That the lawyers will eat me up like sharks and shake me for all I am worth.
I'll edit the title; I mean someone you are dating.
As for your concern, there's an easy answer -- marry someone who makes more money than you and/or who is not vindictive. I don't know anyone whose divorce involved lawyers and acrimony. Life is not an MRA forum.

1) If you like them, not wanting to hurt them. I dislike hurting people.
2) Not liking unpleasant confrontation.
3) On occasion, I'm scared I'm making a mistake, no matter how many times I run it through my head, on occasion there are doubts. Those doubts can be scary.

I am pretty much on the same page as timberline on this. I feel the exact same way.
People who find it daunting, what are you afraid will happen?
Unpleasant scenes can happen. Anger can happen, demands to know why you're breaking up with the person can happen. Any explanation can be rejected and argued with. People don't just say, "Oh, ok" and slink off.

I don't know why people nowadays take the ignoring route. It is one of the worst ways to end something.
They take the view minimizing their own uncomfortability is more important that minimizing the other person's pain. The why is perfectly easy to understand.

I've never disappeared on someone. But I have taken so long to make up my mind and get up the courage to break up that every single time the guy beat me to it. Once I had a guy disappear on me, but it wasn't that traumatic since we already knew the relationship was ending. In a weird sort of way, I've had some kind of good luck in never actually having to be the one to pull the end trigger on a relationship.
For what it's worth, all of my breakups (even my divorce) have been amicable (no big blow ups or drama or anything like that... although I was sad after each one).
