Top reasons we sabotage first dates or a relationship


Top reasons we sabotage first dates or a relationship
1.     Fear

We want someone in our life but we also do not wish to be hurt, scammed, or dumped so we are in the wrong frame of mind from the first moment we meet someone in person therefore we don’t get past the first date.
 
2.     Judgment

We judge the next possible life partner by previous partners who didn’t work out, whether their fault or our own. Those who can’t forget their past failed relationships for the right reason unconsciously set the first date up for failure with someone new.
 
3.     Independence

We are afraid we may have to give up some or all of our independence. This is especially true for women.
 
4.     Habits

We aren’t willing to give up any possibly offensive (to others) habit(s), like smoking tobacco, we have formed while single or over our lifetime even if it means losing or missing out on our true soul mate.
 
5.     Sharing (Selfishness)

Some of us are just not willing to share our ‘stuff’ or maybe anything else we consider our ‘own’ property or personal space. ANY relationship is about 'sharing' even if it's just a roommate or co-driver situation.
 
6.     Money

Some people today live by the rule, “What’s yours is yours and what’s mine is mine”. Others hold to “What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine”. So many of us are tight fisted with our money and then there are those who are too liberal. An otherwise perfectly matched union can be separated off and on or permanently due to money issues.

(Borrowed comment)
By recognizing the cycle of destruction in sabotaging relationships, we can identify the problem, rather than the symptom, and begin to move forward. It is possible to have a healthy, happy relationship.

(My conclusion)
Compromise is not an easy task for some people but if we are not willing to compromise, we are likely going to either live alone forever or have failed relationships, one after the other. Some people end up getting a pet and stop trying to have a human relationship. And there are people who simply love themselves so much they have decided to remain single. It is possible for each of us to have a true "soul mate" relationship while retaining and holding onto our own identity, self respect and space.
