[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont understand being strung along.   If your goal is to be married after a year or two of dating, then move on when that doesn’t happen.  What am I missing?   Being strung along makes it sound like women are passive and have no control of their own destiny.  Don’t blame the man for your inability to move own.   [/quote]

I’m a pretty pragmatic person, and I knew that I wanted to be a mother from an early age.  So I had this conversation twice in my twenties.

But you have to realize that this is a weird conversation to have.  On one hand, I am completely head over heels in love with you and want to wake up with you every morning and be with you until the day that I die.  On the other hand, I’m fine walking away tomorrow and never seeing you again if you don’t feel the same way.

I mean, it’s hard to initiate a break-up and stick to it when you are really in love with the other person and want to be with them.

Not when you care more about having kids than who you have them with.[/quote]

Like I said, I only did it one time.  The second time I had this conversation, I got married.  But it’s really hard to break up with someone even when you care more about being able to have your own family one day than you do about being in that particular relationship. 
 
If you aren’t particularly set on something concrete that makes you incompatible long term, I can imagine that it’s even harder to break up, and it’s easy to get strung along for years.
