I've already told him that I'm only doing what he asks. When he get's in one of his moods it usually takes him a day or two for him to come around. I tried talking to him, but it doesn't help. He freaks out and shuts down. I'm honestly afraid to talk to him. I just don't want to stress him out and I know that's not ok, but I just don't know what else to do.

Presently, he's in one of his moods. It's now day two and last night I got a text from him saying that he's going to "try one last time to make me happy". Is it always like this? Is he always going to be up and down, questioning my intentions, our relationship, etc? I know I've read that it PTSD isn't curable, but does it get better? I'm venting. It just sucks. I love him so much and all I can do for him is sit back and watch him hurt. I know that I won't see him this weekend, because he's in one of his moods. It's frustrating. From reading other posts I know I need to take care of myself first and I'm at a point where I'm going to need my own space. I just don't know how to explain that to him without crushing him. I don't want to lose him, but I know that I need some time. I just don't know how to do it.
