Commitment jitters?

Oh it definitely happens. Sometimes it leads to a break in the relationship because one person might need to make sure it's what they really want, sometimes it's just a phase that will end quickly, and unfortunately, for some it will end up breaking them up. I would say if you or your boyfriend have commitment jitters, take a week to spend less time together and it will make you appreciate each other all over again.

You have jitters about the prospect of being in a long term relationship. It happens before the long term starts. For most people, either you are a commitophobe or not.

of course people need commitment for a long distance relationship. that's usually what is holding you both together. Otherwise, if there is no commitment than you would easily find yourself cheating and such.
