Notices

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.

Default PTSD and Marriage - How Many Times Have You Been Married?
I am on my 3rd and finally got it right. The 1st was right but I was to immature to appreciate what I had till, I lost him. Second was a nightmare surely made me appreciate 3rd.

My marraiges

I have had 4 and seenm to be stuck on the number 7! 1st one lasted 7 months, 2nd one lasted 7 years, 3rd lasted 7 months and the last one--biggest disaster of all 7 weeks! I was single between # 3 and #4 for 13 years. #4 was a scam artist who was of the impression there was money around. He thought he had a pigeon with $$$$$ Boy was the joke on him! LMAO He saw me and my weakness and I'm sure I was acting emotionally needy

He was a true con artist cuz he even fooled my mother and that is hard to do! It didn't take me long to catch on and I threw his ass out in a big hurry.

My therapist has given me permission to not have men in my life. Which is ok with me. Besides, if I get the urge for a man in my life I'll just get another cat.

Someday I will go into the other 3 marriages and what they were all about

Where's the poll part? Anyways, I have never been married, yet... I hope though that when I do get married it is the first and last time, like my parents!! It sounds tough to be married more than once.

I've been very lucky or I married the right man first time out...or both, but I'm on my first marriage and it's lasted for 21 years. PSTD tested it pretty hard, but everything held.

I always joke that I don't have enough energy to train up a new husband, but I'm thankful every day that I've had with my hubby.

I'm on my 2nd marriage. First one lasted 8 weeks. Now we've been together 10 years - the longest time each of us has been in a relationship.

Too funny on the 7 years. They say if you get past the 7 yr. itch, you might make something long lasting. It didn't help I waited and gave it an extra year. Sorry about the poll mix up
