Hello,
I too am shut out at the moment. I pray daily that the ptsd crisis will subside and he will feel better again. This is the first time I have experienced a shut out. My guy and I have dated since last May. Up until the end of January he was wonderful, open, warm, affectionate, etc. I noticed differences in him prior to the shut out, but did not realize what was coming my way. I now know for the future ~ if he ever lets me back in. Right now he says that I can do much better than him because he is flawed, evil, broken, a liar, etc. I just tell him that he is seeing himself through clouded thoughts right now. Listen to the compliments and nice things people say to him and repeat them to himself. A matra if you will. Maybe someday he will feel good about himself.
I know he loves me, he has told me since the shut out. But he is in complete crisis right now with all of his demons. I can only hope that he lets me in again and that he realizes how wonderful and special he really is. I wish he could understand that he has ptsd ~ ptsd does not have him. There is life after ptsd...and hope. He just has to find the right treatment or treatments that work best for him. Right now he just does meds. He was in a group for anger, but he recently quit that.
Good luck to you and take care of yourself. You need to be strong for him.
