Commitment Phobia and the Long Term Relationship
Of course, everyone is different. One person suffering from commitment phobia might react to it in a completely different way to another commitment phobic.
Each person has their own commitment phobia ‘trigger’… the event or stage of relationship that triggers their ‘fear’.
Some commitment phobic’s do get into long term relationships, and after being in that relationship for a long time, it’s only then that the ‘trigger’ happens, and they feel ‘fear’.
At that stage, someone with commitment phobia might describe the feeling of being ‘trapped’ in the relationship, or in some way trapped or ‘pressured’ by the other person.
If this happens, the person with commitment phobia usually has to find a way to distance themselves from their partner.
In a long term relationship, this can, of course, cause a lot of hurt and upset to the partner of the person with commitment phobia.
