The irony is that fear of commitment may mask a desperate desire for the intimacy and security that comes from a healthy long-term relationship.
It may be that, deep down, the person fears being rejected themselves or feels that the consequences of a future relationship breakdown will be all the worse the more time they invest in that relationship.
Maybe they have experienced feeling trapped in a relationship before or perhaps they have a history of painful breakups, of hurting and being hurt. Or they may have witnessed the rocky relationships of parents and have the 'blueprint' that 'no relationship ever works out'.
The next few blogs will dig into fear of commitment and what can be done about it.
To your relationship bliss,
