I was never able to keep a relationship because of my anger and my lack of trust.

I've been in several relationships.

I've been married three times to some very beautiful women,

but you know, I never was able to keep a relationship

because of my anger and my lack of trust.

Immediately when something goes wrong into a relationship,

which no relationship is ever perfect, but with me,

when something goes wrong in a relationship,

my original concept before I went to PTSD treatment was that

something was going wrong, and if it wasn't fixed right away

it was going to be destroyed, I need to get rid of it.

Anger built up in me, and sooner or later

the relationship went to waste.

And it doesn't mean necessarily that my spouse

or my significant other was doing anything wrong.

It was my inability to not really want to trust someone.
