If you have been with someone long enough for you to be a couple you have made a commitment.
The two parties have given each other reason to depend on the other for certain societal obligations.
Fidelity is one of those obligations.

assumptions are assumptions. No commitment makes everything a day by day relationship. No commitment, no societal obligation.
I’ll bet she’s going to appear, a little weepy, on the NFL’s domestic violence ads next month.
My statement, not assumption, that if you have been with someone long enough for you to be a couple you have made a commitment, is correct.
It is recognized as such by courts of law.
Of course I would see why some people have trouble with the concept. Illiteracy on the facts of social contracts is quite common these days.
It is one of the reasons there is so much conflict.

Your assumption that anything less then a ring and a certificate is not commitment is incorrect.
My statement, not assumption, that if you have been with someone long enough for you to be a couple you have made a commitment, is correct.
It is recognized as such by courts of law.
Playing house is only recognized in some states by some courts as a commitment. At best it is a quasi commitment in most areas. Assumptions are still assumptions. IMHO the government does not have to be the arbitrator but the social and culture does.
Heh. She’s from Chicago. Surprise. Surprise.

I’m still not happy.
I’m shocked.
In the words of the incomparable Sam Kinnison, she now knows what turns Mr Hand into Mr. Fist.
If Boyfriend had stuck to Mr Hand they’d both be a lot happier.
WTF? Public servant...retired at 46? Seriously?
Probably did 20 years and took a pension. Surprised he’s not a double-dipper.
50 shades of guilty.
*snicker*
