Relationship Stress / by willingSailboat2084

...See more Hello. Ive been with my husband for 18 years this past Monday, and married 14 1/2. Hes a Veteran with PTSD and I dont like conflict & always try not to put any stress on our relationship. My husband got upset with me on Sunday because I hid the phone from him while we were in bed. I showed him what I was watching and I told him that I was embarrassed that I caught watching porn. He was asleep and I wanted some. He tells me hiding the phone is like youre cheating on me. I told him why would you think I would do that to you? He told me that you being embarrassed by watching porn is like you dont love me. I told him Ive never been caught watching porn and it was embarrassing to get caught. He told me to pleasure myself and leave him alone. I gave him space... and since then he has not talked to me. Hes been sleeping on the couch for the past few nights and our kids are noticing. We didnt even greet each other happy anniversary on Monday. Whenever he gets upset he clams up... shuts you out. Hes done this to me many times before... doesnt talk to me. If I keep bugging him hell blow up in my face. I always feel like Im the bad person that everything is my fault. He holds everything inside and it builds up. We were doing pretty well... we would talk about what was bothering us but now he shut me out. He likes to hold grudges and I like to forgive & forget because I dont want to dwell on the past. Id rather move forward and continue to grow.
