Hmm interesting thread.... Not every one knows the person they are dating has PTSD , not in the beginning anyway , I certainly didn't , I fell in love with the way he made me laugh and his sexy smile , ok now I know , Opps to late! I already fell in love with him! Had I know from the very beginning I may never have gone there , but that is imaterial, I did go there ......... and we are going though some bad times pulled back , cutting me out , shut down ! But I care deeply enough to stick around , see where this goes , that is my choice, but I know thats not right for everyone, being with some one is your choice some choose to stay some choose to go, We may never get back to where we were ........ but thats a chance I have to take and I have accepted that, maybe it will make us stronger or maybe we will end up as just friends. But one thing I do know unless he says he dont want me around I will always be there, what I feel now is unconditional I dont expect anything back at this moment in time ..........
