The article didn't impress me at all. As for the theory of being afraid to commit, I easily recognize it in myself. But the "new" term counter-dependent, well, maybe, but I think her coining of this "new" term is ridiculous. I don't like to depend on anyone, but I don't think that is why I don't like to commit. Instead, I think its more rational. Odds are, whether people want to admit it or not, the happy ever after relationship is extremely unlikely. And I simply don't like to try to fool myself. My personality, and I think I've learned a lot about it, has difficulty remaining in long term monogamous relations. So for me the odds would be even longer. So to tell myself, maybe this time, is either naive or just stupid. That doesn't mean I don't have the desire to do it, I simply temper it a great deal with awareness I'm likely just fooling myself again. Sounds horrible, I know. But sometimes self knowledge has its costs. I skimmed it, and at first it made me wonder my articles aren’t on MSN somewhere. The article didn’t impress me at all.

I really didn't think so, but I needed to at least get it out there. Maybe I'll edit it in the future and make it better. But thank you for the comment. Thank you.
