He's afraid of commitment

Today my boyfriend told me that he's afraid of commitment..

To be honest, the phrase kind of confuses me, especially since we have been together for 6 months.

I really do not know what to think.

Can anyone give me advice on how to cope or how to not let it bother me as much?
