[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for the ex. That's a long time to date someone (plus they had a dog and house) without a ring. That's a good chunk of her life gone. Clearly he wasn't into her. He wasted no time with Hailee.[/quote]

+1 That's how it happens though. A man who strings along a woman for a long time without marriage just isn't into her. Women need to be smart and break up if the relationship isn't moving forward the way they want, not plod along with moving in together, getting pets, god forbid babies, etc. [/quote]

I agree. I think a max of two years if you are in your mid-20s is long enough. [/quote]

+1 And if he's not broaching the topic of marriage within 6-12 months, then leave. A man who's madly in love with a woman doesn't need prodding.

Back in the day, I lived in a group house. Two of our roommates went to college together and had a tight-knit group of friends in the area. The female roommate was in a sorority with a female who dated a guy on and off for 10 years who was in a fraternity with our male roommate.

The guy was stringing her along. He would come over and talk to the male roommate about all the things he didn't like about her. He would downplay the relationship and say it wasn't serious. Once he called her psycho and our roommate told him that he was making her psycho. He always dangled a carrot in front of her - if she would just fix X then they could move forward. But these ever-changing goal posts were just an excuse to avoid committing to her.

Then she would come over to talk to our female roommate to work earnestly on trying to fix whatever the X of the day was. Their conversations were totally different. Her version was they were madly in love and didn't need marriage to prove it (because that's the lie he told her). According to her, they were inevitably getting married and just had some hurdles to clear first. She had no idea about the horrible things he would say about her behind her back. He finally broke up with her for good, but only after wasting her best years.

Another couple was engaged for over a decade and he always had a reason to avoid getting married. For years he claimed that he just didn't know what type of wedding he wanted. She bought it (dumbass). They bought a rowhouse together had two kids while he's still talking about finding the right person behind her back. He complained behind her back about her pressuring him into having kids. He said he didn't want them after they were born (but not to her, obviously). They did fertility treatments to have those kids! It's not like he was tricked into it.

I lost track of them but they just kept moving forward without marriage. She was deluding herself into thinking they're in love but just unconventional. He deluded himself into thinking he's still on the market to find Mrs. Right even while buying a home together, having kids, etc. with someone else.[/quote]
