How many different military personnel have you spoken with? Which things did you discuss with these people which contradicted what your boyfriend is doing? Be very careful with making rash judgements about his PTSD diagnosis. The problem Maryjane, is that everyone is going to be a bit different in their reactions and symptoms; no one person with PTSD is going to be a carbon copy of another. Additionally, it depends on where the person is in their healing process. I gather your boyfriend is just beginning. In actuality, feeling as though one must walk on eggshells, and having one's PTSD sufferer take things out on you, are both very common occurances for family members. I have experienced both myself many, many times. Not that I condone those actions, however it does happen, and is part of PTSD. That being said though, I am very sorry things are not going well between you. Do try to have a decent night and I will comment more in the morning.
