Why do women complain he won't marry them and they stay with them?

[Anonymous]

Why are woman staying with men that they complain about, that won't marry them? I don't get it. Some even allow their boyfriends to move in to their house, some of these boyfriends even promised to help fix up their house and haven't done a thing. He's a manchild not a boyfriend. Are they that lonely?

Because they don't think anyone else is more likely to marry them either, and starting over would delay their childbearing significantly, perhaps make it impossible.

Some of them don't even have any children. Just let a man live in their house not marry them and not give them any kids and complain about it. It's so strange to me.

Probably because the invested too much time, don't want to start all over.

If you don't know them well enough to know the answer, I can assure you it is none of your business as much as you may enjoy putting down random women you don't know on the internet for THEIR choices.

A woman would rather have the chance with a perceived alpha than have the commitment from a beta

Is it generally the same reason any person stays in a situation that isn't good for them? It could be complacency, fear, or lack of self-worth.

People try to handwave it away, but generally speaking, a woman’s capacity for monogamous bonding is enormous. She only becomes desensitized to or rejects pair bonding to the extent that this faculty has been irrepairably damaged.

She will ride until the very end even for an *absolutely awful* man if that’s who’s she’s chosen as her heart interest. It is not societally dictated, it’s simply how she loves as a woman.

Sunk cost fallacy.

Almost never works out from what I’ve seen.

Pathetic lack of self-worth and can't be alone for 5 minutes. I know a person like this and she's an alcoholic too. Likes to embarrass herself at her own parties.
