Why Do I Continue To Mess Up My Relationships?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Florissant, CO

I am in the first relationship since the passing of my husband. I feel angry All of the time. He can't do anything right, feel insecure, very very angry. I've always had trouble with all of my relationships, I could have sworn I was ok and could be in a relationship. Why can't I have a normal relationship?

I'm so independent right now that I do not know if I could even be in a realationship right now. It has been about ten years since i have been in one. I am not looking for one right now.

It occurs to me that you may be subconsciously comparing him to your former husband and that is why it seems like he "can't do anything right". Since we can't change people, it might help to try to approach his behavior without judging it as right or wrong. If it would please you for him to do something in a different way, you can make that suggestion and talk about it. But you also have the responsibility as his partner to meet him halfway. What are you willing to change as far as your expectations in order that your relationship can be healthier? As much as possible, try to love and accept him as he is, without conditions. You will both be happier.
