I've wrestled with the idea of commitment many times myself and it was something I ran away from for a long time when I was younger. I finally came to the conclusion that my problem was with committing my whole life to something when I didn't know what would happen in the future or making promises I may not be able to keep. So I managed by shortening the concept. Now I think of commitment as being committed to investing myself in making our relationship work each day. I accept that the day may come when this is no longer possible, but I am committed to giving my best effort each day. Perhaps if you communicate this idea of commitment to your partner he might find it less scary and easier to handle.
