I've seen the expression "committed relationship" in several threads but what does it mean to you?
I suppose I should be fist as it's my question.
It's just my opinion but I'm prepared to be shot down and I'm also open to change my views.
To me a committed relationship is two people in an exclusive partnership. No sleeping round, no swapping, no threesomes or group sex, no cuckolding and no open relationships. Just monogamy!
To me a committed relationship is two people who focus only on themselves. No one else matters, it’s what they want, and what is best for them. It takes two, or it won’t work.
When I enter a relationship, it’s all or nothing. I don’t give just part of myself, or it won’t work out. I want and hope that he’d do the same, because it won’t work if he doesn’t. I’ve never been in a relationship that was set any other way.
When it comes to what happens in my life, I have to remember how it might affect the both of us. My life is his and his is mine. That sounds serious, but relationships should sound as such. Too many take them lightly.
To me, the term "Committed Relationship" means that you are willing to keep yourself for that one special person, both emotionally and sexually.
"The sun always sets,
The moon always falls,
It feels like the end,
Just pay no mind at all,
Keep rolling, rolling,
Life must go on"
put it this way...if i were in one, i wouldn't be here. :P
