Commitment to a partner requires trust, care, and a lot of effort. And that’s vital for a long-term relationship. However, not everybody is looking for commitment. And no, it’s not just a millennial thing to not be into monogamous relationships. Many of us go through different phases, and sometimes we lose hope that relationships will actually work in the end. This fear of commitment can be draining for you and your partner but also ruin the excitement of your relationship. Here are some fear of commitment signs suggesting that your partner may have a fear of commitment or have sarmassophobia or philophobia. Or both.
If none of your partner’s relationships haven’t lasted more than a few months, that’s a sign that they may be commitment-phobic.
Making future plans is essential for the longevity of any relationship. But if your partner shows lack of interest in your future goals, they may not see themselves as part of it. And that can be one of the biggest fear of commitment signs.
If you’ve mentioned to your partner that they should meet your family, and they avoid that every time you bring it up, this may mean that they are afraid of taking that extra step with you.
Sex is important for a healthy relationship, but it shouldn’t always be the defining aspect of a relationship. If your partner’s ignoring other relationship aspects such as talking about future plans or meeting with your friends or family and remains interested in sex only, this can eventually turn into sexual promiscuity. Moreover, they may have completely opposite expectations from your relationship.
If your partner knows more about you than you think you’ll ever get to know about him, that is a sign that they may be fearing commitment.
Is your partner calling you their boyfriend/girlfriend? If not, this may show that they are really not into creating a stronger and more serious bond with you.
You can never know exactly what their behavior is like from day to day. Sometimes they may be affectionate, other times they may be in a completely different mood.
You’ve spent so much time finding a cool restaurant that serves their favorite food. But they always cancel last minute. They may fear commitment after all.
Your right now only partner may really not be envisioning a future together with you.
They act sweet, loving, and affectionate at first, but later show signs of continuously neglecting your needs and wants.
