I’d consider most 6-12 months relationships new. Especially when you don’t live together, so are still very much in early days ...dating/getting to knoooooow you stage... deciding whether or not to take things further, or not.

We broke up.

Oh no @Jay02. I’m so so sorry this happened. The last thing that helps to hear is “it’s better this way.” From the outside, of course it always looks and sounds so easy. I think PTSD breakups are especially hard because there’s a variable in there that just never quite makes sense, cognitively or emotionally.
It’s not you. It’s not you. It’s not you. In time, once the worst of the worst pain of this has found its place, you’ll maybe see more clearly how very sick he is and how very little this has to do with you (I know it doesn’t feel that way right now.) you don’t have to be grateful that he’s “protecting you,” and you don’t have feel bad for “how sick he is.” You’re allowed to feel sad, angry, and disappointed that your heart had to get drawn into something this shaky and complicated, and that you did your very best.

I am so sorry.
Experiencing something similar since last Thursday I can't really tell you much that you didn't hear too many times already probably.
We can get help and the companionship of others and it really helps a lot. But nobody can take our pain away. We have to live through it to hopefully see a sunny day at the end of this seemingly endless and dark road. But somewhere inside me I know that there has to be a light.
I hope you will find it some day, if not within yourself. Am hoping the same for myself.

I'm so sorry about this @Jay02. I think you and your relationship with him gave him a reason and the courage to reach out for help. And that's an awesome thing. I know you're heartbroken but try to be happy for him. It is a great thing that he's gonna take care of himself. 22 veterans a day take their lives. It's real. He's doing the right thing. Hugs to you. Take good care of yourself!! XO
