I've been struggling with this for about 2.5 months now...this page has been very helpful so I decided to share my story
My boyfriend struggles with PTSD, I noticed the signs very early on in our relationship, I encouraged him to seek help, which he did with therapy and medication. We are both military. This was the best, most healthy relationship I have ever had. The first 9 months were amazing--we did things together as a couple, he helped around the house, our children got to know each other, we met each others family and friends. Life was good. We had made plans for a future, talked about buying a house together and things we wanted out of life. I have never laughed so much and felt truly loved when I was with him. We got along about every facet of life and what we wanted out of love and a relationship and building a future together.
Our first real fight he literally packed up everything at my house (which he was pretty much living at) and left---his last words to me were " You did this to us, now I'm giving you something to think about".
I've called, I've texted--no response from him-not one.
I did manage to see him at his house one weekend, we spent 2 great days together and now were back to not speaking to me at all again
I am dumbfounded--how can someone do this? How can they just push someone away that they love, with no regard for what they are doing?
I send him messages to let him know that I am here for him when he is ready, trying to be supportive-with no pressure or expectations attached to it but honestly I am so f*cking angry right now
