Is it normal i'm afraid of long term relationships?

It's not that I don't want one. It's not that I'm "afraid of commitment." I think I've just never seen any good example of how it should work. I want to promise forever to someone, but I'm scared I won't know how, I'll fail, and she'll fall out of love.

    Many decades ago after my marriage ended I decided I would never promise for ever to anyone, and wouldn't believe anyone who promised it to me.

    I think it's totally unrealistic to make promises about how you'll feel in the future, but that doesn't necessarily rule out a longterm relationship.

    This is trite but life is risk.

    Well, nothing is set in stone, not even a marriage. Just live one day at a time and see what is meant to be.

    Same. It seems to emotionally risky and with my sex drive, having just one sexual partner ever again sounds no fun at all. Still young tho, thoughts change with age. How old are you and what is your gender?

    You can't learn to swim if you don't get your ass in the water. Just do it, it's a learn as you go process. I also understand if you were to say you don't want to experience the "broken heart" thing if a female was to break up with you at some point. That really does suck. Just treat others as you would like others to treat you, be honest, genuine, faithful, and no matter what as a guy YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER hit a woman no matter how bad they piss you off. And they will. A better man walks away. Also don't take advantage of a female hurting or at a low point inlife. A real man will extend a hand and help them up.
    You go from there.
