Do you mean 'commitment-phobia'?

(Anonymous) 2015-07-01 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
I think this was just a woefully misworded opinion on the OP's part. What I think the OP was trying to say was, the recent change in law for same-sex marriage makes him/her think about recent trends in non-same-sex marriage, such as the high divorce rate. The two do not affect each other at all in terms of who will marry who - the OP surely must be aware of that.

What I believe the OP is referring to is commitment-phobia, a condition which is not restricted to just one type of sexuality. I'm sure a gay man or woman, much like any straight man or woman, could also be a commitment-phobe. I think less and less people are wanting to get married because of the potential for failure (see the divorce rate) and also because more people are wanting to focus on their careers. If you marry someone who wants children, or if you yourself want children, that can and will have an impact on your/your partner's career, as well as on your lifestyle as a whole. It's a big decision to make for some, regardless of sexuality. This right was denied to same-sex couples until now, though, so of course we're going to see a rush of couples wanting to get married. I'm curious to see how the numbers play out statistically over the next year or so.

PS. Legalized same-sex marriage is definitely a victory and you would be remiss to call it otherwise. Of course there are other issues to tackle (health care issues, poverty, equality between the sexes, workplace harassment, violence against men and women, racism, the list goes on!), but for now we can still celebrate this landmark moment in history!
