MirabaiYour Parents' Relationship and How It Shaped Yours

When both partners fear commitment due to parents' divorces

My girlfriend and I both watched our parents go through bitter divorces, and now we're afraid to fully commit to moving in together because we can't tell the difference between being smart and being scared. We keep having conversations that go in circles because we're both trying to protect each other from what we experienced as kids, but we might just be protecting ourselves.
