You have shown Him that You will be there no matter the disrespect He doles out. You've "talked" and He hasn't changed but You have the 'power' to change the situation by leaving it. Love is a 'choice'. There is no such thing as a 'one and only' - not when there are 150 million Men in this country. You can 'choose' to love SomeOne who respects You or You can 'choose' to stay in this situation. This may sound blunt but my words mean to be helpful. Good Luck
 
I removed him from social media and stepped away from the situation. I’ll always be there for him, b...

Might not be of any help but me and my boyfriend are both PTSD and we have to take baby steps without getting overwhelmed. Especially in a relationship. We met each other without medication and almost killed each other with words and now we are both medicated.

I don't know if its a gift or a curse to be both PTSD.. But baby.. Baby steps.

I am not ready for commitment ( long term) although we are pretty much now but I want to give it a year to try it on.

I'm so sorry he didn't show up. You'll get threw it. Hang around us.

Thank you. This gives me some hope. It’s not about him not showing up. It’s about disappearing without a word, it’s about me having to follow these rules...rules that even he wouldn’t be ok with...or he’ll leave. I didn’t delete him because I wanted to. I had to. I can’t handle him ignoring me, but carry on with people who he fakes it with.

We didn’t speak for a few months and when we finally started again it ended up being a month and a half of him making plans and never showing up. I don’t understand that and it just makes me feel not good enough and I don’t do well with that.

Well, he's making the plans and dropping the ball so I don't think it has anything to do with you. Crazy. Usually people that are PTSD have a heightened sense of vigilance and can see from the beginning whether or not to put themselves in a place that's not safe. So... I don't know girl. Like walking across the road looking three hundred ways of any suspitious behavior. I don't really know too many of us that make plAns from the beginning of anything. So, I'm at a loss.

He might have more mental problems than PTSD. I do as well but am highly medicated and can work, be around others yada, yada. But I was diagnosed 2 years ago and I'm 54.. So a little late on diagnosis.

If he keeps making plans ( whatever this is) and can't follow thru.. I'd keep him at arms length in a New York minute. But that's me.

Cleo, I really think You made the right "choice" (as I spoke before - we always have choice). It's not 'healthy' to be (to stay) with someone who leaves us feeling bad about ourselves. It truly is not 'about' You - It's 'about' Him as HE's also making choices, and He's choosing to behave badly. I'm sorry for Your pain but sometimes heartache is a 'neccessary pain' - by that, I mean that in the end You'll see You are better done with a relationship that causes You sadness or dismay. Good Luck

Well he got ahold of me and I finally put my foot down and said I was done accepting his behavior and he went bonkers. I’m sad for his mental state, but this is mental abuse. No more.
