I find myself watching everything they do, everyone they talk to, for I am sure that they are 'up to something'. Most of the time I do find something that I can imagine or latch onto that they are not being faithful to me. If I do not find anything, I begin to imagine that they are.
The beginning stages of a relationship I can handle. Once we are married, I change. Then I let them see me rage, and as hard as I try to keep these feelings inside, they come out in odd ways. I begin to pluck my eyebrows out, I can't stop ruminating about what they are "planning" to do to me, I have hideous pain in my arm and shoulder which no doctor can tell me what it is from....
I refuse to accept blame for the demise of these relationships. I am a good man, they have lost me.
So I find another that I think will not trigger my intense emotions. I don't know how else to describe it.

I this is called the IDD cycle. Going from Idealization (thinking they're a gift from God), to Devaluation (finding that they aren't perfect in every way and have faults, beginning to think they're horrible, "painting them black" if you will), to Discard (you leave).
It's a viscous but common BPD cycle.
