You’re describing a fear of intimacy. It’s actually fear of rejection, or of self-rejection, like so many things. If you choose someone to avoid a faithful reflection of yourself, you won’t be upset at any dissonance. It does work though.

There are some west Asian ‘third world’ cultures I have observed where marriage is not tied to any bond of intimacy or cohabitation, and now I see that as the direction of modern society as well. I’m not ready to make a value judgement on that. Maybe after a few lifetimes trying different pairing strategies.
