Sometimes we don't even realize how we get in our own way in love and in life. You could easily be self-sabotaging your relationship, yet not understanding why your partner is upset, angry, confused, or even pulling away. Pay attention to your actions. Are you sending out the wrong signals or making choices that push or hurt your partner unintentionally?
These 10 signs say you might be self-sabotaging your relationship.
01
You overthink everything that happens between the two of you instead of communicating how you feel. You end up feeling alone.
02
You don't feel good enough, so you look to your partner to confirm you are. You must believe in yourself.
03
You run away when you've got problems instead of looking to your partner for help. You make your partner feel shut out and hurt.
04
Instead of talking face to face, you're relying on texting, causing miscommunication. Talking in person prevents fights.
05
You can't let go of past doubt and fear, so you let it follow you into your new relationship. The past can't be rewritten.
06
You don't show how you feel — you hide your cards, leaving your partner surprised at your "sudden moods."
07
You haven't said goodbye to an ex-love. Let the person go so the new relationship can thrive.
08
You aren't comfortable with your body so you leave the lights off or squirm in bed. It puts a space between the two of you.
09
Your work is so important, so much so that your partner is not. Your struggle to balance is killing the two of you.
