Earlier this year, the pandemic hit. We figured we would ride out the storm and wait for things to “go back to normal.” As soon as it became clear things weren’t going back to normal, we seriously considered quarantine dating.

I, along with many of my friends, have entered into new relationships!

With new relationships come challenges. With challenges come opportunities for growth. If you’re looking to sabotage your new relationship before real growth can happen, follow this advice.

While being in a happy healthy relationship sounds nice in theory, it all feels a little scary. Being alone and swiping on Tinder is much more familiar.

Based on my experience, these tips will bring back that familiar loneliness in no time!

1. Assume You Are a Good Judge of Your Partner’s Faults

When the initial excitement wears off, they’re going to be obvious. Consider if they are bad enough that you need to break up. Don’t worry about the fact that you have a history of self-sabotage and are probably searching for a reason to be alone since that’s what you’re used to.
