[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read the thread about the 26yo whose 34yo boyfriend still hasn’t proposed after 3 years of dating and it has got me thinking about why men do this.

I know many women who’ve experienced this. The guy would always know that his girlfriend wants commitment and he knew he wasn’t planning to her give her that, yet, would continue to date her and waste years of her time.

Why aren’t they just upfront about their intentions and end the relationship?[/quote]

They want to continue the benefits (not just sex) for now and think the woman will be better behaved if she thinks a proposal is coming. I’m not guessing, I’ve had men tell me this about their gfs.

My cousin let a woman put him through grad school (tuition and living expenses) and then move him across country to a better job market because she thought he would propose once he had a good job. He told her that he couldn’t support a wife and kids without the degree and job. He left out that he was already divorced and had five kids by 3 women.

She invested the better part of her 30s with him. Three months after he’s settled in the new job market, she quit her job and moved out there only to find he was already dating someone else. I guess he found it really hard to cook his own meals and do his own laundry.[/quote]
