My husband said my CPTSD has caused his lack of empathy toward me as he has think he has compassionate fatigue.

My boyfriend went through this. It almost destroyed my relationship.

For me, it was almost like once I felt like I could ask him for comfort, I started asking for too much, like I felt like I needed to bleed this comfort for all it was worth before it was gone.

This ended in him setting a boundary, and asking me to please work out my mental health issues without him. It may seem like an extreme ask, but it was an extreme situation, and it was that or break up with me.

Because of this, I finally manage to seperate my healing from him and my relationship with him, and after earning his trust back, we are doing wonderfully.
