Hi Sisu,

As someone with PTSD, and someone whose relationship has been affected by PTSD, I can see both sides. From his point of view, he probably needs space to try and deal with his issues. There were many times when I stepped back from a relationship in order to try and deal with the demons without involving a partner.

My wife has come to realize that there are times when I am best left alone, and that, in time, I will re-surface ready to deal with life again.

All you can do is let him know that you are there for him when he needs to be with you, or to talk.

It is common with PTSD to have commitment issues, PTSD often means not being able to see a future, and commitment is something in the future.

Take care.
