Like @Newtoptsd, I am quite new supporter too. I must say, the biggest damage in the beginning of the relationship with my PTSD partner was that I didn't know about his condition. It's very important to be open, but you can't be open without trust. So @TonyB give it time and a lot of communication with partner.
It's was so hard to be pushed away and thought about what I did wrong to receive such a reaction. After that he told me about his PTSD.
We also deal with his abandonment issue, so I see on him how hard it's to be close with me. We are close, we are slowly progressing towards each other, but from time to time bad day comes and he shuts me down .
So be strong and patient!
