Commitment is a process and it can shake people's heads a bit especially with men. I saw a movie just this morning titled Up in the air starring George Clooney and there's one scene there from where his sister's fiancée decided to back out to their wedding day. Have you witness one? Have you encountered a certain feeling from where you feel like settling down is not meant for you and you should back out?

Well I settled down about 10 years ago.. and it was a very smooth and easy process for me. I guess that's because I was very ready for it, and so was my husband. Neither of us are the type who are afraid of commitment.. we both wanted something serious and long term. We moved in together within 2 months of dating.. we had children within our first year together, then we got married after we'd been dating and living together for 2 years. This year we'll have been married 8 years, together 10 years, have 5 kids.. and we've never seriously thought about backing out.

That's sweet. You both were lucky to have each other. I can't think of any feeling but to envy you guys. I think I'm so good in committing to somebody for a long period of time.

Oops! I have to correct myself. I mean I'm not so good in commitment.

You're just not ready for it yet. You will be, someday.

i fear that after marriage my husband would find someone else and have extramarital affairs or worse, he will take the family forgranted and leave us for another woman. cheating and betrayal is my worst fear.
