Well I'm a 44 year old man divorced twice with one son. All of my ex`s say I'm the problem and now I believe it. I don't argue and I don't like to deal with hard issues. My ex mother in law (ordained minister) is telling me that its OK to argue with your spouse in the proper way, and I'm sure is correct but I run and hide if it comes to that. My mother and I when she was alive were very argumentative and spent many years not talking. I was also told that she was very hard on me and not to my brother. And now I fine myself all alone (my choice) in order to avoid conflict. I'm very popular with the ladies and I want a long lasting relationship but I think I sabotage them all. Not to mention I think I'm making stupid decisions so I won't have to deal with anything. I have an appointment with a shrink in June... I want to feel normal. How do I fight fear of something like this?
