WoW! I had to respond to this...

Bec, you couldnt have said it better. I completely agree with you.
Butterfly,
It doesn't sound like you realize whats going on here. Be careful. You say you are married but with issues? and that you got counseling for? I guess i am wondering what the results were if any? or what happened with that? Do you want to be married? I am a bit confused. Maybe you can explain how you feel about your marriage or what you want to happen...I dont think its a good idea to be in both relationships...

If you want to start a new relationship with anyone other than your spouse, you should get a divoce first. Nothing hurts more than being betrayed in such a way (i would know) plus like Bec said, it sounds like you are trying to fill that "need" at the moment, but if you seriously think about it, you will probably end up hurting this new guy with PTSD too becasue you want it for all the wrong reasons it seems... PTSD has alot to offer (being sarcastic). Of course he makes you laugh and you feel as if you can talk about anything.... You are not happy with the person you are with... But it also sounds like (and i am only guessing and correct me if i am wrong) you dont know him for too long... Just be careful, You wouldnt want to hurt people you care about. If you like him that much be there for him and listen...but make sure you do whats right with your marriage as well whether its divorce or taking a break (that you both understand the rules) or working things out :)
well i cant say too much because you didnt say much...but from experience being with someone who has PTSD is hard and it requires alot of support and understanding (which unfortunately sometimes i dont even have) so its hard.... but then again i have been with my husband for 5years and i am not going anywhere.
