Yes, definitely. I had extremely low-self esteem which came out as paranoia that my [ex] bf had another girlfriend/s and he was gonna leave me, all the time. I was snappy, jealous and upset all the time.

That was my first serious relationship, that lasted 6 years.

Of course, with an attitude like that a man can only take so much. Not saying he was a saint either, but I would say that it was slightly more my fault that caused most of the problems in our relationship (his problem was drinking - I won't go into that/the others.)

Actually him dumping me was the best thing to ever happen to me. I learned how to control my emotions and thoughts better. I don't have such low self esteem about myself anymore, and eventually I met my partner - and we are much more compatible in ideas, lifestyle (we don't drink), interests etc, etc.
