Hello
Don't really know where to start with this but thought an introduction would be a good starting point.
I've been ignoring my partners symptoms thinking it would be best if I didn't bring them up and now he has left me and his family. He hasn't been diagnosed but the welfare team have noticed he is struggling but can't intervene.
I haven't got many friends, and my family arent nearby but I'm feeling so lost that this switch has just gone off in him all of a sudden when I thought things were better.
He is forces, and we were together before he was deployed both times. I have lived through his nightmares for the last 2 years since his last deployment and they've taken alot out of me. His temper only shows when he has had a crap day and so have I. I've been so strong for the whole time. Just not so strong now.
It's taken me 3 weeks to join this forum because I think I was in denial. After spending the weekend with his family, at their request, I've got to accept something's wrong.
I've been reading through alot of things you have all said, and it makes so much sense but I just didn't want him to be unhappy. I want the best for him. I really truly do. Feeling the guilt for not asking him to talk about it with me when he knew I hadn't slept on regular occasions due to his nightmares. I would always say I was fine and slept ok.
Thank you to everyone who has posted. I feel less alone talking about it.
