I have had several unsuccessful relationships.
Most of them seem doomed to denegerate to pointless bickering over nothing at all.
My Last relationship ended when I snapped at started screaming at my girlfriend because she was berating me about something very minor.

I have way to much pride to have anyone pass their place with me and talk to me as if I'm a child therefore it seems my best bet is to simply not engage in any relationship that will lead to down that path.

I mean I wouldn't want to live with my own habits why should I reasonably ask anyone else to?

I know that feeling -- however nothing is static. Medication combined with working with a really good theapist helped me change in some very positive ways, so that I a positive additions to my husband and children's lives! It also helped me rediscover what is positive about me -- it's easy to lose sight of that.

ScatteredI really don't think I have lost sight of anything. Theres a ADD partners support forum here for gods sake.
When I say I got angry I mean I literally could have hit her.
That's not a road I ever intend to walk down.
I mean it's easy to just gamble with relationships when I'm the only one affected but that's not the case.

Also ADD runs in the males in my family.
I want kids but it would seem irresponsible to have a child and immediately burden them with having to cope with something I knew about before their birth.

No offense intended. I was trying to be encouraging and I apologize if I came across badly. All I meant to suggest was that however bad things are right now, improvement down the road is possible. I respect you for taking the steps necessary to avoid violence. I wish more people would act this responsibly.

ScatteredDon't take my sp**** wording as me taking offense, I think I have taken a rational look at this and it may be my best option.

I'd like to know if anyone else has made a similar decision and what was the results.

I chose to be alone in the past for a duration.
I view my need (I'm only talking about my need for solice) to be alone in the past, as a way for introspection..as a way for my learning more about myself, and trying to heal my mind and soul. It certainly didn't seem like that at the time...I just wanted to be alone, that's all I 'saw' it at the time. (0:
