    Hi Bernadette,

    Well, you have always managed to (historically) get into new relationships, right? Five relationships is nothing to sneeze at and five long term relationships is nothing to sneeze at either. Which shows you can attract love and you can “do” relationships well enough for them to be long term. So it’s not “you”, it’s more the guys you’re picking.

    You need to find higher quality fellows, that’s all.

    My DH has high blood pressure. I put him on the Mediterranean Diet. Are you taking the meds for it?

    Best,

    Inky

    DearĀ  kadija:

    I read most of your posts since September 2013. This is my understanding:

    Reads like your choice of men is not the best, but there is a behavior on your part that will make a healthy relationship with any man, even a loving, decent man unlikely.

    You wrote on Sept 6, 2013: “My bf use to tell me …I fight over small things, I get angry over minor issues and I keep going on and on and rewind the past too much…I am very ashame to say that when im angry and frustrated with my bf I get into a state were I thrash his things and fall into fits of tears, I don’t know if things get too much for me”.

    Sept 26, 2013: “I see myself always trying to please people, until I have enough and break down….At times he will tell me he loves me but that im not a good person cause when im angry with I smashes his stuff out of frustration, yes ive done these things a couple of times…sometimes I damages things to vent my anger”.

    Your pattern with men is that you do and do and do for them and then you get angry. When you get angry all hell breaks loose. You go on and on … and on, about how much you do for them andĀ  how they do nothing or very little for you in return. You break stuff, kick them out, and then you wonder why your relationships don’t last.

    Again, the couple of guys you describe don’t readĀ  to me like a good choice, but with your pattern of behavior, a loving relationship is simply not possible with any man.

    Hi Anita

    i guess I keep picking the wrong guys who does very little for me, guys who expects a lot from me and rarely show appreciation. Ā  Of course I am a loving and caring person, and with the right type of loving guy I could have a loving relationship.

    t’s just that I keep falling for the same type of man over and over again. Ā I have stopped dating because I always see myself with man who’s got truckload of problems, it seems I attract them like magnet.

    I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. I know from personal experience anxiety can lead down a very unhealthy path and really do a number on your health. One of the best ways to cope with anxiety for me was getting a dog. Adopted an older one, 4 yrs old, and he did so much for my health! Forced me to go on walks And get out there! Self love came along the way as well getting more into faith. Having routines and a church also helped my anxiety.

    Dear Khadija,

    I am new to this forum as I have just joined tinnybuddha today.

    My feeling about the issue that you are facing is that there seem to be lot of focus on the behavioursof others rather than examining your own style of interaction. You are certainly investing a lot by doing many good things for others but it seems that your own expectation in return are also very high from them. When these expectations are not met you change into angry person breaking things etc. This might be resulting into disenchantment in other.

    This sort of attitude is perceived as self-centredness. The fact is that in any relationship Ā respect, trust & love are to be earned and not demanded. I am sue ou will examine this aspect without any prejudice.

    Dear kadija:

    In my last post to you I wrote to you: “Your pattern with men is that you do and do and do for them and then you get angry. When you get angry all hell breaks loose. You go on and on … and on, about how much you do for them andĀ  how they do nothing or very little for you in return. You break stuff, kick them out, and then you wonder why your relationships don’t last.”

    I based what I wrote on reading most of your posts since September 2013. I gave you these quotes: “I fight over small things, I get angry over minor issues and I keep going on and on and rewind the past too much…I am very ashame to say that when im angry and frustrated with my bf..I thrash his things and fall into fits of tears…sometimes I damages things to vent my angerā€.

    In your reply to me, following that post, you wrote: “i guess I keep picking the wrong guys who does very little for me, guys who expects a lot from me and rarely show appreciation. Ā  Of course I am a loving and caring person, and with the right type of loving guy I could have a loving relationship s just that I keep falling for the same type of man over and over again.”

    You conveniently closed your eyes to what you do wrongĀ  in the relationships (with men, perhaps you have done so with your children as well), and focus on the idea that you get involved with the wrongĀ  guys. The suggestion perhaps is that if the man was decent then you wouldn’tĀ  get angry and you won’t go on and on andĀ  on about how much you do for him, how ungrateful he is, how he gives you nothing in return.. and break his things.

    Problem is, there is no … right man who will appreciate you enough, reciprocate enough. Your pattern with the right man, asĀ  with the wrong man, wouldĀ  beĀ  to do and do, clean and cook and so forth, and then explode in rage. This is your pattern, your behavior, and itĀ  is for you to own.

    Any and all comfort on the part of the man (or an unfortunate child in this situation) brought about by a warm meal and aĀ  clean house, all that evaporates and is gone in the distress of your rage and aggression.
