Basically, this is a bloated dictionary entry (Wikipedia:WINAD) that yet manages to do a very questionable job of defining its terms — most glaringly, nowhere is any attempt made to define committed or commitment, or even to point to such. How is it possible to objectively establish that any given relationship has somehow achieved the status of "committed"? In a two-person relationship, if one is committed to the relationship but the other isn't, does that still constitute "a committed relationship"?

Even if those hurdles were somehow overcome, the list falls far short of very basic Wikipedia standards. It's been waiting since 2011 (!!!) for more than ONE cited source for ONE entry. The great bulk of its content ought to become a See also section, though that will simply point up the general pointlessness.
