Okay wait..

He's asked you for space and needs a break.. so you send him "love" messages, x-mas trees and baked goods.

Well.. if he has PTSD... you just ensured he's going to avoid you as you've now shown him you don't respect his boundaries. If he doesn't have PTSD, still the same scenario.

Whether or not he has this disorder, your not showing him any respect at all by doing this.

Secondly, even if he has PTSD, that doesn't mean it even factors into breaking up with someone. For some reason.. many carers seem to think that since we have PTSD, we can't make a decision. This is a possibility that he just doesn't want to be in a relationship for any number of reasons.

Thirdly, we don't have to experience something traumatic to have a mood swing or change are minds.

This man is in a war zone right? It doesn't take much tv to watch to realize how bad it is over there. Maybe truly.. he just needs some space.

Sorry if this sounds mean.. but really.. there are more options than just PTSD here.
