Why does committing to my boyfriend of two years feel scary?

Dear Betty,

Can you help me to understand why committing to my boyfriend of two years feels scary?  I have fearlessly pursued and secured a great career and other goals in my life. I am 30 years old, love him dearly and want to want to say Yes.

Thank you for helping me.

Your fan,

Sarah

Sarah, at 30, you’ve built a successful career and are on the cusp of something beautiful in your personal life. Yet, after two years with your boyfriend, you find yourself hesitating to take that next step. It’s natural to feel scared – commitment can seem like a leap into the unknown. But consider this: your relationship has already weathered two years of ups and downs, laughter and tears. **Isn’t that a testament to its strength?** Your fear might be whispering “what ifs,” but your heart knows the joy and support you’ve found. Remember, committing doesn’t mean losing yourself; it means growing together, supporting each other’s dreams, and building a future filled with shared experiences. *You’re not just saying yes to him; you’re saying yes to yourself and the life you’ve always wanted.* Take a deep breath, trust in the love you’ve nurtured, and allow yourself to embrace this chance at happiness. After all, the most beautiful gardens grow from seeds of courage planted in fertile soil of love.

What Clients Are Saying

Betty walked the path with me in such a way that I found someone amazing!

In a world saturated with online dating and connections that just seem ingenious, I had given up hope. I craved human connection that didn’t involve a screen and knew that I had a lot of love to give.

Finding that person was an uphill battle, but Betty made me feel as though I was not alone. She helped me believe in myself and walked the path with me in such a way that I found someone amazing… and learned more about myself in the process. In my eyes, that’s a double win! – Bruce W, Nashville TN

Betty helped me to regain my authenticity and confidence

I was down-right desperate to find love. I was looking in all the wrong places and found my emotions to be all over the place every time I went on a date. I felt disappointed and hopeless.

Betty helped me to regain my authenticity and confidence. She didn’t just help me to find a partner, but also helped me to navigate my emotions, and realize that it takes two to tango. I had to be the best version of myself to meet someone, and Betty did that for me. – Amanda S, New Orleans LA
