Why men are so afraid of the C-word? and that word is COMMITMENT.
The word in any context other than the one having to do with what a woman wants from the man she loves is rife with negative connotations. "He was committed to an insane asylum." Or the onerous, "He committed a crime." You get the picture?
Definition: to commit
- to put officially in custody or confinement
-to hand over or set apart to be disposed of
- to commit something to the trash heap
Definition: commitment
-official consignment by court order of a person to prison, mental hospital,erc.
- a financial liability undertaken
AND FINALLY
- a pledge or promise to do something
Soo, you get the idea?
Well, to me, commitment means something else. It means that I can simply look to the face beside me and rest assured that whatever follows will not have to be endured alone. It means that someone will laugh at my jokes, or at least smile.
I want the person who kissed me good morning to be the same person who kisses me good night.
I believe most men want these things, but the C-word terrifies them... Does it?
