After reading Marriage Gems' post 'We All Married the Wrong Person', there were two words that caught my attention and would not stop nagging at my brain.
Committed Relationship.
Now, I won't even begin to act as though I am on the same level as @lorilowe when it comes to dissecting relationships, but I do believe that a little common sense goes a long way in anything you do.
But, committed relationship? At what point in any relationship does it go from a 'LOVING relationship' to a 'committed relationship'? Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong in being committed to something or someone. But, in my opinion, when used in reference to the person who you [supposedly] love, committed seems to offer a more 'trapped' than loving tone in its use.
When I hear someone say, 'Sorry, I'm in a committed relationship,' I hear in my head, 'Sorry, I'm with somebody, I may or may not love them, but I'm at least going to fulfill my end of the bargain... however, if circumstances were different, I'd definitely be in.'
Just something I had to let out...
