[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been strung along, but i'm pretty quick to see it happening and get out.  Honestly, a lot of people don't realize they're stringing you along.  They may like you, they just don't like you enough to take it where you want it to go.  I can't really fault those people.  I would fault a person who actively lies and says, "I want marriage/babies/whatever" but has no intention of doing that stuff with anyone.

I'm a pretty secure person, so if a relationship starts making me feel insecure, I realize it's not good for me and get out.  I'm pretty good at recognizing when something is unhealthy. That's not to say that I won't sometimes sleep with the guy later anyway, after knowing it's unhealthy.  Sometimes I will.  But in those cases, I'm going in with open eyes and it's no biggie.[/quote]

I agree with most of this. Some people (both men and women) just will not let go of one branch until they've got hold of another. I don't think it's fair or healthy, but I also think from their mindset, they assume everyone else does it too. To them, if someone leaves a relationship without their next "opportunity" in mind, if not locked down, that relationship must be absolutely horrendous or abusive or something. Otherwise, you'd just stay until/unless you saw if someone better turned up, because being in a relationship you're happy in is best, but being in one that only mildly dissatisfying is better than being alone.
