Alter has a boyfriend

[Conundrum]

We don't start off with the DID. I have told people I have PTSD; they understand that better. If you become serious that would be the time it explains.

Anxiety is the cornerstone of PTSD and DID is at the extreme end of the continuum. So, by telling a person you have PTSD you could just say that you are having a bad day if you are not in the mood to be kissed.

Grey would put us in situations where she would take interest in a guy and then disappear. So we no longer date. Grey has matured and is more willing to work with us.

Thank you!  Those are great suggestions.  It is easier for others to understand PTSD than DID.  Rosie may be willing to back off a bit but I do not know how the boyfriend will respond to that. Thank you so much for the suggestions!
