Everyone fears the loss of love. Some people will start to sabotage because the relationship is progressing to a more emotionally intimate stage and they're just very scared to get close to someone. They're afraid that they're not going to be enough. This person is going to see me for who I am and they're not going to like it and they're going to leave me. And so the sabotage is let me provoke them to end it so that I don't have to look like the bad guy or I don't have to get my feelings hurt.
