Pengwuino said:What is your definition of "commitment"?
Loyalty to each other and the "will" to stay together. Do not understand "loyalty" as simply an obligation not to sleep with other ppl, for it is not true in some types of close social relationships.
Recall the case of parents who don't sleep together anymore, are barely friendly with each other, but they are deeply committed to their relationship for the sake of a common goal ? For example the purpose of bringing a child to an age where the separation is easier handled by the kid ?
This is still a form of close social relationship. I heard Peter Solavay of Yale in a speech on close social relationships calling this "empty love".
