My partner and I are relatively new, but quite serious already. He suffers from PTSD and told me of this right away. This is the anniversary of his traumatic event (battle), and he has shut down completely. Prior to this, when he would get overwhelmed or irritable, he told me that he needs normalcy. Now normal isn't cutting it and he is saying that he is dealing alone and is used to it. I feel hurt. I'm asking what he needs, he won't tell me.....I try checking in, and messages go unanswered. Then again "I'm all alone".
How can I help?? Which of my own boundaries do I respect?
thanks so much
