My girlfriend this past week broke up with me. Shes had a very tough life with PTSD and a number of other awful mental conditions. She told me we were moving too fast (which I agreed we were) this coupled with the awful weekend she had and the major fight we had it was just too much for her to handle as she felt like she was trapped in a corner. We went on a two hour walk yesterday where we sorted through a lot of our issues. She has two kids (7 and 15) I have a lot of affection for. I’m concerned because she said that she needs to get herself straightened out but she makes excuses to not seeing her therapist i also suspect there is a guy coming around that she was having a sex only relationship with and that’s not fair to her kids. I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and hard place. We both know still like each other and when we started our relationship she was terrified I’d abandon her so we came up with a phrase (still here) to let each other know we were here for one another. I don’t have a clue of what to do at this point.

Hey @erok0385 - you are asking about your gf of 2 months again? Is this the same argument your other three threads were also about?
^This bit is new. You may think it's not fair on the kids but hell it maybe isn't fair on you either. Is it? Having sex with people outside of a relationship that is supposed to monogamous is not what ptsd is about.
^Giver her lots of space and get on with your life.
It really does sound like she has some things to sort out and a lot of them cannot be attributed to ptsd.
She has a therapist so it is completely up to her to get there and do the work. Her mental health is her responsibility.
