Does being in a committed relationship make one boring?

Another, yes...interesting discussion the Sabla:

From Superbia:

I have noticed that some people really change once they’re committed, and their life only revolves around that significant other. I don’t know if it’s right or not, because friendship is a messed up thing, and so is relationships.

~Do you think that a person in love makes them less boring to their friends?

~If you’re committed, would you treat your friends differently, or lets say behave differently.. ?

~If you noticed your friend changing, what would you do about it?

My thoughts:

I believe priorities do change once you are in a committed relationship because you start to focus upon different aspects of the new relationship that may not necessarily involve your group of friends....this commitment could be many things, a demanding job, marriage, having children, setting up house and such...these things may not be of interest to your single friends (and sometimes not so single) if they live a lifestyle that does not encompass these new factors.

Most of your free time may be spent with family such as children, your spouse--or even interests that doesn't include your circle of friends, and thus the times you do spend with them shrinks.

I believe that those individuals who rather spend more time partying it up rather than being "grown up" in their newfound commitment still have allot growing up to do.

Now don't get me wrong...we all need to have our time away from our significant other, our job, etc--that's natural and needed. Spending time with friends and having activities outside the core relationship is vital for it to survive.

Who says being committed has to be boring?

Finding a balance is the key.
