How to Strengthen Your Relationship - keeping it alive


Expert: Leon Scott Baxter - 10/30/2009

Question
Hello again. In reference to why I may be sabotaging the relationship, I'm not sure why. I guess I have a habit in life of stopping something half way through and starting afresh in everything, work, games etc. I guess I am just scared of making the commitment necessary to make it work, when I think about it 40, 50, 60 years is a long time and I guess I'm scared of it.

Kind Regards
           Byron

Answer
Hello again, Byron,

What I wonder, though, is why. Can you pinpoint a reason for this fear? It's not always, but very often it stems from something familial. What happened in your family growing up that may have contributed to this fear and the sabotaging?
