Commitment is a prerequisite for any relationship to survive, but contrary to popular belief, a study reveals that 'don't be too committed in romantic relationships or it might boomerang, leaving you depressed, anxious and fretful.' When either or both of partners place too much emotional weightage on their relationship, they tend to evaluate their self-worth solely based on the outcome of their romantic interaction. Too much of commitment often triggers depression and anxiety, leading to miscommunication and frequent spats over trivial issuses. While couples in a relationship naturally expect commitment to form the base for their future love affair, it may prove to be counter productive for them. Is it good to be completely committed to your partner? Can being overtly committed hit you back at times? Does too much commitment sing the deathknell for a steady affair?

Some studies may say that total or over commitment will come back to bite you. But i say not all people fit into all studies. I for one will give all that i am to the one i seek because that is what i wish in return. I do not want just part of them but all their heart and commitments. That is not to say i wish him to be at my side and at my every call there is the real world to contend with and life in general. Work and outside friends. But i do want a place in which i can escape into and feel as if it is only us for even just a little while. A place that can only be found in this over commitment as you or they call it. A place that only we two share. I crave that closeness i have never been able to find with another. That is why i am still seeking. It is studies like these of which you speak that makes it hard to find what i seek. i know it is a risk but isn't life a risk? Just geting in a car and driving around or crossing a busy street or getting in an airplane and flying somewhere, taking a cruise. we risk our lives everyday to transport ourselves from one place to the other yet we guard our hearts.
