Description Objectives. The study aims at describepartnership fears in the young adulthood period and to examine the relationship between some factors (age, gender, attachment, break up, relationship with a partner) and presence and intensity of partnership fears.

Method. Questionnaires were collected on-line (QMI, ECR-RS, Ex-Bond). Partnerships fears were collected by open-ended questions on fears. Results. The open-ended answers were categorized by using thematic analysis, into 7 categories (Fear of breaking up, of remaining alone, of not finding a partner, of partners disagreements, fearsassociated with a sense of the incompetence in partnership, of infidelity and generalized partnership fears).
