Relationship Appreciate the guy you have

[Never_falter2]

Sometimes I think that some supporters which includes me do not really appreciate the guys they have but wish they where with another guy, who talks about his feelings 24/7 and is overly cuddly and emotional.
My guy is ISTJ (on Myers Briggs) and for me it was really interesting to learn more about this personality type.

In the past I sometimes had the habit to blame everything I did not understand about him on his PTSD and that stopped me from appreciating things that where just different (but cool) about him.

I think by now I understand I need a man who is my rock (which includes not overly notional and sometimes a bit insensitive).

My partner is not like that at all and he's the supporter. That's really interesting you felt that way. It's sometimes so hard to tell what's ptsd and what's just personality. I struggle figuring that out for myself it must be so hard for supporters.

My man was driven, aggressive and a born leader. Then the Army trained him to be situationally aware and manipulate people. They also trained him to triple check everything and insist on perfection from everyone around him (including himself). Then he developed PTSD.

While there are many many things about him that I admire and adore, he is not an easy person to live with. It can be hard to remember to appreciate his good points.

Yes!! Myers Briggs!! Kudos on bringing that point up... definitely reccommend it to everyone. It really helps you understand people and yourself.

Nice post :)
