Ivynwa:
I am not saying for none to marry or have children because we will di* someday. I'm only making one of us here that was making it sound like only the unmarried and childless experience loneliness realize that that isn't so.

I love children, I have no problem with people having children they can take care of.
being married or single is no guarantee a person wont be lonely.

i think i've heard too many women boast about how they're not interested in marriage, then turn right around and attempt to snatch men who are already in relationships, to believe a lot of bunkum.

i'm strong, independent, dont need a man, dont date that type, etc.

all that vanishes into thin air like magic.

like nollywood sef.

Romance › Re: Is There A Difference Between Relationship And Commitment? by tpia5: 12:14am On Jun 16, 2011
Commitmentphobia


Commitmentphobia is often most strongly apparent in romantic life. Generally, commitmentphobic people claim that they are eager to find a lasting romantic attachment and get married, yet they fail to find appropriate partners and maintain longlasting connections. Ironically, in these romantic relationships, the commitmentphobic partner craves what he/she fears most: love and connection. This paradoxical craving for a frightening reality leads to a confusing and destructive pattern of seduction and rejection. The results are emotionally devastating.

The key to understanding commitmentphobia is recognizing that such behavior is rooted in fear—fear of lost options or fear of making poor decisions. The commitmentphobic mind sees decisions as permanent, opening the possibility of being caged or trapped forever with no means of escape. Commitmentphobia is a real disabling fear, that can be manifest in many areas of life, including career, home ownership, or even shoe shopping. This fear can make simple everyday decisions into a tremendous burden.

To assuage their anxieties, many commitmentphobics become fantasy-driven, using their active imaginations to fill in for the lack of emotional security and closeness in their lives. Of course, these fantasies pose additional problems because no potential partner or job can ever live up to the fantasy. Commitmentphobics are also prone to self-destructive behavior, such as walking out on partners or jobs without notice, leaving themselves and the people in their lives in untenable situations.

One potentially misleading aspect of commitmentphobic behavior is that the partner who is actively running away from commitment is the only one with a problem. In fact, commitmentphobic behavior includes "settling" for inappropriate partners, pursuing unattainable partners, and engaging in instant relationship mergers as well as fleeing from what might have appeared to be a stable romance. Any persistent behavior that actively prevents a person from making a commitment or allows a person to make excuses for not having made a commitment can be considered commitmentphobic.

Authors Carter and Sokol handle this circumstance by describing "active" commitmentphobia, which is most strongly characterized by running away from relationships, and "passive" commitmentphobia, which is most strongly characterized by long suffering devotion to an active partner who is running away, longing for a partner who has run away, and fantasy reconciliation scenarios.

^^see why you should cease from attacking people who are upwardly mobile [or even not]? huh

if patience was one of those women who you constantly open threads to complain about on nl, would she bother giving you any contracts now [but would rather award them to your enemy] even if you begged her.

Nayah:
Tpia, well you may recognize his logic is not insane and especially in our (African) society.
he knows what he's seeing, and why he opened the thread.

in african society, marriage isnt seen as an abnormal thing, and neither does it have to be abnormal the way many westernized africans want it to be.

this doesnt mean i'm saying african marriages are perfect however. It's a question of context.

anyway, the poster should find another way in addition to this one, to get his message across to the women who are driving themselves bonkers over other people's men.
