The last 5 or 6 weeks has been a living nightmare, all my feelings and emotions has heighten to levels I have never experienced. My panic disorder, depression, and agoraphobia has risen to a much higher hyperactivity. I had sought out and establish a ptsd therapist by my family doctor. They have been a blessing in helping me to reclaim my mentality and help me regroup.

I have dealt with many traumatic events during my lifetime and had fought them to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But the past break up with my girlfriend has been the worst experience I had ever faced. I put no blame on her of how I am reacting, her action was her choices, but her actions has trigger many unwanted situations. I'm seeing that it causing stress upon my family, and I dearly do not want these effects to hurt them because of my present crisis. I feel I have now gain control of my past ptsd trauma, but still the pain of losing her has a strong hold on me, you cannot suppress love like a on and off switch, well I cant, some might be able too.

I have spent countless hours every day this past month googling sites about relationships, ptsd, break ups, psychology based on human interactions. I have dapple in many forms base on relationships, such as, how to heal from a break up, if no contact works, steps to get your girlfriend back, did she really love me, sudden break ups, was I a rebound, is it really over, steps to regain yourself, how to win your girlfriend back, there was so many topics I studied on to piece together a intelligent course to regain my own mental and physical health plus proper ways to work toward a possible reconciliation.

Knowing that my actions during the past month could have damage my chances. The crying to her, the pleading, the concent talks of why, was on death ears.

Even when all of this took place, we was in contact, there were positive conversations. She has establish boundaries and has faithfully stood by it. She dont want to meet up, she personally haven't call me to see how im doing or the kids. She continues saying its over that she wants to be alone.

There are a few possibilities I am thinking on base on my research. This is base on her comments to me during our conversations. Here ill list some for the readers to have insights were I stand. She said I do love you and the last year was special experiences. That I know you care and love me. She said she did think hard on our past and the many questions I ask about the strengths of the relationship. She told me that open things about herself then she added that she is in love with a man she dated 5 years ago. She said I do love you, but in love with him. I know they are in contact, its possible he's in the picture now.

The only thing I knew about this guy is this, when they were dating, she caught him with another woman, he cheated. I dont know how it ended back then. Earier in our relationship she broke up with me for a few weeks and found out she cheated on me with him. I forgave and we reestablish our relationship which lasted 10 months til the present break up. When she told me about the current situations, I ask how can you be in love with someone who cheated on you, and if he loved you, why he wasn't there during her time of needs, her brain surgery, and her current ptsd illness. I told her that you are not the same person you were 5 years ago, do you feel he will be supportive if you got together with him. When the honeymoon phase is over, when you have your down times, your isolation issues, your panic attacks and depression states, do you think he will be there or do you think it overwelm him in time? Do you think he be in the same "in love" with you as you are in him? What did he do then to show you there be a different outcome? Is he going to beable to be that caring, loving man now that your not the same person he knew before? How you know what his true feelings are, by how he reacted to you present state? Why chase someone who's history was base on sex and him staying away from you and your other needs? If that make you happy, great, I undersand, but it could lead to the same outcome?

She also stated that this might be the issue that holds her back of moving forward, that she has some fear of commitment, if she ever did decide to commit, there be a closure completely.

I know we had agreat relationship, base on many forms, I know she loves me and the kids, in my heart I feel she has doubts, and fears and trust issues. I understand the pause now, I know with her conditions with ptsd that we behave differently. If the break up happen now then it gives opportunities to see the truths, pros and cons of our relationship. I know in my heart she is my soul mate, I know I be there faithfully as I was in the past. She be always loved, cared for, and have stability with me. Thats being said from the one who is "in love" with her.

These days spent without her are so hurtful, sleepless, numbing, I know no special wish can bring her back. I know in my heart you can't replace the love I have for her. There is only two outcomes ahead, I will be with the one woman I love, that I cherish, my best friend, my soul mate or I will live without her, always empty, always thinking of her, always craving her hand, her kiss and that beautiful heart of hers. You might be able in time to move on, might even feel love, but you can't change your true feelings or your heart. You can remember the great times and hold them dear, the ghost of past love, you will never replace the actual person.

I don't need to let her know my heart and what I want, she knows this. I proved my undying love, she knows this. She knows I would give myself to her forever. I have hope, thats all I have now, I love her so much that I hope she have happiness. I hope she heals with her ptsd. I hope that a companion one day will be her everything

I hope it is with me...

Hang in there. Some of the symptoms you mentioned are complex and only she can overcome those when she is willing and ready. Show her love no matter what. She may realize that her destructive behavior will limit her growth and trust for others.
As a supporter of a wife of 21 years. I have a hard time currently with the isolation of love and intimacy that used to be there. Quiet times usually have me thinking of the worst scenarios possible. I think you have a good grasp on your situation. I know that you cannot control the situation. Sometimes when we lose ourselves, we find each other.
My heart goes out to your loss and compassion. I will be praying for you.
 
Sounds like you need to focus on you at the moment.you deserve better than being cheated on and if she is in love with another you cant change that.its a very hard thing to do :( I am going through a similar experience.wishing you the best for you and your family .

I really don't want to show that beta male characteristics, I let myself become to passive, weak, clingy and needy. I wouldnt blame her to push that away, I wasn't like that when I meet, I was stronger, charismatic, more of a alpha male. I need to stand my ground, be firm, I will learn from this, and I wont ever weaken myself to that level again especially with God by my side. If she feels again that she wants a good man who treat her like a woman should be treated, she knows how to contact me.

Its past the friendship pause, I know in my heart that it be to hard to just be friends now, how can I now be around her as a buddy, when I want her touchs, her love, her heart as a companion. This is how it has to be now, nothing more, nothing less. I wont be second best to any woman, I wouldnt treat her as 2nd best, so why should I. I may never know all the answers why and how this break up happen, but I do know that I deserve to be treated with respect, honesty and fair.
