New Relationship With Combat Ptsd

Status
Not open for further replies.
So, I have recently reconnected with my high school crush. It's been about 14 years since we have talked or seen each other. But non the less, there is still an attraction there and we have been talking for a while now. We are going on our first date this coming Friday. Well in our conversations he has explained a bit of what he has been through. Obviously there are things he can't tell me which is fine but he has told me some. He has informed me he suffers from nightmares and combat PTSD. I really like him and have for a long time, and we both kind of feel like we have a second chance at this and I don't want to throw that away. But I have never dealt with anyone with PTSD let alone combat PTSD and would like some advise one how to maybe handle things, and what to expect.
He is a great guy, and he was an Army Ranger for 12 years. I am aware that he is not fond of large crowds or dark enclosed places such as theaters or shopping malls in the afternoons, but is there a common trigger with most or main points that I am missing?

Feeling a little lost with this, so if someone could give me a little advice that would be great! Thanks for your time!
