What is it to be committed? Nowadays people are getting into relationships and marriages and taking on titles of girlfriend and boyfriend or husband and wife. But I don't believe that they are entering into these relationships with open eyes. If you think about it, the title of your relationship is not for you but for other people. When you are committed to each other that is all that matters. The only time your title comes into play is when other people are involved: When you introduce each other to friends, when you are speaking about your significant other without them being present. But with these titles there is a lack of commitment.
I know this may sound crazy to some people but I have never needed a title. As long as we are committed to each other and secure in what our relationship is, the title seems arbitrary. I think for some titles add extra pressure onto an individual to be and do things that they should want and already be doing prior to the title. So for me titles are just words I'm more interested in the actions behind it, the commitment. There is a lot to say on this topic this is just the tip of the ice berg. What do you think?
Crazy...I was just talking to Tiff about this like an hour ago. You make a very good point though. I completely agree that people to the title thing to an extreme. It shouldn't have to be. With the title you should act the same way you did when you felt it was time to add the title.
