Should I Just Let The Love Of My Life Go?

[AlmostFellForIt]

:sorry:I want to know if anyone has had to make this choice like I'm having to make. And what did they do; what was the relationship's fate?

Whilst our circumstances are different I'm in a similar position now. The biggest reality check I've had is that the psychoeducation from therapy (learning what you do and why because of your PTSD) doesn't necessarily translate into results or actions, not immediately anyway. I have been for some time thinking I'm acting differently (better) because I know better, but thoughts don't translate straight into results, habits must be remoulded. I've even beginning to of late wonder if due to my years of ignorant PTSD driven behaviour my partner could have a type of secondary trauma and may need therapy herself. This adds a whole other dimension, and saddens me.

If there is love, commitment and enough energy between the two of you I think it's possible to salvage and move on to new heights. I wish you well.
