Why men may want to run away from a real relationship
1. Lost Freedom
All of us know that there’s a part of being single that’s like a never-ending party. Carefree fun, staying out to all hours of the morning with no one to answer to. Peace and solitude when you want it and social butterflying when you feel like it. This lifestyle doesn’t seem easy to walk away from.
When you are in a committed relationship, it takes this liberty away. A guy will often have to consider what his girlfriend wants and likes.
The truth is, when you’re actually in a loving relationship, this sacrifice feels more like a privilege than a burden. But guys should bear in mind that once they are in love, the main person they’ll want to have fun and enjoy peace with is their partner. When their partner is around, they’ll feel lucky that they have someone to look forward to spending time with.
2. Lack of Privacy
This is another reason why guys are afraid of commitment. When men share their life with a woman, it means letting them into the darkest or most secretive parts of themselves. Any skeletons that they have hidden in their closets are bound to be revealed and they might not be comfortable with that.
This is why it’s important that guys choose to date girls that understand and accept them for who they are and what has happened in their past. This way they’ll even appreciate having that one special person they can share their secrets with.
3. Fear of Being Controlled
There are women who are a little too keen to keep their boyfriend healthy? “You can’t have another glass of wine Jim, it’s not good for you” or “You’ve got to quit smoking John, it’s going to kill you!”
While girls believe they’re acting like loving wives, in reality, they’re just coming off controlling. However, even if it might seem totally horrible from the outside, some guys do admit that it feels good to know they have someone who cares for them.
4. Change of Status
Some guys might believe that being in a committed relationship means they have to give up their young man status and accept that they are in the older man category – the man who grow old and turn into dads
Obviously, being in a committed relationship does not mean you have to retire from your young status, but it is a fact that adult relationships require a level of maturity that it takes men longer to reach than women.
5. Peer Pressure
Guys are deeply influenced by the other guys that they hang out with. If none of your boyfriend’s friends are in a committed relationship, you can be certain that he’ll be reluctant to get into one himself. The way guys like to tease each other will ensure that your beloved will be the butt of many jokes because he was the one who got ‘locked down’ by a girl first.
Being with your friends is fun and all but a smart guy wouldn’t lose the lady he loves just so that he can be one of the boys, would he?
