I've always held on to this belief that humans are organic machines, just like how mechanical machines need to vent so they don't get overheated we need it too! I can only offer that relationships are work. It takes alot of work for any relationship to last, and the longer the relationship the more it takes. Maybe you just haven't met someone who you can work with yet. Don't close yourself off to possibilities. Don't think just because youhave issues you aren't worthy or capable of having one. I'm sure all your foibles make you a very interesting person with a unique viewpoint on things.
