What is holding me back from committing to him?

Question - (21 September 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 21 September 2009)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I recently got out of a very unhealthy relationship. It was two years of constantly worrying, no trust, many tears and very rare, but very passionate "good days". Finally I decided to break the cycle, and have since met a great guy who treats me like a Queen. He's romantic, sweet, caring... and we get along great so far and feel pretty comfortable with each other. I don't want my ex back, he's no good, but I am still healing from all that I have gone through. Not only that, but I am just not sure of my feelings for this new guy... he's definitely not dumb, but I have sometimes we can't have really deep conversations about life. His sense of humour doesn't make me laugh as much as my ex did. Sometimes I find him a little annoying too. I WANT to make things work with him because he treats me great and I also don't want to hurt him. But something is holding me back from committing to him (and he definitely is looking forward to a commitment). But at the same time, I feel if I end things, I will miss him.

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (21 September 2009):

You went through a lot with your ex, so understandebly, you're going to be wary of this new guy. It's not worth comparing him to your ex. He isn't your ex. He's himself. So you'll just have to accept him the way he is. See how the relationship develops, but if you don't think you can commit to him, then you will need to end it, because it would be cruel to string him along. (I know you dont mean to). Give it time. x
