Ptsd And Intimacy

[Jane1234]

Sorry I'm new to this site and am figuring out how to use it. I just read your above posts and understand your situation. I'm sorry for being so stupid when it comes to this site. I think I got it now. I think some people with PTSD don't want anyone to know because they are ashamed which they shouldn't be. I was told by my husband he didnt want me to go speak to anyone he highly recommends not going. At his point I'm doing what is right for me and us. He doesn't see it that way maybe because of what they'll say I'm not really sure, I did promise him if he found a therapist who deals with Combat PTSD I would use them as he feels no other therapist would be helpful. Its so difficult all we can do it love them

No. He's had this for years now and has his ways of dealing with it and helping himself but it's getting to the point his ways aren't always working

Vixy and they won't. He will relapse.

 

[vixy]

We just had a big talk about it all. I cried, he cried. We were both a mess but he's agreed that me talking to the therapist would help and will stick by me with it all

 

[Gs172003]

Can he go with you?

 

[Gs172003]

I love him with all my heart and he means everything to me and I don't want to leave him but I feel like i...

He's helping you so he doesn't HAVE to help himself. You're an excuse.

 

[vixy]

If the therapist allows him to yea

 

[vixy]

He knows exactly how I feel and will do everything he can to help us both with it. Including himself. It's a start at least

 

[Gs172003]

Good.

 

[vixy]

Wether or not he'll stick to it I don't know but we'll have to wait and see about that one
