It's not a commitment without marriage.
There is more than one way to answer this.
A) I don't want a commitment.
B) That's your assertion. Your opinion doesn't make it true.
People make commitments, including in romantic relationships, all of the time without a bad state contract.
Legally marrying isn't a commitment to anything other than default paternity and the spouse who earns more paying the other spouse.
It's very clear some people commit without legally marrying and some people legally marry but aren't committed to caring for, or staying with, the other person.
Commitment is demonstrated in behavior.
Let's consider two couples. The first couple never marries, but they take care of each other with love, kindness, and affection for decades, until death. The second couple gets married, cheat on each other, generally treat each other like crap, and break up. Who was truly committed?
