Relationship Hi A Bit Of An Update

Not open for further replies.
Well yesterday was not so good. :(

We found a major trigger and it was a shocking day. He was mean and abusive all day by about 3pm I lost it at him for a minute. I was really cranky at myself and at him. Also I put too much thought into everything. He was unable to be with us. But he did end up comming and sleeping in our bed at 2am.

It is good we have found a trigger but sad as it is something that I feel rips us both off. But at least we now know and can avoid this situation again.

I was lulled into a false sense of we are over this.lol Gosh how quick i came down from the clouds. It was nice up there though.lol

We are not back to square one we are at least at square 5. But we are learning. Accepting limits.

My husband wont drive our 4WD for love nor money. Now this is the car we both chose and seriously he said he wanted a van before we found this car and I was like ok lets look for one. Well now there are issues with the car and I am trying to figure out fixing the car. But I have actually found a van that would be appropiate for us and we are going to go and have a look today at it. Maybe this will be something my husband will like. I did call him a liar yesterday after he blamed me for the car we brought. Not my finest moment but I was quiet peeved that he didn't tell me the truth at the time.

But I have come to realise that the 4WD is a trigger as well. His mum owned a Maroon 4WD similar to ours. GREAT WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT. AHHHH But now I know I am trying to get rid of it. I need a car so I have to buy a new one before I get rid of the one we have. So that is my mission. I feel upset about it.

I feel a bit guilty today as I feel like all I do is trigger him and I dont even know it. It makes me feel a bit overwhelmed but at the same time. If you look at it as a whole it is overwhleming but we aren't looking at it all we are looking at one part so therefore once it is gone that is one trigger GONE. :)

Anyway I still feel hopeful and yesterday was a bad day but hopefully today can be better. :)
 
PTSD is infortunately always a roller coaster & a learning experience for all concerned.

You can't beat yourself up about something if you didn't know about it. My attitude is if it is broken but no-one tells you then you can't be held responsible for not having had the chance to try & fix it.
 
Thanks Nicolette. I suppose I feel somewhat confused sometimes.lol

Ah well we will see what today holds. Not going too well so far. lol
 
Roller Coaster? I thought we all agreed this was more like a Bungee Cord!

I have always said that I have to experience the lows in order to appreciate the highs, but OMG!

Seriously HopeLives, I think if there was some positive, then that hopefully will be a trend up. Yes, bumps along the way, but I hope a trend up. Just hang fasten your seat belt, hang on and to not exit the vehicle untill it comes to a full and complete stop.
