Commitment in relationships boils down to seven signs, CSUSB professor saysMyDomaineNov. 20, 2018 Kelly Campbell, professor of psychology at California State University, San Bernardino, spoke with MyDomaine about identifying the signs of real commitment in a relationship. Before you can determine the seriousness of your relationship, Campbell explains it is imperative to be able to have conversations about tough subjects with your partner. “You should have a clear idea of what being ‘committed’ means to you and learn about your partner’s definition,” she told us. “Although the meaning of commitment may seem obvious, it’s important to gain clarity. For example, one person might believe in open relationships, and for them, commitment means honesty about sexual partners but not necessarily sexual exclusivity. If the other person is not on board with that definition, they might end the relationship at that point.” Read the complete article at “Spoiler: Commitment in a relationship boils down to these 7 signs.”
