Is marriage the only commitment?

Various forms of commitment

Commitment is not necessarily just marriage. Agreeing to only date the other person is a level of commitment, moving in with someone is a commitment, combining finances, etc. There are many, many different forms commitment can take. When you approach a change in your relationship, talk about it with your partner, and talk about what it means to you. If you build that communication early on, then it will make your entire relationship grow more easily.

What if they want you to stop talking to certain people because of your past with them. i mean i will do it only because i want this relationship to work, but yet i still feel its wrong.

If you are still excepting comments, I have one for you. My bf had a relationship with another woman before i met him. He kept talking to her and thought they could be just friends. Well then he slept with her. So now i have a hard time trusting him. And i dont want them talking anymore. And i didnt want them talking to each other in the first place. But they always said that they were just friends.
