Is there anyone else like me?

Has anyone else here been diagnosed with PTSD after their partner had an affair? My partner had his affair towards the end of 2015 and I’m still suffering triggers and emotional breakdowns because of it...


Please don’t judge me as I am still with him... we have a family that I believe is worth fighting for..

Hi and welcome Mscrzy81; (This is a judgement free zone so please feel safe)

I get it. Shock, disbelief and panic; could this even come close? Trauma's an individual response to an event. Even though 100 people might experience this situation, only a small percentage might exhibit post trauma symptoms. Unfortunately you're one of the unlucky ones..

You haven't written a great deal, but that's fine ok. It takes a lot of courage to post about personal issues for the first time, so well done!

I'd like to engage if you're up to it. Vent or chat briefly; it's all interesting and important. I care about you and what you need to express, so fire away! 🙂

To get the ball rolling I'll ask, how's the relationship with your husband now? It's been 3 yrs since the affair.

I think that'll do for now, I don't want to overwhelm you. I admire your courage hun. Please take care; I'll keep an eye out for when you return.

Lovely to meet you;

Warm thoughts;
