Can you add a 4th choice - haven't a clue! Never had a relationship, other than for a few weeks when I was 15 - my brother threatened to beat the crap out of him, so I got dumped damn quick!

I'm pretty sure that those in the realtionship would change drastically. I guess it depends on whether one person still loves the other when those changes have happened.

I think relationships that start when someone is mid-ptsd might not succeed - basically because there might be a victim-rescuer thing going on. Once the ptsd is healed, a rescuer is no longer needed, and the former victim will resent being treated like they once were.

There are some deep and interesting aspects to this poll!!!!
