There are no guarantees in life...except that we are going to die someday.

Your fear of commitment is your self preservation mechanism, which we all have on different levels. Only a leap of blind faith can get you past your fear. But you have to know that blind faith is just that...blind. We can't predict our future relationships. We can only learn from our past mistakes and make certain that we don't repeat them.

If you find a bad pattern developing take caution that you aren't inviting it. YOU hold the key to YOUR fears. If you choose to repeat the things that went wrong in the past then you only have yourself to blame for your present and future.

Otherwise...as was said above...learn to appreciate the new experiences in this new relationship and keep your head held high and know that you are worthy! Sometimes low self esteem from past bad relationships keep us from commitment.
