Dear Tabitha,
Is it possible that the death of your father is the root cause? There's an old theory that in healthy families, our first loves are our parents of the opposite sex. When your dad died at your young, precious age of 5, you'd lost your first love; he left you. Clearly, I don't know your circumstances... but justs offering a theory -- which furthers itself by saying we recreate those patterns in the partners we select. Hence, you might've unconsciously wound up selecting partners who would inevitably leave you.
You also mentioned the placebo effect which fascinates me..... in fact, I'm going to start a thread on that.
