[quote=Anonymous]My husband is retired law enforcement and does not have PTSD. I am the one who has PTSD. Some people can cope with things and deal with them in ways that do not affect their lives. My husband is always cheerful, always fun, mellow, never raises his voice, is quick to apologize if he feels that he's in the wrong, he's great with our kids, he's loving and caring with me, and we've been together for almost 9 years. He just retired 6 months ago. He's always been this way. I, on the other hand, am the one who has to be careful with triggers. My husband has dealt with a lot of people who have PTSD, so he is very helpful to me. OP, if he's talking, which is unusual,  find out what his triggers are. You need to know if you're going to be in a relationship with him. I also suggest that when you wake him, do not do it suddenly, and do nothing more than touch his foot lightly. Stay away from his arms while he's sleeping if you're trying to wake him. Sleep is one of our worst times.  [/quote]
