you could be afraid of commitment with a person, or affection in general. in this situation, it's best to look back at childhood and your childhood relationships with parents and friends.

Maybe it's because you're scared of the uncertainty of the future, of possible breakups, of unknown threats, because at times when something good happens to us, bad things might follow up and we aren't prepared for them

I think its quite simple actually, when you are in a serious relationship, you usually care a lot for your mate, and having them leaving your life would be something that would damage you, therefore you are afraid of losing that person or messing up in any other way. It can also have to do with your self esteem for example. One's lack of confidence can always make them really anxious when in a relationship.

It could be down to trust or commitment issues. Think about your past relationships how long have they lasted and why have they ended try to analyse them and figure out what the common thing is.

After this first few weeks of things going well, I begin to doubt the legitimacy of the relationship. Maybe he is secretly stringing me along, or doesn't mean what he really is saying. It's a trust issue that really isn't based on anything, and I've found the only way to deal with it is to talk about it with them, no matter how difficult...

It can because you are afraid of putting yourself in a vulnerable position with someone, due to being hurt in the past or being afraid of letting people in.

It may be that you are nervous and afraid of loosing someone, or if you had some bad experience with relationships in the past it is reflecting on this.

Maybe because we are sometimes scared of commitment. We think as life has been uncertain to us we might not be able to keep a promise to someone. We want to take it as it comes so that we get an easy way out! But we must know every relationship has a cycle it starts and ends so no need to freak out and just make the best out of it as we all can.
