Yeah I didn't mean people who were already married or in a long term relationship, or had known the person before their trauma. I meant people who meet someone while that person already has PTSD that is largely untreated. Why do they want to have a relationship with that person? I mean it's one thing to be a platonic friend, you can be friends with anyone practically, but why would you want to be in a relationship with someone who is so sick that they are not emotionally available to you?

This might sound mean to say too, but one thing I've noticed on here... and again I'm NOT referring to anyone specifically... but I have noticed sometimes, someone will come here and say all they want to do is care for the other person because they love them soooo much, and they don't care that the person is emotionally unavailable or even abusive!! And they talk all eloquently and so on... well to be honest, that makes me want to puke. That person sounds like a martyr in my opinion, like they want other people to think how great they are, because they are "putting up" with the PTSD sufferer. I wouldn't want to be with someone like that. I already have parents thanks. :p And even my parents don't put up with a lot of bullshit from me.
