fundamental Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Has anyone on here actually been so scared of love that they ended a relationship? Most people on LS always see it as an excuse to end the relationship. I believe that people can become so afraid that they end things thinking that the other person would hurt them. They take feelings of hurt from past relationships into the new ones and prepare for the hurt. Once they start preping for the hurt, they get scared and leave. A pre-emptive dump??? If it is true that you are scared, would anyone who has felt this please post your reasons for doing something like this. I am sure many readers would find this very intriguing. Has anyone on here actually been so scared of love that they ended a relationship? Why? How did you feel after everything was done? Better? Worse?
Tony Posted July 10, 2005 Senior Moderators Posted July 10, 2005 There are many other reasons why people don't feel comfortable in loving relationships besides fear of getting hurt. Actually, that may be one of the lesser reasons since most people are willing to take that risk in order to achieve ultimate happiness. Some women actually have a fear of getting pregnant. Many men have a fear of settling down with one person when there may be a better deal out there for them. There are men who are terrified of the financial and other responsiblities that have to do with love and committment. Some people have the fear that they will take the relationship to marriage and then the other party will change sufficiently to end those loving feelings or the parties will grow apart. These are real issues that can happen. Love requires courage and the willingness to take chances. Above all, it takes the absolute resolve of both people to work cooperatively to make things work when all odds seem to be against that happening. Love can be a real bxtch sometimes!
