Q: If 90% of divorces are filed by women doesn’t that indicate an epidemic of breached commitment by women? Would a better way of phrasing the question be do women grasp the gravity of commitment?

A: I feel women file for divorce because they are the stronger sex, meaning they now then to get out. Men are not really afraid of commitment, I think they feel trapped in a relationship moreso than are afraid of commitment. Guys will date, and stay in a long term relationship for a long time until the word of marriage is spoken, then they want to run away.

Why are men so afraid of committing?Thanks everyone for your responses, I’m surprised to see the overwhelming amount of answers!

A: Some guys are like that… some arent.If you go out with a guy for a while (like say a few months) & he is not willing to commit (even just a little, like as an exclusive boyfriend)… Then just move on. He aparently has that “grass is greener on the other side” complex… and no matter how beautiful, personable, & intelligent you are, he is still thinking there may be someone out there better for him… It has nothing to do with you or what you think you may be lacking.When you run into that, it’s just best to move on. Moving on creates one of two outcomes. One, he will see how he really loves you and commit. Two, he will just go on with his life and you can finally move on with yours. Either outcome is really better for you than staying with him.Don’t worry, some guy out there will see how great of a catch you are and be willing to commit… without you having to worry him about it. That guy will actually be worth it.
