Not a permanent condition. It's possible for him to marry and get into a relationship if he WANTS to

Does a person necessarily HAVE to go through therapy with a Psychiatrist or can this be done alone? can a person reach their own epiphany you feel?

thanks for your clear response

I have it. Like I've found myself going to extreams like trying to impregnate a woman just to force the commitment on myself. Then have an anxiety attack from all the stress and regret days later. Just pure fear at the thought of commitment. I noticed the best bet is to take it slow. Things I've done to make myself look like a fool and ruin my own relationships aside, I feel more comfortable with commitment the longer I get to adapt to a person and learn I can trust and respect them.

How are you posters saying the fear of something doesn't exist & is a myth? Just curious

The "laymans" use is what I don't believe in.

Call it what it really is... not some layman's term that equates to recognizing a symptom. Possible past child abuse, emotional trauma, abandonment issues, anxiety, extreme idealism... or, simply just being a player.

"Commitment phobia" gives a false impression that it is about the relationship.

I have severe separation anxiety. This is how it affects me. I expect everyone to leave or abandon me, except for my child, and one day she too will leave. It started when my parents divorced. My mother wasn't perfect and my father was even worse but he was the only one around The minute I meet someone I prepare for their departure. I don't get attached because I see everyone in my life on the way out. Despite this im ok with being alone for the most part alone. Im very outgoing and can make friends and enemies on command but personally any relationship I develop to me is temporary. It's not rational but it's been programmed.
