This was an interesting thread, it's a shame got forgotten about.

Lately I've been pondering about friendship. I wonder how many of the relationships I consider to be friendships are actually worthy of the name. I have a 'friend' who I've known since we were 5 (over two decades ago) and he makes no effort to meet up with me or our other mutual friends. One of these friends is moving to Scotland soon and had a leaving do in a pub and this guy couldn't be bothered to call in for a drink even though he was passing the pub. I understand that friends drift apart but I know that in the future he'll want to be friends again.

The problem, Skaz, is clearly that your friend is a fucking cop.
Having a(n) (ex-) cop for a father isn't easy.

Yesterday, I posted this question about the law on facebook and tagged my friend who is a policeman:

For many people, being committed does equal being exclusive.  You are correct though, I don't consider them synonymous and was just curious about how you were using them here.  I would consider myself very committed to the people I care about, but I use the word to signify emotional commitment in general and avoid the association with romance entirely.  So, I would also say that people should be honest about their willingness/unwillingness to commit, but if they wish not to, that it's not necessarily a result of low self esteem or emotional baggage.
Not necessarily, yeah.

It confuses me, too. Emotions cannot always be put into black or white categories and sometimes we are just ambivalent, aren't we?  :P

Also, weren't you argueing against those, who accuse free lovers of not being able to commit to a person? Because they would be the ones, who leave a partner for a new partner sooner or later, whereas a free lover would be more able to continue an already existing relationship when encountering a new one. Correct me if I got that wrong. And being committed doesn't equal being exclu...

If people cannot handle even the slightest bit of commitment to another person because of their low self esteem or emotional baggage or whatever they should have at least the decency to put the blame on themselves.
