BS. Commitment is making your life function with the life of the other person in the relationship, not becoming the life of the other person. What a difference.
wrong, commitment is above all sacrifice and what you are sacrificing is your priorities for the good of the relationship(i never said it was for the other person's life). It's kinda like work, you commit to it and if you wanna succeed you cant just get up and leave at 5 with your work not finished if you had prior plans. If you did you are clearly not committed.
Actually, you are both right, because you have a different view on it.
In my previous long relation, i approached it kinda the way X is explaining it. What i have found out is that when you do that, girls will take advantage of you, and you'll become drawn into a vicious circle where you allways give up more, and its never enough. And it ends because you stop having the patience to cope with those things. It ends with a man broken and darkened forever. Me for example, i used to be alike Hustini.
In my current relation, i approach via Nzoric definition. You have your life, she has her life. Its very important to keep having your own habbits and occupations, even when living togheter. You build something up because you make yourself work in her life, but at the same time keep a healthy balance with your own. Be domminant in the relation. Never recessive. Balance what you give and take. Unless its sex, a man should be able to be bribed with bootycalls from his girl 24/7.
X view is a romantic one, but doesnt work with the big majority of the current batch of females. I find that sad. But for many of us, its a reality we must face.
