jeopardizing
Putting at stake
Jeopardizing is putting something at risk of harm, loss, or failure.
The word implies that something valuable—a relationship, career, safety, or opportunity—faces danger because of an action or circumstance: He's jeopardizing his health by refusing to see a doctor.
Don't jeopardize everything we've built.
