Fear of commitment.

General thred for all those either afraid of commitment or feel they may be someone who is unsure about commitment.

Anyone ever been in what seems their perfect relationships and all they would want but still imagined life on their own. Or doing a different thing?

Anyone broken up a perfectly good relationship just because they believed they couldnt commit. How did it end? Regrets or a feeling of the right thing?

I see many couples these days just breaking up basically cause one person still felt they had more to achieve as an individual and they didn't believe they could do it with their partner.

Some people I see have never had a bf/gf simply because they preferred to live what some may see a selfish life and so what they wanted when they wanted without consideration.

Any thoughts/stories/experiences welcome.

    I don't see an issue with this. If you don't want to commit, the best thing is to be honest about it. Better to leave a relationship if you feel this way than carry on pretending. It's not a perfectly good relationship if one party wants to do things alone all the time and doesn't include the other.

    Maybe some thoughts from people who thought they would never commit and did. Or from people who had it all but walked away because of commitment and lived to regret it. I'm sure there's plenty.
