how to stop sabotaging your relationships

:: 0 Comments :: Article Rating :: love, relationships, guest blogger 		 
  • Do you feel your partners value some of your behaviors at the beginning of a relationship but reject you for those same behaviors over time?
  • When your partners begin to complain about those behaviors, do you tend to be defensive and dismiss their concerns?
  • Do you find yourself stubbornly clinging to certain behavior patterns even when you feel you are pushing your partners away by continuing to do them?
  • Do you believe that your other qualities are so special that your partners should not hold you accountable for those that he or she doesn't like?
  • When your relationships end do you usually feel unfairly rejected and confused?
