Relationship Closure... Hopefully

[JennJenn]

A few weeks ago my sufferer called and told him he thought he figured out more about his PTSD, and he told me he was taking steps to get better. Currently we have been broke up for two and a half months. After talking to him I was left confused because he had told me that he couldn't be in a relationship anymore. I told him that I am here for him, and if he ever wanted to try working on his problems together to let me know. I had no idea if he was calling to tell me because he wanted support, or what his intentions were. Finally today I asked. I couldn't take the not knowing anymore. I told him that I needed to know if we were done forever. He told me the scars were to bad to ever try again. It still hurts, but I maybe by removing all hope I can finally get closure.

JennJenn, My ex Sufferer and I have been broken up for two and a half months too. He told me more than once that he couldn't be in the relationship any more. It's difficult to accept, and I, too, am trying to remove all hope. I am sure that you and I will get there. It just takes time ~

We are ending our relationship too. But it is because I can't be in a relationship when he won't seek treatment for his PTSD. It isn't any easier being my decision. It's almost harder I think because I feel like I am abandoning him. Maybe if he broke up with me I could be mad? I don't know. Good luck to you both...and to me..

Time? I just wish I knew how much time. Honestly I wish I could be mad ta me, but I am not. He never wished this up himself.

I wish I knew how much time too. I fell to pieces when he left me, and am just beginning to pick up the pieces and get my life back on track. I'm waiting for the angry phase to set in, but it's not coming for me either.
