text: why do some men refuse to commit to a relationship or want to ever marry?   first of all why do some men marry ? to celebrate their relationship , to belong to the woman they love , to have a friend , to have a family of their own . i guess the others refuse because of fear of taking responsibility (once you are committed/married, all major decision of life are influenced by it e.g., changing job, moving to new location etc. ) or fear of confiding in other person so much as to make them a part of your life and become theirs . some do not believe in the institution of marriage because for their own reasons .  women generally want to stay in a relationship & work on it even if it is not going on the right track with the hope that it might work . guys dont . they know if its not a correct choice , its not worth giving life for .  and for some , variety is the spice of life :))
