I'll try to keep this as brief as I can but I'm not good at that.

My fiance and I have been together nearly 6 years. We want to go back to school and have money issues so we've decided to move back in with his mother.

Thankfully, his mother's home is huge.

Unfortuneately, this home has terrible memories.

My fiance(Trevor) was physically abused in this home growing up by his father. Of course, that terrible man is no longer here, but Trevor still has these memories.

Because of these memories he of course will feel fearful at certain times, when he sees something or hears something that triggers things from the past.

It was really bad tonight, so much that he was having trouble sleeping. I promised him that id stay awake for him and watch over him to keep him safe. There's been once or twice where he's awoken and looked at me with terrified eyes, but I'm doing my best to keep him okay. It's almost 6 am now and I'm going to keep watching him.

I love him so much. I just needed to do this for him, even if it is a bit insane. Sometimes our men need protection and reassurance too, and that's okay
