Are You Subconsciously Sabotaging Your Love Life?

Are You Subconsciously Sabotaging Your Love Life?

June 02, 20252 min read

You say you want love. You’re putting yourself out there. You’re doing the work.

So why do relationships keep falling apart?

If you’ve ever found yourself in the same frustrating cycles—dating unavailable men, pushing away good ones, or feeling like love just never works for you—there’s a chance you might be sabotaging your own love life. (Without even realizing it!)

What Does Self-Sabotage in Dating Look Like?

🚩 You Find Flaws in Every Man You Meet.
– He’s great, but… he texts with too many emojis. His laugh is annoying. His outfits? Meh. (Sis, are these real issues—or are you just looking for an exit?)

🚩 You Always Have One Foot Out the Door.
– The moment things start to feel serious, you find a reason to pull back. Maybe you get busy at work. Maybe you start questioning if you even want a relationship right now.

🚩 You Attract Emotionally Unavailable Men (Again and Again).
– If you keep choosing men who can’t commit, it’s worth asking: Are you picking them because deep down, you don’t want to commit either?

🚩 You Say You Want Love, but You Don’t Make Time for It.
– Your schedule is packed, your life is full, and honestly? Dating is something you do when you have time. (But if you don’t prioritize it, how can it ever work?)

🚩 You Assume the Worst Before It Even Happens.
– “Men always leave.” “Relationships never last.” “If I get too excited, I’ll just be disappointed.” (Are these facts… or fears?)

Where Does Self-Sabotage Come From?

💭 Past heartbreak – You’re protecting yourself from pain before it even happens.
💭 Fear of losing control – Love requires vulnerability, and that’s uncomfortable when you’re used to running the show.
💭 Deep-seated beliefs about love – If you grew up seeing unstable relationships, your brain might associate love with struggle.

How to Stop Standing in Your Own Way

💡 1. Recognize When You’re Acting from Fear, Not Reality.
– Are you rejecting him because he’s not a good fit—or because you’re scared to get too close?

💡 2. Start Letting Love In—Slowly.
– You don’t have to dive in headfirst. Just practice staying present instead of running.

💡 3. Be Honest About What You Actually Want.
– If love is something you truly desire, then make space for it. Emotionally. Mentally. In your schedule. In your heart.
