I sabotaged my last relationship. Almost everyday I got upset at whatever he did and I realized now it's because I haven't healed. He was a great man I can admit that; quite understanding, responsible, mature literally ticked all the boxes. He grew up around healthy marriages where if there was a problem they would communicate while in my family there would be arguments and fights everyday. I was told to talk to a therapist and I tried 2 but they haven't helped one bit. I still hope we rekindle in the future

Self-sabotage is so harmful I can't even tell. I feel that in my case there is a fear of abandonment at the base for that. At least, that is what came out from my therapist. The thing that surprises me the most is that, apparently, I tend to self-sabotage potential relationships before they even turn romantic. Probably for fear of rejection and for fear of being vulnerable. I am not even sure whether that is a thing that has ever been researched It was an interesting topic! Your videos keep helping me in this journey of self-development. You are amazing!

This has been very helpful for me. I just went thru a breakup and realized we both contributed to the failure. We both had trouble proactively working on problems, which led to her becoming uncommitted and me pretending the relationship was better than it actually was. In the end, she left me even though I was still committed. I wish I could go back with what I know now, but I know I needed to go thru this to learn and grow. Hopefully next time will be better.

My guess is that it was terrifying to have that relationship, knowing there was a possibility it could end. I would also guess that at least once a nasty little voice in the back of your mind told you she was way too good for you and any minute now she would leave. The only way to control the outcome in those circumstances is to leave her, or to treat her like garbage until she leaves, and you can at least feel like you were right all along.

My ex-fiancée of 4 years would tell me they wanted quality time, then when I made plans or hung out with them they were always on their phone. They never really wanted the quality time, and self sabotaged the relationship. No amount of gifts, touch, words of affirmation (would say I said I love you too much and she felt pressured to say it back, weird behavior), acts of service, etc were never good enough for her. I ended it because it was getting to the point where my own sanity was starting to unwind. They can figure it out and sort through their own issues, but it deeply pains me knowing how much I still love them.

Oh yesh...these silly annoying feelings we all dont like about ourselves 😂😭 Dr. Ana, thank you for making this video ❤ It helps to hear you talk about the concepts and ways to go about with it. I say that because I am many of some that didnt have a loving father who was a narcissist parent and who didnt know to communicate nor work with my mom. Then I get myself into relationships with men who blame me for making them feel a sort of kind of way of themselves because I didn't know how to communicate. So I took the blame because that's how I'm conditioned. But no more! I'm happily in a beautiful relationship with a man I got very lucky to catch via dating apps. Communication is key and to know how to practice on communiting is incredibly challenging. It's not part of most individuals' language landscape. It's literally re-programming your mind to respond differently to a romantic dilemma. Mental workout baby 🤸♀️🤸🤸♂️ Much love to anyone who is finally able to speak gracefully on their own behalf ❤

I've never even been in a romantic relationship lol, but now that I'm nearing 30 I feel like I'm really missing out and I guess there's an underlying reason behind the fact that I've always considered love not worthy of my attention...? I'm not aro/ace, so that's probably some kind of negative stereotype or something along those lines. Moreover, I come from a country with a pretty homophobic government which has desided to lash out on LGBTQ+ people, so exploring my needs in a relationship as a bisexual is kinda difficult atm 😅 For everyone who's interested in this topic I really recommend a TV show called "Couples Therapy". It has really opened my eyes on some of the negative behaviors that people unconsciously engage in. A must watch, I'd say.

My partner doesnt tell me somethings, like she doesnt tell me whats shes doing very much, even if I ask wyd, she doesnt share as much as I want to know and i dont know how to communicate that without it being a self sabatage-like situation. And its a long distance relationship. So im ignoring my feelings about it and just going to settle for this for now cause i know i can be overthinking sometimes. But theres something about this person that i fundamentally dont trust and it sucks cause i dont know how to rebuild trust, especially with how she communicates. Makes me feel miserable sometimes, because i dont always have trust issues in the past, its just with certain people who communicate poorly, or kinda superficially.

