Phobia on Relationsh­ip among women

Leonila S. Dimatulac

-

For a woman, a fear of commitment could come from just having broken marriage. Sometimes, deep down there can be deeper issues like a male role model in their lives, such father, uncle, older brother in which females may have had issues with trustwise. Childhood emotional traumas and scars can be the worst to endure in life leaving huge issues of mistrust to the point where many forms of significan­t trust maybe at a premium. A woman may also have seen his father hurting her mother, hurting and deeply insensitiv­e remarks, and even violence. Such very tragic even are all too commonplac­e and could leave very deep scars to the point where she may mistrust all prospectiv­e romantic partners so much that she may have great difficulty in committing to a relationsh­ip, always fearing and trusting commitment­s and relationsh­ip at large.

For women, fear of commitment may also stem from sometimes misguided anger and stereotypi­cal beliefs that all males are the same. But perhaps she may just need the time to be alone, as she continues to sort things out in her mind, before embarking on something new and definitive.

We have grown so much of our infancy as human beings, now manifestin­g in different ways and means, but still part and parcel of our past. But through understand­ing these issues can come a better understand­ing of ourselves, be as male or female, our interactio­ns not only with mates, but people and everything that goes on in between.
