One moment, they\u2019re cold; the next, it\u2019s as if someone turned on the heater of love, and you\u2019ve forgotten that you\u2019re dealing with, a commitment-phobe. Everything you do indicates your love for them and that you are committed, but for the commitment-phobe, that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61510\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ebook-Sabotage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1563\" height=\"2500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ebook-Sabotage-1.jpg 1563w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ebook-Sabotage-1-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ebook-Sabotage-1-768x1228.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ebook-Sabotage-1-640x1024.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1563px) 100vw, 1563px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You understand them and love their unpredictable ways.\u00a0 If you want the relationship to work, you\u2019ll have to meet them halfway.\u00a0 If you press them to show more love, they\u2019ll keep their distance.\u00a0 You must learn to back off and stop worrying.\u00a0 The less you stress over the relationship, the more they\u2019ll stress over you and that\u2019s the first step to handling your commitment phobic partner.\u00a0 When you are comfortable in the relationship they are not.\u00a0 If they feel you aren\u2019t happy, they will go out of their way to win your heart. \u00a0Know that there are many other steps that\u2019ll need to be taken, but the first step will set the tone and let your partner know who\u2019s in charge!\u00a0 If you are interested in learning all the steps in loving a commitment-phobe pick up the book <strong><em>Sabotage; Recognize Commitment Phobia and Experience a Healthy Relationship <\/em><\/strong>today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61512\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/webhires4-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/webhires4-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/webhires4-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/webhires4-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/webhires4-4-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Antoinette M.
