Relationship How Can I Comfort My Vet

[Deleted member 28812]

No, at least I don't. I'm assuming your question is about whether we actually believe that being on the edge of a crowd is safer than being in the middle of it, but correct me if I've misread that. It's a conditioned response, not a reasoned belief.

My question was if you do believe people are really safer if they are with a Vet like hubby or FridayJones. When I read what she said about pretending to be searching for the toilet I realized that he does the same and I thought it was actually sweet my husband taking every possible measure to make sure we are safe.

I do know that restaurants are not unsafe. It is sweet nevertheless.

Hi lemon tree.

It's taken me many years to finally get this one! When my PTSD vet tells me he wants to be alone, I now say ok, you know where I am when you're in a better place, come find me. I don't try to hug or kiss him, I just let him be, but tell him I'm there for him too, if he wants.

I learnt I can never make things better. I can only be his rock when he needs me.

I used to get upset walking away. Now I just go and walk the dogs, do the laundry, some knitting, whatever. And I don't over fret and just act normal when he's back in the room.

Good luck x

I noticed that our life would be much easier if hubby chose to talk more but I also realize that thanks to this site I do understand some of the things he does now.
