General Even With The Ptsd And All, They Still Make Us Happy.

[Sweetpea76]

It seems like I only post on here when my vet is having a rough patch and not doing so well. Recently I was lonely during a period when he was withdrawing. I knew enough to give him his space this time, and after about 2 days he came back around. This went a lot smoother since I knew not to have hurt feelings about it, and he knew I wasn't upset at him for needing time to himself. It made me realize that he really is a great guy, and he is dealing with all his injuries, visible and invisible, in a positive way.

The PTSD makes them not the best company at times, but our partners are still good people. It gives me hope to see how long a lot of the supporters on here have been together happily (for the most part) with their significant others. It's not easy, but people make it work.

Maybe I'm just feeling warm and fuzzy lately, but I'd like to ask the supporters what makes their partners wonderful.

To start, my vet has an awesome sense of humor, and is an old-school gentleman. :hug:

Sweetpea76 I'm no longer with my man who suffers with PTSD---but I admired his spirit, his humor, and beautiful smile.

I'm sorry about your break up NikkiGAPEACH1970. It's good you have nice memories of him though... you have to love a beautiful smile :)

He can make me laugh. He gets me like very few do. He is an old fashion gentleman in many ways. He has a strong work ethic that I admire. He goes out of his way for people. He has such a kind soul.

Sense of humour hands down, lol! We "met" on his sister's Facebook, I used to work with her, never knew she had a brother. He made a snide remark about a great mark she received on an assignment, something to the effect of "Not bad for a girl!" We continued on for almost three hundred back and forth one liners, all on her post. Needless to say, we thought we should become friends before she told us to get a room, :D

I was and still am his "Cupcake", mush, I know, but after being called many names over a 21 year marriage that were definitely not sweet, it is nice to be a Cupcake.

He is accepting of my life and what I do. My mission work is a part of my job, according to him, even though it is voluntary. He said it makes me who I am, which is true.

And he has the most beautiful aqua blue eyes.

Has to be my husbands sense of humour.

No matter how bad thing got he always knew how to make me smile. He never lost his quirky way of looking at life, and is always the one to say something that will make you gasp. He may not understand why we are all falling about laughing at what he has said, but so glad he has never lost that boyish charm.

I'm new here.

I love how aside from his PTSD he manages to take care of us. And how he makes me laugh. :)

This is great to read and gives me hope... my hubby used to be calm, happy, laid back - I see glimpses - usually when we are around other people...xx

 

[Sweetpea76]

Thank goodness for those glimpses, especially during rough periods. :)

I appreciate my boyfriend's strength. After all he has been through, he has never given up. I have come to realize that he is as stubborn as I am, which is probably why we are still together. He has a very twisted sense of humor which I enjoy. He can be incredibly caring. He is wonderful with dogs, and so good with his own dog. I also love how skilled he is: he really can fix anything.
