I just so happened to find this thread while Googling "Why can't my husband and I get along?" Its been a year since you posted and you mentioned you needed someone to talk to. Well...I am in the same boat. My husband is military. He isn't able to show sympathy/sensitivity (he really can't...we've been together for 4 years). We argue ALL the time. He's always in a bad mood. He says I ask too many questions, I nag him all the time, etc. I feel like he doesn't care at all about my feelings and he gets mad whenever I start to tell him how I feel.
I hope you are still on this thread. I would really like someone to talk to.
This last one is important as I have found in talking to other military wives with your problem. Is that many of their husbands are suffering from PTSD. I'm not a doctor and you really haven't given much to go on though from the little you did give us PTSD is a very good possibility. If your husband has been subject to deployments to any war zone or peace keeping missions PTSD is an all to common problem.
If I am right in my assumption and you agree with me. Then you have the right to contact his Commanding Officer and make him or her aware of this. If the Commanding Officer does their job as they should, they will see to It your husband gets the proper professional help to overcome this.
Most people suffering from PTSD don't see themselves as being ill. They think all is normal and from their point of view it is. The problem is that their prospective is off and that is where the problem begins.
Hang in their and help him get the help he needs. You and he have sacrificed for our country and now it is time for the country to help you.
I thank you for your sacrifices and his service. Should you wish to be more open about your problem you can send me a private message and I will respond. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
