I have not experienced a relationship where there was not commitment or love present. However one of my family members has experienced this (we talk to each other about everything). She had recently broke up with her girlfriend because she was not committed and wanted to take a break. However there was no doubt in the relationship about love but her girlfriend did not want to be in a commitment (she was not ready). In the end they decided to break up and go their own ways. Her girlfriend did not want to make the decision of still being with the same person in the future. In conclusion it’s hard and sad to have a relationship with a lot of love but no commitment.
A relationship I could describe in which commitment was there but no love or feelings for each other: my parents. There were married for eighteen years. My mom got pregnant at sixteen; they decided to marry even though they were young. They were together for a long time and were committed to each other cause they had five kids, a house and cars. However they were not happy together and did not feel the same like when they were younger. They made a difficult decision and divorced. They both felt they didn’t want to stay together because they were not in love. They wanted to have a second chance to feel love again.
What this post made me learn was in order to have a stable long happy marriage you first need to have love and commitment in a relationship.
I enjoyed reading your post. It is nice to get different perspectives on what others think about this subject. I'm sorry to hear about your family though, but it is what happens in real life to life situations. There are so many families out there that are like that. I have a friend who's parents are divorced too. I sometimes lose focus on that because I get wrapped up on my family and people portraying families and all but then I come in terms of reality and know that not all families are like that.
