Hurting Their Partner
Often, this happens when there isn’t any ‘pressure’ on the commitment phobic… they are just attempting to keep the relationship ‘at arms length’, even if this means their partner getting hurt.
It can seem like the person with commitment phobia is attempting to sabotage the relationship, even if the relationship itself seems to be perfectly ok.
An example of this would be turning up consistently late for dates or regularly coming home late from work, without offering any reason.
“Well, you know I have to work… don’t keep asking me every time I’m 5 minutes late… just accept it”.
Of course, sometimes commitment phobia can affect the person’s behavior even before they enter into a relationship.
