20 Signs You Might be Self-Sabotaging Your Relationship

What is self-sabotage in relationships and why do people do it? Self-sabotage is when a person, consciously or subconsciously, engages in acts that destroy, ruin, or diminish the relationships they are in. In essence, the obstacles in the relationship are self-created. Why people sabotage relationships is a little more complex. For some, it could be a deep fear of intimacy, vulnerability, or abandonment, for others it may be a repeating of old patterns or imposter syndrome. Discovering why is at the root of ending self-sabotaging behavior, which can take many forms.

For those who are wondering if you or someone you love is self-sabotaging relationships, I’m going to review twenty self-sabotaging behaviors that ruin relationships. I personally struggled with these when I was a single dater, now as a Dating Coach, I want to help create a roadmap for anyone who’s wondering what self-sabotaging looks like so that they can overcome their sabotaging behavior and strive to have healthy, thriving relationships.

In this interview with VICE I share the 4 questions I believe every person should ask themselves before getting married. Swipe 👈 to read the article! 

One of them is about something most couples never talk about until it’s too late. Another has to do with what your body is already telling you about your relationship. 👀

Thank you to Sammi Caramela and VICE for helping share this conversation. If you’re engaged, thinking about it, or just curious whether you’re with your person, this one’s for you.
