Created as a space for personal reflection — not therapy or diagnosis.
When something ends, you find yourself replaying what you did.
Going over the moment you said the wrong thing, pushed too hard, needed too much.
And the conclusion you keep arriving at is: it was me.
The short answer
The belief that you ruin relationships is a story — and like most self-critical stories, it's partial. It captures some truth and leaves out the rest. More useful than 'I ruined it' is 'here's the pattern that keeps appearing and what it's about.'
What specifically do you think you do that ends things — and has anyone ever actually told you that, or is it a conclusion you drew yourself?

What this reflection can reveal
the difference between taking responsibility and taking all blame
a recurring behavior pattern versus a fixed character flaw
what you do when you feel insecure in a relationship
whether you believe you deserve good relationships
what you'd need to believe about yourself for this pattern to change
You feel preemptively guilty in relationships — braced to make a mistake.
You say sorry often, sometimes before you know if you did anything wrong.
When things end, you immediately assume it was your fault.
You find it easier to see your flaws than your qualities in a relationship context.
An example reflection
This is one illustrative example. Your own reflection draws three cards unique to your moment — nothing here is fixed or predicted.

Sudden disruption and collapse (The Tower) has led to suspension and enforced reconsideration (The Hanged Man) — The Star suggests that healing, clarity, and renewed hope are genuinely available on the other side.
People contribute to relationship endings — sometimes significantly. But 'ruining' implies a one-sided causation that's almost never accurate. Relationships end because of dynamics, not villains. If you consistently feel responsible, that's worth examining — not because you're blameless, but because total responsibility is rarely true.
Why do I always blame myself when relationships end?
Self-blame is often a form of control — if it was your fault, you could have prevented it, which means future relationships are in your hands. It's more tolerable than 'sometimes things end and it has nothing to do with your worth.' The latter is scarier even though it's closer to the truth.
How do I stop sabotaging my relationships?
Start by getting precise about what 'sabotage' actually means in your case. What specifically happens, and when? The word 'sabotage' is a story; the behavior underneath is specific and changeable. Once you can see the exact moment and the exact response, you have something to work with.
