Relationships are a commitment. Whether we commit ourselves at the beginning or rush in recklessly, there is always some point when you realise how committed you are. This is the point where many run away and hide, and some stay and fight.
It is in this place that we have to be strong enough to make the decision. Too many people stay in relationships because they fear being alone, or fear that they can't do better and so resign themselves to relationships that don't work. On the other hand some people believe that a relationship is supposed to be like a Hollywood romance and so run for the hills when the going gets tough.
The important thing is to decide whether or not you love this person, and is this person is good for you. You can take advice from everyone around you, but you have to be honest with yourself and really ask yourself, as you are the only one that really knows.
Don't fool yourself either way. Take time and search yourself. Get perspective and realise that all relationships require commitment and compromise.

After all, Juliet would have plunged a premature dagger into the heart of her romance with Romeo if she hid in her room rather than go out on her balcony. The end of Sleepless in Seattle shifts from "awww" to "aw, no" if one of the two main characters skips the trip to the Empire State Building. As these examples from fiction show, making yourself
