Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

This has nothing to do with PTSD and not that having PTSD in a realtionship makes in necessarity "dysfunctional" but in realtionship counselling circles I have read/heard that some couples tend to "feed" off the others needs and when the needs shift, they inadvenrtantly reverse to keep the balance.

So perhaps on this occasion because after all the time that you are fragile and he takes care of you, since he knew (assume) you were feeling well, he felt able to be not-so-perfect and sensiotive and express himself without treading so gently for once?

I don't mean for any of that to sound harsh BTW.

Not harsh at all. I ask questions hoping to get many different perspectives. Thank for taking the time to give me yours!
