Commitment harassment

A form of social pressure that attempts to shame a person into abandoning a lifestyle that is happy and free. It is often done in a non-confrontational (but sneaky) way, such as asking someone who is divorced and not currently engaged, "So, WHEN are you getting married again?"
What do you mean, "WHEN am I getting married again?" I already did my time. Come on now, isn't it time to stop commitment harassment of happy people?

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to sparklemotion. 

A reference indicating that the person being doubted is lacking in the mock politeness required to convince someone that the person really cares about attending to events, duties or rituals that no-one should ever be asked to perform.

From a quote from the movie Donnie Darko. Sparklemotion is a set of six year old girls doing a Solid Gold dancers act.
You're not going to the Berkeley protest for organic leeks? Somehow I doubt your commitment to Sparklemotion!

Kardashian Commitment:

an insincere, temporary or fraudulent commitment to a long term goal without true intention of follow-through; a false commitment made for personal gain without intention of follow-though. Investors, Frauds and con men often make Kardashian Commitments.
Candidate Dufty made a Kardashian commitment to the disabled woman in promising to help get her a wheelchair. His staff later explained that with so many people standing around, Dufty couldn't say no. However, he regrets not being able to help as he was busy campaigning for the people.

commitment 

Commitment is what
Transforms the promise into reality.
It is the words that speak
Boldly of your intentions.
And the actions which speak
Louder than the words.
It is making the time
When there is none.
Coming through time
After time after time,
Year after year after year.
Commitment is the stuff
Character is made of;
The power to change
The face of things.
It is the daily triumph
Of integrity over skepticism.
When I say I love you, I mean that I'm committed to working to love you even when it's hard.

Commitmentphobe 

One who cannot or will not commit to anyone in any given relationship, although they make sounds to the contrary. It is what happens when the player tries to "settle down" and moves into serial monogamy.
Bill told Sandra she is "the one" for her birthday, again. He's done that 7 of the last 9 years they have been together but never pops the question; he's such a commitmentphobe.
