Partnerships are scary when you commit. Accepting something so severe and brutal is difficult and makes commitments harder. In family-oriented cultures, men and women are pressured to comply. They should weigh the pros and cons of any serious relationship and be ready before committing. These 7 men describe why they avoid commitments to demonstrate the doubts and difficulties men have when choosing a relationship.
Commitment is big to me. No true relationship has existed for me, despite short flings and flirtations. Perhaps that's why I'm not ready. I need time to figure out my life, but when I can take care of myself, I can take care of my girl.
My relationship fear isn't commitment. What if she rejects me worries me more? Who tells what happened. Just like I'm afraid to express my sentiments, I'm sure she has a lot on her mind, and I don't want to pay the price.
This is the start of our relationship. I guess we haven't acquired that level of trust yet after two months of dating. I suppose waiting is to observe how everything unfolds at the correct moment when a friendship develops. It beats regretting later.
I never thought much about commitment. Right now, I appreciate my independence and not having to ask permission for everything. In summary, I don't want a meaningful relationship to weigh me down. I'll cooperate when the moment is right.
I have few needs, yet meeting my partner's expectations exhausts me. Her expectations are too high. I hesitate to commit because I fear I can't meet them.
Several of my friends and family are married. Every story I hear is one of regret and guilt. Many devoted people have told me their tales. It sounds appealing. Although I realize that humans pout at the prospect of ‘What if’, I don't want to think about it yet.
My relationship with my partner is still at its beginning since I believe commitment comes with progress. It seems we've both yet to commit. I don't want to make illogical decisions till our relationship matures.
