Hi Sairandance welcome aboard ! My bf of 15 months has PTSD and yes it is a bumpy road...It is quite a journey ! but my bf is certainly worth it...he is everything to me and I couldn't imagine a day without him ! so I chose to stay and support and love him with all the ups and downs that this disorder brings !!

I see you feel the same way about yours, hang in there, give him your support, encourage him, let him know you are there for him. He has to WANT to make the steps to get better, but if he is like my bf, knowing you are there makes all the difference to him.

Since it is only a few months you have know him, in time, you will learn what is the best approach with him. Not everyone is the same, you will have to learn by trial and error.

The best advise I can offer you is continue educating yourself about PTSD, read about it, come on this site, talk about it, listen to him, be patient, supportive, try to understand what ticks him off and go from there.

There have been a few adjustments I have had to make in order to make my relationship with him a success. I don't regret any of the adjustments, cause what I have gained being with him outweights all the adjustments.

As in all relationships it is a question of "what can I live with ?" "Is he worth it ?"
