Relationships


I have been in relationships where there has been love but no commitment and also where there has been commitment but no love. Both types of relationships can be hurtful and have a fairly negative impact on the lives of the people involved. Not every relationship is perfect and almost all relationships have rough patches, but having problems that persist for a long period of time can be harmful in the long run. I have been in relationships where there has been love but no commitment. I loved the other person a lot, but there was just no commitment. We would cancel plans on each other and not make time for each other but at the end of the day we still loved each other. This type of relationship took a toll on me and eventually it made me really sad and I am no longer friends with that person. I was not happy and would always be down on myself because of this relationship. I have also had the opposite of this relationship where there was commitment but no love. I think this is common type of relationship is common among of a lot of people. These relationships can have just as negative affect on you as on the people around you. My parents had this type of relationship before they got divorced. It was really hard on me and my brother and we could tell that they no longer loved each other. You could see my parents get increasingly unhappy and it made our family sad as a whole.

  1. It's true, a relationship has its rough phases where something goes wrong. And once you go over they phase it can either bring you closer together or further apart. I love how you mentioned in one of your relationships there was love but no commitment. I think that high school relationships fail 60% of the time because of this reason. The boy and and girl are physically attracted to each other. They presume it's love. But, honestly, they go to school for around 7 hours and they maybe have sports or a club and then most of their parents still have them on curfew or pick time up. How much time is there to commit to a relationship? If high schoolers took a time management class they would save so much time and heartbreak and focus much more on schoolwork,
