3 Zodiac Signs That Tend To Self-Sabotage Their Romantic Relationships

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, your sign tends to value freedom and independence over absolutely everything. You have a habit of sabotaging anything that threatens your personal freedom; this can sometimes make serious relationships feel especially claustrophobic to you. Even when things are going well for you, as soon as your brain recognizes the fact that you’re catching feelings, it might want to shut things down fast. The arrival of a committed relationship usually means giving up a little bit of your independence – you can no longer spontaneously make major decisions at the drop of a hat, and being ‘responsible’ for your relationship with another person can be scary for you.

In order to stop yourself from sabotaging your relationships, you’ll first need to find a partner who can understand (and appreciate) your need for independence. It’s okay to need space sometimes – but acknowledging that compromise is important in any relationship is also important for you, Sagittarius. You’ll need to acknowledge your behaviors and expect your feelings to fluctuate as soon as you feel ‘trapped’ within a relationship; this may help you avoid sabotaging yourself in the future.

Aquarius

Aquarius, you tend to prioritize your work and hobbies over your relationships. Though you certainly have a lot of love and respect for those you care about, your sign easily becomes emotionally detached from others; you prioritize logic, not feelings. When it comes to romantic relationships, you may find yourself turned off by people who care about you, because you struggle to show the same level of reciprocity. 

Once you do emotionally detach yourself, you quickly lose feelings for your partner. The good news when it comes to relationships for you is that you’re so logical, you tend to choose partners that are genuinely a good fit for yourself. When you start sabotaging your relationships, remind yourself of why you chose your partner in the first place. Try to prioritize them in a way that still leaves you room for other parts of your life that are important to you; this can sometimes help you avoid the detachment that comes with long-term neglect.

Scorpio

Scorpio, your sign is highly intense and doesn’t trust easily. You’re also charismatic and well-liked, so it’s not difficult for you to attract a good match for yourself. The issue is that you also tend to be a naturally suspicious person; you love getting to know others and trust is important to you, but you find it extremely difficult to trust someone right away. You may feel jealous or uncertain around your partner, even when they haven’t done anything to make you feel that way. You may also find it extremely difficult to open up to your partner, out of the fear that they may eventually leave you. 

For you, it’s easier to withhold trust for the safety of your authentic identity; when your partner doesn’t truly know you, they can’t truly reject you, either. Breaking down your walls takes time and effort, and when someone is getting close to really knowing you, you may feel the need to put a stop to it by ending the relationship. Remind yourself that the biggest (and best) part of a relationship is allowing someone else to truly know you. It doesn’t take away any part of your power or identity to open up to someone; in fact, it will probably make you feel better once you do. There’s nothing wrong with letting someone get to know the real you, Scorpio; it’s the only path towards true romance.
