So my boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for about 2.5 years. He knows I have PTSD and is pretty patient with me. Intimacy is an area that is difficult for me and I can't really initiate anything without having a panic attack. That hasn't been an issue until recently when he has stopped initiating anything. I don't really mind that he isn't trying to do anything major, but even the little things have stopped like kissing me hello and something. I am trying to figure out if I'm giving off a weird signal or if our relationship is dead. Otherwise he acts perfectly normal but it just seems odd to me... A lot has been going on in my life like some family deaths and such so I would feel bad breaking up with him now after leaning on him so much but I feel like I'm not wanted. Does anyone else have this issue where their partner who doesn't have ptsd just stops trying? I don't know if this is a normal problem or a PTSD issue
