I am just glad that it helped you both to break down the barriers off one particular issue. It doesn't matter how you break that barrier down, just that you have and the door for discussion is open on a more understanding level. Well done to you both.

Hope, I think you need to be a little careful though where your heading with your statement surrounding PTSD, being it sounds as though you use behavioural aspects as an excuse towards your husband at times.... when we both know, its not an excuse for our behaviour as we could change how we approach our own illness and symptoms, ie. I am feeling ill and must go lay down; or; I am feeling unwell and need some alone time to try and reduce my anxiety, so I'm going to go for a walk. You get the idea. Compared with what is being explained above.... though this is just as I read it. Did I read it wrong? That is for you both to answer... not just one or the other!
