Are you commitment phobic?

Been together with my partner for almost 7 years now. got 4 kids to show for it and still loving being together as much as we did when we first got together! So, I guess I am the homebound type. Ah, yes, we are very happy and very committed to each other and our brood.

I have my own microcosm of me ,my wife and my princess.We move around each other like the celestial planets attracted to each other.

When i was a teenage naive girl, anyone that want commitment, is a darn scary person. Even if i like him or trully fallen inlove, but when i comes to binding as one.. i scram away! I will do everything to discourage the guy, Make stupid excuses, act like a fool and all of those things to turn him off... but the more they wanted to dig out whats hidden.. and i only make things worst. Remembering those days...its just so horribly childish.. But time really do makes us ripe in place and order.. Who could have known im into a relationship committing with all of my heart for 5 years. I guess the fear of giving one's self and sacrificing for the mutuality is the reason why people avoided commitment so much. Running away wont guarantee that we already escaped. We value much of most our freedom, and thinking it would be lost if we settle down.. Common fears to tangle and embrace someone for you.. But no matter how much we hate it, when its your fate calls for the time...it would always be there. Love can wait. So as commitment, no man is an island... only time can tell for how long well hang on to be single and enjoy it to the fullest.. take care mimpi, thanks for reading!

Dedication, commitment and responsiblities are very important for me. If I have committed something either in a realtionship or otherwise, I ensure that it gets fulfilled. Either I do not make any committment...or if I do, I see to it that I do not lose track of it. It is very difficult to gauage the level of dedecation from either side or say from either of the partner. One needs to make his own judgement, based on his own perceptions and experience, in this regard. :):)

I am not entirely sure if I believe that commitment means staying with someone for life. If you are in a committed relationship, whether it's marriage, living together or even dating, as long as you and your partner are aware of what you expect from each other, you can go from there. I believe in giving 100% commitment to my marriage as in I would never consider cheating on my husband. I don't hold with people making excuses for having extramarital affairs that their partners doesn't understand them or they mentally abuse them or physically abuse them. If you're not happy with someone get out of the relationship but don't make excuses. We are living in 2007, if you're not happy and there's no way to resolve the issues, then leave. For those who make excuses that they stayed together for the kids, how much fun is it for those kids growing up in a household where the parents hated each other. Those kids are the ones who're going to grow up hating commitment and never being able to be happy in a stable relationship. I've seen it first hand in many people I know. Me personally I'm happy to be married but my husband and I give each other space to pursue our individual interests - e.g. I like reading, he hates it, he loves sport, I hate it, so we give each other our own time to enjoy our interests and we're happy that way. x

Hi mimpi1911! My husband and I are married for seven years now and before we got married, we were a steady couple for 12 years. So, I guess I don't have any commitment issues after all. haha..You might ask why we have to wait for 12 years before we tied the knot. Well, it is because we are both helping out our families first before we settled down. Take care and have a nice day.

Yes, very much. In all our aspects of life, we have to have commitment of 1. time 2. dedication 3. HOnesty 4. sincerity of purpose 5. Enthusiasm. For everyone of the above, one should have commitment, otherwise one might develop casualness and casual approach will not yield the desired results.

I use to have an ex-boyfriend who was afraid of commitment. The moment it looked like we were starting to get serious, he wanted to break up. He really hurt me but he did me a favor anyways. Thank god; he was horrible. I think I know why he was like that though. I think there is always a reason why some people are afraid of commitment.

Oh my dear, I think that I am so strong and loyal and reliable where commitments are concerned that I have grown Commitment phobic!!! It is just speaking with paradoxes..but the fact is that after many delusions and bad experiences now I find it very difficult to trust anybody or believe it possible to start something fresh and new and good. Have you ever felt like this? I am sure this is a thing I have to work on in order to sort a solution out...I discovered myself again and now I don't want other people to spoil my inner peace again..I don't know if I am clear or if this is something I can explain, but this is the truth at the moment.
