StubbornOne Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 OK...We are not dating anyone else. Just each other. We are not looking for anyone else. We are not friends with benefits. Are we in a committed relationship? Are we in a relationship? What's the difference?
LN99 Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I think thats something you need to ask the person your in a relationship with. Find out where you stand.
bluechocolate Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I'd suggest that if you haven't actually discussed this, then no, you are not in a relationship. What's the difference? The difference between what?
magichands Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Are we in a committed relationship? Are we in a relationship? What's the difference? There is no difference. All relationships are committed, until one or both of you decide to "uncommit" yourselves. Simple.
Author StubbornOne Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 I can't get a straight answer out of him. I plan to ask him again tonight. I honestly don't think that he is ready for a relationship. He has been out of his marriage for a little over a year. But, he tells me that he likes being with me, he always has fun...blah blah blah. That's all I hear. As long as everything is fun and there are no problems...he is happy and everything is great...for him. But, I want to be assured that I am in a safe and secure relationship. I'll keep you posted.

I'm in the same "whatever you want to call it". He's in the process of a divorce and says he's not ready for a relationship, but yet we spend a couple nights a month together, loves spending time with me... calls a couple times a week... yada yada yada. Neither of us are dating anyone else, all his friends consider us a couple, but he just doesn't "classify" it as a relationship himself. I know how frustrating it is, trust me!!
AriaIncognito Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I'm right there with you two. Same deal. Have a great time together, neither of us are dating anyone else. However we don't have the label because while we have a great time together and the relationship is very easy, he's unsure of our future since we are of differing religions. Who knows, time will tell. I'm not rushing the label. He spends his time with me. He contacts me pretty much daily. He's been away this week and has contacted me over 1/2 the days he was gone. So, who knows. It's nice to have the label, but honestly, don't actions speak louder than words?
Arianna72 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 The only way to really get answers to your questions is to talk about it. I'm also in a "non-relationship" Both his parents recently died and he broke up with his ex in August. We talk pretty much everyday and usually go on a couple dates during the week. We spend pretty much all weekend together every week. As far as I know neither of us are dating anyone else (though we are supposed to have the "option" to do so), all our friends also consider us a couple, but he doesn't want classify it as a relationship at this point and says he isn't ready for a relationship. It is very confusing.
