General Christmas Wish List- Am I Asking Too Much?

[myvetswife]

I think a wish list could put too much pressure on both off you. It took my husband a long time to deal with his PTSD but it sometimes still comes up.

I never talked to his doctors, I talked to him. I looked at the cup video here and it explained a lot.

Talking to him gives me more chance to react right. He knows what he needs in a situation. Not the doctor.

Everyone has such good things to say. I tend to agree with Ish. It is important that your boyfriend stabalize first before commiting to anything new. Slow may be in your best interests. I am a hopeless romatic. Perhaps I was to hasty in my response to you inititally. You have gotten some really good feedback to help you out. I wish you the best in this situation.

There is no harm in wishing as long as you are also prepared for the outcome that your wishes may not come true. I am sure that you are well aware of that. We all need to set goals, things to achieve, otherwise life would have no purpose. Gee, I can't believe I just wrote, I have put my life on hold for so long without goals or direction. I had better practice what I preach. Good luck, hope at least one wish happens for you.

Well, ultimately I suppose I don't have any control over a single thing on that list. Only God does. I was just trying to mentally organize and clarify the jumble of issues that were clouding my own mind.

I will do what I always do-hand my list over to God and know that He will care for me and provide for me beyond all my expectations. He knows what is best and He will guide me through this as He has so far in this relationship. So far, by listening to God, everything has been going extremely well with my relationship with my boyfriend. No reason I should stop listening to Him now!

Every time I hand my will over to God His blessings always exceed anything I could ever have thought of or dreamed of on my own.

Thank you all for your insight and wisdom. It has helped me a great deal. I hope you all have a peaceful and blessed evening.

Sincerely,
Dallas.

Glad that what I posted was taken in the spirit in which it was intended, Dallas :)

He is still in the hospital. He is very ill and I don't think he is able to be in a relationship now. I spoke to my best girlfriend since 5th grade and she agrees. I need to let him heal. He is overly ambitious and optimistic (just like me! :rolleyes:) but we need to really slow things down. Baby steps with oxygen mask.

Sincerely,
Dallas.

I am stepping aside so God can heal him.:inlove: I know he is much safer and better off in God's hands than mine. :notworthy:

Besides, I am dangling off the fiscal cliff, and don't want him to give up his VA housing to move in with me, only to find out I'll lose my house in the next couple months! Then we'll both be homeless and he is too ill to be homeless. I have to look out for his best interest and keep him safe!

Sincerely.
Dallas.
