This is a problem. I know at least 3 women that dated a guy for years with the understanding that marriage was in the cards, only for the guy to up and leave one day. If you are stringing a girl along in the prime of her life, you are stealing something from her she can never get back. And I’m not talking about an implied marriage, I’m saying that guys repeatedly stating their intentions to marry while secretly planning their escape. It’s a fucked up and brutal thing to do, and there is really no inverse of the situation for men. I blame families for not pressuring their sons to settle down.
