Death of a Relationship

Once again the failure of emotion connection has found me. It seems my ability to find the happy medium in a relationship is either badly stunted or my penchant for attracting women with tortured emotional bagage is still in full swing. My own emotional devastation over the last few years has circled the wagons in my psyche against assault, both the malevolent and benevolent varieties, and while the does not seem to be one of trust, I find myself uncertain about longevity. All of the things I have placed my trust in over the last few years have come crashing down on me, in spite of careful planning and consideration. In matters of the heart, the setbacks from a career standpoint have made it extraordinarily difficult to find my bearings, and clouded my view of the future.  It's as if I every time I find my true north, someone demagnetizes my compass.
