2. Love & Commitment

My recent relationship is a good example of where love was present but commitment was lacking. My ex-boyfriend was not really committed to the relationship and even though he loved me, he didn't treat me right. So where there was love and commitment coming from me, it was more of a one way street and in the end I couldn't take it anymore and broke off the relationship. I think it had a major impact on our relationship, especially being the reason why it ended. You have to have both to be able to make it work. I can't really describe a personal relationship where commitment is present but not love, but I could imagine a relationship like that wouldn't work out either. To be fully committed you have to be passionate about it and that includes love, but just because you are passionate doesn't mean that you will be fully committed.
