Here is an excerpt:
New research by Peel and Caltabiano, published in the most recent issue of the quarterly journal, Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy, discusses reasons we self-sabotage love. Note, romantic self-sabotage refers to the use of self-destructive actions in romantic relationships intended to “impede success or withdraw effort and justify failure.”
