So I was talking to someone yesterday about relationships and being single and they said pretty much they hate commitment and would not be in another relationship...I try to understand people's views however I find myself wondering what is so scary about commitment that puts people off ever being with someone again?  |

Think there will be a myriad of reasons as varied as the different personalities we have..
for some they may have been badly hurt and don't wish to go through that again..?
would also suspect that some are so set in their ways or selfish that the thought of compromising as one does in a relationship makes them go Naa.. |

I recently became single and I definitely do not want a relationship again. Long story short I am not afraid of commitment, I just don't want to waste my time. |

"Some mixed responses...I guess it's up to the individual person....I've always been a person that does not close myself off...this reason is probably why I'm so shit at relationships lol. "
Not sure I fully understand. What do you mean by not closing yourself off? |

I think the commitment-phobes are fixed on that position until they meet the person that they can't not commit to.
How many times have you heard someone bemoan the fact that the ex-selfish bastard/bitch/other term said they didn't want to commit/live together/get married and now they are rubbing my face in them living with/marrying x?
I couldn't live with someone as I have been on my own too long - I am selfish and I don't want people using my bathroom. I could commit to the right someone. The right someone would know and understand that I don't want us to live together.

For C he was scared. There have been many things he has done in his life that are more scary but actually being in a relationship is probably the one that scares him most. For me I like being in a relationship. I need to feel wanted, loved. Plus I drive myself insane and my OCD just goes into overdrive and I clean too much all the time. |

It is entirely subjective. I've always thought I'm happy being single and not made for commitment but, after 3.5 years of being single I recently decided to start dating again and I realised that even though I'm confident and very sociable I freak out on a date as soon as I realise he's genuinely interested, so then never see them again.
I don't know if that's selfish (fear of being hurt again) or if it's simply that I'm not ready for commitment... |

Been there done that and got the kids. 7 years later I'm only just putting the final pieces of my life back together that he shattered.
No way am I ever giving anyone the chance to do that to me again.

I was told today that I'm too choosy so this singledom is of my own making, but said person did say I sounded better than I had in a long time, so perhaps its not a bad thing.
I would like the spontaneity of being in a relationship but don't want them making a mess in my house..lol |

Been on my own for so long and used to it, if I started dating I'd have to find the time and not sure I can be bothered. Besides I'm not on a dating site nor do I go into situations that I might meet someone. Am only on this site and whilst it would be nice to meet someone that enjoys sex, I don't and wouldn't use it to look for a boyfriend |

"Some never commit even when they are in a relationship though so maybe it's just easier for them not to be? "
That's very true. And, nothing lonelier than being in a relationship with a person who doesn't want to be there.

When you've been emotionally ripped apart by someone you are love with, it takes courage to commit like that again to someone; to open yourself up to someone and trust them not to hurt you.

It's not natural. Biologically, men have evolved to be promiscuous. Relationships is a cultural trait that has developed against our natural instinct. |

Its not just the the males of some species that are promiscuous. In fact many females in patriarchal societies will mate outside of their group, especially subordinate females with outside males.

I agree with Evie here. Women are just as promiscuous if not more, but they hide it well... We are in a swingers site for god's sake   |

You'll probably find in many cases it's more of a self protection thing and not wanting to get hurt. Emotions aside too, ending a relationship where you have begun building a life together is a tricky affair. |

Not cultural but survival - women mate outside of their relationships in order to ensure the strongest survive. They pass the off-spring off as belonging to their relationship mate. There is also work showing the usefulness of getting other sperm so that they compete and the strongest survive.

I don't want full on commitment, I will likely never live with anyone else again, and I do not want to answer to someone.
I love my life currently - work, gym, friends, education, and a partner who accepts me as I am, and understands my reasons for keeping my own space.
I love the balance - the time we spend together is great, and I don't resent him being about all the time - far rather miss him that wish him away. |

Interesting thread. Life for me is all about various loves....each of which demand commitment before you can truly discover their depths. There is love of yourself (one of the most important), love of another, love of your family and dependents, love of the world around you, and, if you're spiritually inclined, love of the source of all things (which strangely ties straight back to love of yourself in an unexpected way)
Each of these loves can be experienced with much joy...but each of them also have their own 'commitment moment' where, if you are to really tap deeply into them, you need to develop some resolve.
Here in the west it seems that freedom is paramount...and yet love, by it's very definition, is a most wonderful enslavement...a giving of yourself to another. Some can only give so much before they get cold feet. Others are ready to give it all in an act of absolute abandonment. All for love. Ironically, as far as I'm concerned, it is in the act of giving ourselves completely that freedom is finally found
Sorry if that's too much romantic wishy washy stuff for some people That's just the way I see things |

Honestly, I'd choose freedom to do what I please. I am committed to my other half, but he understands my desire on here, and also that I would never live with him or take any of the expected next steps (engagement, kids, house, mortgage etc) I'm very fortunate that he gets that, and doesn't want those things from me, or anything more than weekends when I am free - altho we do text and phone a lot. If the day comes he does want that (unlikely), then for me it will be time to call it quits. |

Yes, he's a boyfriend.
Sounds like a fb to me. How can you be in relationship without commitment? "
Its not no commitment - its just not the standard thats expected... its what suits us both. He's more than a FB - he's met my son (rarely - my choice) and we've been seeing each other for just under 18 months now. He's met my family, and I've met his - being there with him at his fathers funeral. Thats more than FBs
I don't judge anyones relationships, as long as it works for them, in a way they feel comfortable, then good for them. |

He's more than a FB - he's met my son (rarely - my choice) and we've been seeing each other for just under 18 months now. He's met my family, and I've met his - being there with him at his fathers funeral. Thats more than FBs
I don't judge anyones relationships, as long as it works for them, in a way they feel comfortable, then good for them."
Fair point. |

So this is a boyfriend not a fuck buddy?
Yes, he's a boyfriend.

Its just what works for us both - and we've already decided that should the sexual side ever stop, for whatever reason, then we will remain very close friends as we do get along very well. |

What?!?!? a bloke asks a woman a question which involves picking one of two options and she actually picks one rather than insists on having both?!?!? Is the world ending or something? lol, just being a cheeky git |

Another possible fear relating to commitment is the fear that you'll let the other person down and hurt them. It was certainly one of the fears I had when I was younger |

"Interesting thread. Life for me is all about various loves....each of which demand commitment before you can truly discover their depths. There is love of yourself (one of the most important), love of another, love of your family and dependents, love of the world around you, and, if you're spiritually inclined, love of the source of all things (which strangely ties straight back to love of yourself in an unexpected way)
Each of these loves can be experienced with much joy...but each of them also have their own 'commitment moment' where, if you are to really tap deeply into them, you need to develop some resolve.
Here in the west it seems that freedom is paramount...and yet love, by it's very definition, is a most wonderful enslavement...a giving of yourself to another. Some can only give so much before they get cold feet. Others are ready to give it all in an act of absolute abandonment. All for love. Ironically, as far as I'm concerned, it is in the act of giving ourselves completely that freedom is finally found
Sorry if that's too much romantic wishy washy stuff for some people That's just the way I see things "
Might be for some but I agree with you |
