I'd been seeing a guy for a couple of months and everything went so smooth. He introduced me to his family one day - which went off extremely well from all accounts, and then when I saw him a couple of days later he said he had PTSD and his psych said that a relationship (any relationship) was giving him stress and that he should end the relationship. He said he had no interest in meeting another woman and he in fact felt like running away for a long time.

I was shocked and hurt as there was no reason to suggest there was any doubt or problems.

He told me he did not want to see me again.

I had been in contact with his ex-girlfriend who told me that he did exactly the same to me. Approximately the same length of relationship 2-3months, and broke it off due to PTSD - saying it wasn't her fault.

So, it took me a approximately a month to get over him, but I was so confused when I saw him on a dating site the other day. Why couldn't he continue the relationship we had when it was going so well and why did he end it only to evenutally join a dating site instead.
 
No he can't revisit whatever the trauma was - with me, nor with his pysch. Given that he did the same thing with his ex-girlfriend 18m ago, he's been dragging it around for a while. He is a divorced and a fire man.
