to be a family? Me, hubbie and our son? Its easier for us to be each be alone or just 2 of us. We went away for a few days and I do not stop working – its...

Hahaha! At least it will keep us fit while venting anger! :) x Thank you - I really appreciate this reply x 😅 Thank you so much for your kind reply -- hubbie had therapy and it really just made everything worse - the thing that helps is getting out, working and not going through it all...

Hi all Any people in a long term relationships with their PTSD partner? Do you still have sex? I met my hubbie in 1990 - the car accident happened perhaps that year too..... All was fine until around 16 years ago when our son was born. We have hardly had sex since then - and I can not remember...

My heart broke reading this - how amazing of you to post here to find help. You must go to the police. He must not be able to do this again. xx

It has been ages since I posted lovely people. I do hope you are all doing well. So........ On Saturday we went out for a day - we drove for an hour to go to a little place with what is now our favourite restaurant...... we were launching in the car and our teenage son was in the back...

Just want to say I don't know the answers however I hope you find a solution somehow..... I have been with my suffer husband 25 years and he isn't the loving kind young man I met and fell in love with - and like you I have been supporting his PTSD and much more for a very long time too...

Thank you for this.... he doesnt have anyone at the moment - he has always said the doctors/ counselors etc have made it all worse..... even medication didnt help him - he came off as he hated feeling like a zombie - but this took years to wean off.... I just dont know really - keep talking...

Thanks so much for your reply and sorry to hear about your situation too. Yes I do feel it is stress related.... sadly we do seem to lead a stressful life - and TBH he brings a lot of it on himself :( I think we need to let more go over our heads but its easier said than done!!! Thanks you...

Thanks for your replies - it has happened before and it was horrendous - he was lost in London -I called the police and I even had a mobile phone company tracking him.

Sometime I do - I feel we made some good steps forward. This could mean that he has not been horrible to me. Not been the big black cloud. I think I have forgotten what a "normal" relationship / life is like.

Thank you xxxx Thank you so much - your reply really made me smile too - thank you!! xx
