Do you try and end something before its ended for fear of rejection?

A romantic relationship is cooling down from the honeymoon phase you panic and end the relationship.

Your on probation at a new job, when you notice the new staff commodity has worn off you panic it's because they don't like you. Suddenly you start looking for a new job. And leave.

I have a friend who goes through relationships like this..she freaks out after the romance has worn off and starts making their life hell until they leave and she's "proved right"

@ZenKitzune I guess but how many people actually read about relationship progression. You're not given a manual. Most people feel their way through things as she is. Obviously you recognize she has an issue that could be addressed which I don't think she does as again there's that stigma about therapy isn't there... so I guess she would need to deal with it or continue with the heartbreak.

@Peppa If something is screwing up your life..it's probably worth looking into.

@ZenKitzune but your friend hasn't come to that stage yet. No matter how painful it is for your to watch. "You can bring a horse to water but you can't force him to drink it!!!" Heard that one...?

No. I'm a great believer in playing things out - trying to hide from a possible rejection is just assuming you're going to fail, and forcing yourself to fail.
