Discussion
'My chap' and I have had a running joke going ever since we got together, because we're both pretty commitment-phobic, and every so often we find another commitment threshold being passed that makes one or both of us do the 'rabbit in the headlights' thing.
So, some of the ones we identified today are:
Telling mutual friends that you're seeing eachother
Putting each other on BT Friends and Family
Leaving stuff at each other's houses (toothbrush etc)
Putting each other on the car insurance (I've put him on the Skoda, but not on the Griff
)
Having the baby/contraception conversation
Booking a holiday together with more than 4 weeks notice
So what other commitment milestones can PHers add to the list?

Having a poo in front of your partner
I've been married ten years this March and I am pleased to announce that I have yet to reach this milestone.....
I like to preserve a little dignity.

Gawd, my ex wife would do that when i was in the bath, Dirty cow.
I've had a discussion on commitment and finances recently and didn't really get to a satisfactory conclusion.
The usual process seems to be (forgetting the smaller milestones) get together, see each other more, spend more time in one location, find a house together in that location, get married, have kids.
At which point in all of that do people become financially 'one'? When you get a shared house/married?
As it's not really the most romantic of topics it's rarely discussed and I've no idea how others deal with it?

She might have used the toilet.
No wonder you split up.

Blimey.....
Leaving a whole set of tolietries at your partners house, saves you taking your own / forgetting to take them when you leave.
Buying 2 of a CD, one for your place, one for theirs.
E-mailing / texting each other at exactly the same time, saying all but the same thing.
Getting your own wardrobe space (normally you give the ladies space, forget it the other way round; it'll never happen).

Christ alive! a bird who doesn't have the inbuilt autopilot of child production, nest security/maintenance! You my lady, are a biological oddity and if you fail to breed, the mutation which has left you without this critical programming will die with you. 
Seriously, what is the real commitment issue here? If you fail to commit after a period of time, usually it is the woman who pulls the plug, as a slave to her biological clock.
