Lets reverse the situation... what if your partner cant commit into a serious relationship and you are really inlove with him. What do you think you'll feel? What do you think you'll do?
By doing this you can look at another perspective of the situation. Sometimes we fear so much certain things that we are unsure of or of someone we want to be with. Sometimes, dealing with human emotion is so tricky, that's why you have to try at least not to be to self centered and think outside the box.
lastly, just reserve something for yourself as back up. Dont give it all. Loving yourself is still the foundation of loving others afterall.

i think im too selfish and have gone way past loving oneself.i seem incapable of feeling.i feel numb and i cant understand why i dont cry anymore when we fight and he threatens to break up.i just hate this whole situation and wanna be happy.

you r probably not ready as wat can i tell. a commitment to someone you love you shouldn't be afraid. you shouldn't have the thinking of suffocating too. think abt it again n see how much you love him n how much you r willing to give in to him. don't be afraid n go by your heart my girl. goodluck!

well i feel really strongly for him sometimes and sometimes i just dont!i cant understand myself. i used to cry when we fought but i just shove those thoughts away now. i cant even find my heart to ask it if i love him or not.

Well, being committed sometimes suffocated us! because if you are committed to a certain people you dont have the right to date somebody else, go shopping, and enjoy life the most., you will have a lot of responsibility if your committed, you have to look straigtforward for the big responsibility that will soon a part of your life, that is an eternal responsibility for you to manage...especially when you have a child.....but still their is merely a way to enjoy your relationship with him, encourage him to date once a week, go to malls, watch movie, and ofcourse partying, even though ur committed with each other, enjoy the life of a queen and a king,! i swear if you will not be doing it today, the time is limited for you to enjoy being single, because when u have children u cannot party with ur friends, you have to mingle and take good of ur family most of the time. so enjoy now..!

Honestly I think its a little bit of everything, I mean you are afraid alittle of what might happen in the future I think. But you have to go with it, I mean if you say he loves you then go with it, I mean if you know that there is commitment from him then whats holding you back. If you feel like it might be suffocating you, then either you are not as ready as you thought you were and you need to tell him so he can move on to someone who is, or you need to go with it and see ehat happens, if it gets to be too much for you then you know you were not ready for it, and you can say to yourself and to him you gave it a shot. But if you know he loves you then why not because love is hard to find nowadays so consider yourself lucky.

friend,commitment is life! you need to if you`re now at the right age, psychologically and financially mature for a commitment. life`s route goes that way. maybe you can ask yourself to find out the real cause. you may relax your attitude towards that situition and start inching toward it. soon you`ll have the solution. i believe you`re just afraid to commit!

I was in your position 2 1/2 years ago. Before my boyfriend I only dated guys for 2 weeks and then I jetted off. But I realized that he was a great guy and maybe I could give it a try and look in June it'll be three years!!! I still can't believe it. Of course you'll feel scared at first, hey I did and after awhile I made up excuses to get out it because I was afraid that I would get hurt, but with communication and alot of assurance from him we made it work. Hey if he's worth it you'll give it a try and put your fears aside. I wish you luck in whatever you choose.
