Lacking relationship-commitment?

I have always had a very difficult time making decisions and committing myself.

To go back to school is such a time commitment.

Should I buy a house at this time? is another commitment.

To find some other way to bring in extra income (not sure how?) is an commitment.

What to do with the rest of my life . . .

my list goes on and on and then there is also the issue of

relationship-commitment!

I have so many doubts , complicated thoughts and stuff that is holding me back.

I end up doing nothing because I am afraid once I have started, I will

change my mind down the line (the very next day!).

My name is Jeff and I am 28 years old and life and relationships are

happening to me.

I do not feel like I am in control of it all, specially if a

relationship needs my commitment.

Of course I have had wonderful girl friends who are all fine, but I

don't seem to be able to commit myself to either one of those fine

women.

I am also afraid of getting old andending up alone and totally lonely.

Of course this notion is silly, because I am only in my twenties now,

but still . . .

Why relationship-commitment?

Relationship-commitment is important ingredient in a relationship.

Any relationship.

The level of commitment may vary depending on the relationship.

Strong commitment is needed to make a marriage or business partnership work.

Relationships of friends also have commitment.

Even on-line relationships requirethe commitments of a reply, response

or other ways of attention.

Relationship commitment is needed to experience a relationship more

fully, more deeply, to feel love and be loved in your relationship or

marriage.

Relationship commitment also makes that people in a relationship feel

affected by another and experience the relationship and connection as

"real" .

Relationships where commitment is lacking, feel shallow emotionally,

have less meaning and do not feel "real".

These relationships are more like acting out and spinning

wheels.Relationship-commitment brings people closer to one another.

What does relationship commitment mean to you?

Relationship commitment may mean different things to different people.

This meaning often determines how people are able to commit themselves

to a relationship.
