Can you relate to them?
Cheating is one aspect, but your world is very different when you are commitment-phobic. Generally, this behaviour stems from emotional traumas in the past and they translate into people’s decision makings. So here are a few men and women who anonymously confessed their moments when the phobia kicked in.
It’s like I had Henry Cavill but I loved my freedom more
I was with this pitch-perfect man and I let him go. He had the looks and charm of Henry Cavill, the manners and humor like that of Shah Rukh Khan, but I was so scared of losing my wings that I refused his marriage proposal. I have no regrets but I do know that I had someone I probably did not deserve. The moment he went down on one knee after 3 years of us dating, I had my entire life of free moments flashing in front of my eyes. I thought someone was trying to tie me to that super-old banyan tree in my village I hated so much. I looked into his eyes, said sorry and ran for my life. I know karma bites but I am ready to be bitten.
I know I would have cheated on her
She was my girl for almost a decade but when she asked for commitment, I ran the other way. No, she did not deserve that and I know I destroyed her heart and mental health but I know I would have cheated on her. I just do not like being tied down. The idea of seeing this one face every day for the rest of my life when I wake up and when I sleep suffocates me. I could not bring myself to say I want to be committed so I told her that I prefer being single and living my life on my own terms.
She reminded me of my mom who walked out on us
Every woman I have dated would end up reminding me of my mom who walked out on my dad and me when I was 12. It was always amazing until they asked for a commitment. I remember how miserable my father was. He took to alcohol and perished. I was left alone at 18 and took to small jobs while supporting my own education. It was like a shoddy Hindi movie and my relationships were miserable after every year or two.
