I personally believe that commitment, or at very least the desire for a committed relationship with a given person, must be present before one can say one is 'in love'. Otherwise it's just liking, infatuation, desire.
So, yeah, being in love does mean, among other things, being faithful to the person. The reason I say this is that being in love is something where the (at least ideal) logical conclusion is a relationship of oneness.
This in turn means that a breakup or a third party coming into the picture just should not happen, and if it does after you've already created that relationship of oneness (by committing to each other and making love), you do a lot of damage. Heartbreak. Or if not that, destruction of the ability to love and give of yourself.
Much better therefore to fix things so you really take complete responsibility for your lives and decisions, put each other first and make a permanent commitment. If you do that, then you spare yourself a lot of temptation and trouble because you've fixed your mind on doing what needs to be done to make the relationship good and lasting.

being in love with someone is to show some affection and to have love feelings for that person. To be commited can be by a love bond based on family relation, a responsability and etcs. To be commited means love with responsabilities

the difference is that when you are committed with some one you want to be with the person the rest of your life but if you are in love you can say it is a temp thing but you can be committed by being in love

when you are invovled with someone, you spend time with them and do all kinds of things. they are not obligated to you and and you are not obligated to them. you can see other people if you like. when you are committed to someone, you are obligated to them, you can't see other people, and you areexclusively with them and only them.