Acceptance (number 5 in the video) for me and maybe for some others reading is we have to accept our partners expression of love even though we don't see it in ourselves or we feel we don't deserve it. People will love us for reasons we will never understand and have to accept and trust the feelings our partners have are genuine in order to continue and maintain a healthy relationship without self sabotaging. I pray to whoever is watching this video and myself that we will find a partner that makes us feel safe, secure, and loved.

Self-sabotage is definitely a problem for me, but for far more complicated reasons. My first crush died in a car accident when I was 13, and that alone has made it hard for me to trust anyone. I feel like everyone around me is deluded by rom-com logic, and I'm the only person who knows the truth. I see some overly happy couple, and all I see are two people who don't understand that it all ends in death anyway. Everyone I fall in love with is unavailable, and those who are available are so naive that I can't stand them. I'm 32 now, and I'm at that point where I'm ready to give up and say that my first crush is the closest I'll ever have to a real relationship. It sucks, but it looks more realistic as time passes.

I'm the sabotager it's because I feel stuck. I am a very communicative person but my partner angry issues get in the way of me wanting to be vulnerable with him because I just get yelled at or I get petty and rude comments from him if I ever feel bad about something between us. I'm not complaining about him but some things he does trigger me and when I take the time to open up, it feels like he is closing his doors on me and start being defensive which make me want to not talk to him. I don't know how to get some support from him instead of feeling like he's against me. it's hard for me to believe he loves me when he says it afterwards.

Unfortunately I think my own dad does most of the things that are talked about in this video... like it's been months since I started to question his attitudes, to the point of wondering if he really loved me and my sister - maybe he's ""just"" sabotaging it all without realising. The inferiority complex, the "checklist" (this one I think that has a lot to do with sexism too, idk it just feels like any woman in my dad's life that doesn't/ didn't "play the role correctly" of a mother/wife/sister/daughter isn't worth of anything), the story of being hurt once... it's crazy. I'm now in the work of healing myself, but as I'm still living with him, I try my best to talk but he takes any criticism as a personal attack, saying that I'm poisoning and ruining everything... it's tiring, he thinks that he's always right. So now I'll focus on myself and avoid repeating his mistakes in my own relationships... or should I keep trying to talk with him? Anyways, it's been a while since I first watched your vids, they showed up for me in almost divine timing as I was already deep into a moment of reflection lmao Seriously, your channel has helped me to understand so much...

I notice that one of the methods of sabotage is clinging to your partner, but one of the solutions to sabotage is commitment. It seems that in some situations, there's some level of conflict between these ideas. For example, let's say that your relationship finishes the honeymoon phase after 1 year together. Shortly after you begin experiencing conflict with your partner. Your partner quickly comes to the conclusion that the relationship will not work out perhaps because this their first or second time experiencing this. They then express their desire to end the relationship. In this situation, it seems that putting effort into sustaining the relationship at this point demonstrates both commitment and clingyness. What would be an appropriate balance in this situation? Or am I missing something important by posing this question and example?
@majoritypatella2503 Жыл бұрын
My 2c. Commitment is good, but how you do that matters. I see clingyness as being akin to overly-attached. Additionally, the dialogue should be open between your partner, and if they want to leave the relationship it could be discussed, but ultimately you should respect their decision regardless if you think their reasoning or current experience is flawed. You cannot directly provide them with growth, they must provide that for themselves. Anything else, might suggest you have some kind of saviour complex or "i can fix them" mentality, which I think would be unhealthy.

Seeing a therapist can often help with this, depending on where the issues lie. This will in turn improve your confidence. You don't need her to be happy! Getting broken up with is hard, be kind to yourself.

How do you know if you're sabotaging a relationship vs the relationship just isn't right for you?

I really liked her and when she didn't text me after a week I sent her a message to get her to reject me, which she didn't respond to. I think this was an attempt to intentionally sabotage the connection. I didn't even know if she had my number or got my message before I did that. I hadn't slept well in two weeks due to a housing situation and had to move. After I moved and got some sleep I was shocked by my behavior and regretted it. I felt so much shame that when she ran into me many times after that and said my name I didn't try to repair the situation. I was only 21 and was not myself.

I want to hear about why outsiders might sabotage your relationships with others- including friendships.

don't get into a relationship thinking it's going to be permenent, because it probably won't.
