RE: Unscheduled time away

in OCD4 years ago

I think a lot of it over the last 30 years has also been people not putting the effort into the relationships and then other young people see the bitter divorce side so they become gun shy. While working as a single person, most of my coworkers were either bitterly divorced or on the second or third marriage. I myself like being married, dining alone was always like I'm done give me he check I'm out of here, I think that is why I learned to cook a little bit.

Perhaps part of it is a fear of failure, which drives a fear of commitment. It is hard to get into something when only thinking about the potential for loss and suffering. Relationships are built on a type of trust and requires openness.
