Greetings,

I'm happy to have found this forum! I'm currently struggling with whether or not to stay in a relationship and the advice and sharing here has been really helpful. Looking forward to exchanging thoughts here.

Hi BriarRose,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum! :)

PTSD is hard on relationships to say the least. I hope you find the information and support here helpful as you work on deciding what is best for you. Regardless of your final decision, it is important that you put yourself first and stay well.

Take care.

Welcome,

I know of friends on this forum who have success stories and also those no longer participating because their relationship ended resuling in their no longer being a supporter. Whatever your outcome, I am glad you are here and searching for your own way. I say that because it does have to be your own way. What you want and what you know to be the right thing.

There are soo many things to learn in the supporters area. One thing I think is important is that any one here has the potential to learn from any other person here. Maybe a pearl of wisdom you just kind of absorb even if it was not pointed directly toward you or maybe someone posting words of support for you specifically.

I wish you well in your journey.

BriarRose, My combat vet is very intuitive. I believe this to be true of most, if not all of them, since they need to trust their intuition while in combat. Your sufferer may be feeling your struggle and may end up making your decision for you. That is what happened to me. Break-ups like these are very difficult no matter who initiates it. I feel for you.

Gingerly, my husband is not intuitive at all. If you need a hug you have to tell him. What you say may be true for a lot of Vets. To my mind however some are not like it and a girl should not think "Oh, my husband must be mean because Vets are so intuitive and he must know I need a hug now". Some men - Vet or no - just do not have a good intuition.
