“I sabotage every good relationship”
What could be going on
Fearful-avoidant attachment: Fits if you want closeness but panic once you have it; check when the urge to ruin starts.
Sabotages near success: Check whether you also undo things near success at work or in other goals.
Defectiveness/shame schema: Fits if part of you believes you don't deserve good love and waits to be found out.
Abandonment/instability schema: Fits if you leave or provoke first so you're not the one left.
Self-verification: Steady love may clash with how you see yourself; check whether chaos feels more familiar.
Repetition compulsion: Check whether the way it falls apart mirrors relationships you saw growing up.
