Relationship Ex boyfriend looked mad at me when i cried

[Ivy moey]

My ex-boyfriend who was PTSD broke up with ne for 3 weeks. In these 3 weeks, we talked almost every day sharing our days. I can't stop caring for him , at the same time , we know this is not going anywhere as we both suffered from his PSTD.

After we broke up for 3 weeks , we went for a movie . Being sad, I cried when we were in movie . And all the sudden, he looked like he was mad because I cried . What happened ? Why ? Why is he looked mad ? Can someone explain to me ???

It could be a trigger to his trauma. Why you are going to the movies with your x is more the question I have.

No idea. There are only about 1,001 options. Including many that have nothing to do with you (like the same part of the movie that made you sad made him angry), and many that have nothing to do with him (your misinterpreting his expression because of your own trauma history).

cannot stand people crying too. would like to cry but i am unable to do so. cannot stand someone crying in front of me. it reminds me how i am different now and how deep is the ditch between others people and i.
i fell a kind of ... bitterness when people cry. not directed against others people. only against myself for beeing such a monster. when someone is crying it makes me hate myself. it hurts. it hurts so much that i have to fill myself up with anger to not feel the pain anymore.

so i assume your ex-boyfriend must feel the same.

Whoa. Im in a long term relationship with an active military man. 6 years. He says he is fine. I suspect differently. When I cry, he gives me a reluctant hug, then treats me like Ive had an adult tantrum. If i am crying over something he has said, he stares at me with nothing...........He is currently deployed, so I can't talk to him. Every time I bring up PTSD, he denies it and says people use it as an excuse. Not too sure what to think.
