Boyfriend feels no love?

Hi everyone.

My boyfriend has been diagnosed with PTSD.

He often says he feels numb, emotionless, deattached, no purpose, feels bored of life, is flat in emotions. He went through something extremely traumatic some time ago..

He has told me that he struggles to feel love for me (although previously in our 6 yr relationship he used to love me and always express this).

Has anyone else experienced that they struggle to feel love for their partner? Please share your experiences!
I love him dearly and I feel broken hearted, I just want to understand what’s happening..

Is he getting counseling. Has something triggered him, brought it back.

He never used to have it. We had a great relationship, very stable. He was diagnosed almost a year ago as something very traumatic happened to him.

Its changed our relationship. He feels numb, has no emotions. He feels "dead" inside. He looks for faults in our relationship. He tells me he is a "damaged" person and its not fair to me...

someone give me some insight please?

He is going to see a new therapist next week. An event did trigger it about a year ago, before this he never suffered from PTSD.

Sorry but if you can tell us the damage he suffered we can give some insight, but that appears the issue. Not the PTSD.

With that it is just platitudes.

It may hurt to put it out here but the forum is anonymous and you would not believe (seriously) some of the stuff we have been through and come out the other side.

Love to help.

Terry
