I have the same problem with my boyfriend. Just be yourself, and let him know that you love him, and under no condition would you do anything to hurt him. Most guys who have a fear of commitment have it because they've been hurt, or, like your guy, have seen someone get hurt. Let him know that you won't ever hurt him, and that you are willing to take your time with the relationship. Don't push him to do anything he doesn't want to do, and eventually he'll realize that you're right. I know my boyfriend is starting to figure it out!

Hey thanks, we have talked it out a bit, we haven't exactly come to conclusion the most he said was if he starts to feel that way maybe we could distance away from eachother for awhile, like break but not break up, he knows i've been bothered by this but he told me by worrying its goign to make things worse which he's right because I worry to much, he told me he loves me and wants to be with me and will work try to work it out if it comes down to that, that should mean something eh? The fact he wants to work it out shows he wants to be with me...
