new partners anxiety

[Shakur1980]

have you ever stuck by a new partner who's working through some past trauma, has severe anxiety and ptsd and has texted abit less than usual? if they're scared of becoming vulnerable to a new person and of falling in love and having it ripped away from them again? success stories of giving your partner space please and how you have them space☺️ tia

**and how you 'gave' them space

A new partner?
How new?
Actually a partner or in fact a boyfriend/person you've recently started dating?

Has your new partner asked for space? Or are they not responding to your messages? Or, are they just not initiating messaging you?

Sounds like one of my exes. He turned out to be the most untrustworthy man I've dated.

If you’re in a relatively new relationship and need space, you should not be in a new relationship. The new partner needs professional support and OP you aren’t qualified but in danger of contributing to a dynamic that is healthy to either of you.

Are you a "rescuer", op? Why does putting your own needs into the background and supporting someone else to your own detriment appeal to you? Saviour/martyr complex? Or do you not feel like you deserve a fully rounded relationship?

Sounds like too much baggage

Your boyfriend sounds self indulgent. He has you posting on here asking how to cope with his lack of texting and you'll been together a very short while....

I have PTSD. When I'm stressed or in need of space I articulate it like a grown-up, reassure my boyfriend and do something that helps me. I don't make him guess/manipulate those less contact.

I had a partner last year who, after a short time, started going AWOL for days on end. He used to re-appear with excuses of 'his head was a mess'. Turned out he was an alcoholic and was on a bender.
My point is, its usually not a good sign!
