He flew me down there and we had an amazing time. He was kinder, and sweeter than ever. I was so proud that he was getting help and could see the difference. But, over the past couple weeks, he's gradually started pulling away again. Gone are the sweet texts during the day. Which has me wondering if he's just playing games. But, this behavior is also consistant with ptsd.
Blueeyedgirl... what you describe in this post and the subsequent ones does not sound like a relationship with someone with PTSD, it sounds like a relationship with someone who has borderline personality disorder. I can not say for sure one way or the other from your posts, but may be worth doing some research on the topic...

Playing games isn't a symptom of PTSD...
