Just want to add that I could never give up on him, even if our relationship at times could be considered toxic. And I feel that way because those "toxic" moments, that's not him talking, that's his depression, his PTSD, but never him. I've seen the real him, and he never talks to me in a negative manner unless he's just dealing with things he doesn't know how to handle, like triggers and depression. I'll never give up on him because I know the man he is.

And I try not to push, though I can't say I'm successful at that either. It's hard knowing the person you love doesn't want to talk to you. It's even harder not to try and push those feelings out of him. But I know him, and I know how he repsonds to that, so in an attempt to combat that, I just try not to do it.
