General Trying Not To Take It Personal

[BrokenWoman]

My combat vet had shut me out for 7 days and resurfaced. He opened up to me about a little of how he felt and then 3 days passed. On the 2nd and 3rd day he was barely speaking but trying to be upbeat. Now it's been 3 days again since I've heard anything from him. I feel for him right now. Memorial and right into 4th of July. I hurt for him so much. Trying so hard not to take it personally.I know his heart. Only thing keeping me holding on. It's tough..

Thank you! I don't wanna be a downer. He reached out to me today about an hour ago to talk. This is a person I love but am growing exceedingly afraid of. Not in a violent way but emotionally I guess. It just takes such a toll on you.

That's the key... It's not about you. It's about them. :hug:

I'm in the same place as you right now, OP. I hurt for him too...sometimes I just start crying because empathising with him hurts so, so much. When I think of what he's been through...it breaks my heart. But it means we care, that we love, and even though that love is painful it's a beautiful thing to love that much.

Sending hugs. I hope he lets you in soon <3
