Why do Men Find it Hard to Commit

Most women can commit to a relationship pretty fast.  Everyday they seem to fall more and more in love with him.

After time goes by, they can picture themselves as a married couple, with children and growing old together.

These thoughts actually make the woman happy, she can’t wait for the day he will ask her to marry him.  But as time goes by, it just doesn’t happen and the women start wondering why. The reason is that for men, marriage is it, the end of their lives as they know it.

The majority of men see marriage as the end of their lives as they know it.  To them, marriage is not a blissful union; it is more of a life sentence with no parole. They can’t stand the idea of losing their independence, sacrifice of sex with different partners or the ability to do as they please whenever they want. On top of this, there is the financial burden they feel will be placed on them, not only from the marriage but eventually the family.

When they think of this, they literally become jittery and sweaty. The thought of all this only makes them want to run for the hills and never look back. The only relationship they are willing to commit to, and only for a limited time, is cohabitation, this leaves them with an escape hatch if they feel the relationship is too much and they just don’t want to deal with it. Their list of reason is long; here are a few of them.

COMPROMISE

Commitment is a 50/50 partnership and they feel that women do not practice this.  Compromise to them is do it my way and if the man doesn’t comply they are cut off from sex as a punishment.

BURNED

Men that have been in a previous relationship, especially marriage, can’t commit if they have been burned.  For a man to open up and allow his feelings to be known is hard.  Once they have been hurt or burned they find it hard to trust a woman again.

SAME PARTNER

Men naturally crave sex and enjoy the sexual variety.  To them, being able to pick the girl they want for pleasure is like heading to a buffet, no limits, as much as he wants and as long as he wants.  In a committed relationship, sex is boring and eventually a lack of desire will follow.

FREEDOM

Men are use to making the decisions on their own, independence comes naturally to them.  In the relationship, they can no longer go out with the buddies, play golf or buy anything they want without clearing it with her first.  They find themselves trapped and obligated to do only what she wants.
