I think @Ronin hit the nail on the head. Teamwork!!
I understand J is the one with PTSD but I can't let him figure everything out on his own. Especially when it involves me too. We're in this together.
If he was having a problem with intimacy/sex I wouldn't expect him to resolve it by himself. I understand you want to make your SO happy but what exactly is he doing to make you feel safe and comfortable? You're in couples therapy to figure out how you can have sex more often. This doesn't make much sense to me because you need to address the reasons why sex is so difficult and what you need to feel supported and safe. You may not be (sexually) compatible right now. And that's ok too.
J is finally able so share his triggers and symptoms with me. He always tries to explain what is going on in his head and why. He talks. I listen.
How long have you two been together?
P.S. thanks for the wonderful compliments @Warrior Chicken and @Mee!! You both made my day.
XO
