I saw there was an article on here about being married and still being able to play the sports gaming. It seems many on here have worked out compromises to have marriage and sports gaming in their life--I think it's good to have things that you are each passionate about. But why are men so afraid to commit or get married? Why would someone ruin a great relationship with a person they are happy with because they aren't "ready to commit." If you are happy, have the same interests, get along great, been dating for over a year or so...why do guys run the other way when you mention marriage? And how can they get over their fear of marriage? I figure a lot of people on this site may relate. Just wondering if anyone has done this...and can explain any reasons or any thing to help guys overcome this fear.

Re: Why are men afraid of commitment/marriage?
I think it is because guys are immature. I was 25 when I got married and I was not ready to get married, but I still did it. I was very immature. I think guys realize once you get married you have to settle down and slow down. I am glad I am married. I don't want to be single. -

Re: Why are men afraid of commitment/marriage?
I don't think it is really good to generalize all men as afraid or not afraid. Things like relationships are very different from couple A and couple B. I don't really have any statistics to back this up or anything but that is how I feel.
If someone has statistics I could be swayedComment

Re: Why are men afraid of commitment/marriage?
It's because a lot of people (not just guys) don't like the idea of permanence. Marriage (it should, at least) means forever. Forever is a long time. It's too vast for a lot of us to comprehend, so some people just get scared.Comment

Re: Why are men afraid of commitment/marriage?
A year is way too soon to be thinking about marriage. If a relationship is meant to last there should never be a rush to get to the alter. One of my female friends is getting close to 30, and her desperation for kids and a man is pretty bad. When guys see this they go running for the hills, and she acts like she doesn't know why.
I got out of a long term relationship earlier this year and it gave me a lot of time to think about my life. Although having a significant other can be nice, it also comes with a lot of responsibilities. I've learned that I enjoy my freedom too much to be suckered into marriage unless it's something that I know I want with 100% of my heart. Too many marriages fall apart because the foundation isn't built to last.
- Being able to sleep with other women.
- Not sure she's the "one".
- Doesn't like her friends/family.
- She's a good girlfriend but not wifey material.
- She wants to be committed/married too soon.
Not all men are the same, there are a ton of reasons.Comment
