While it's natural to feel some anxiety about committing to one partner long-term, many people can weigh the pros and cons and jump in when it feels right. But those who fear commitment may have such a strong aversion to serious or exclusive relationships that they run away from them no matter how good they are. Take this test to see if you're ready to commit.
This test is for anyone who wishes to gauge their feelings about romantic commitment. It is designed for adults, and it is not intended to be diagnostic.
A therapist, couples therapist, or couples counselor can help guide you with what you want in a relationship. Seek a mental healthcare professional in your area on the Psychology Today Therapy Directory.
