The reality more often is the girlfriend giving the boyfriend all the sex he wants until she gets him to “put a ring on it” then cutting him off and denying sex, which leads to divorce and ka-ching, she walks with half. Wash, rinse, repeat.
If she’s dating other guys, he’s not her “boyfriend.”
The best advice to give women who want to get married is:
Don’t wait until you’re in your 30s.
I’m sure she won’t mind if her BF does the same!
What’s good for the gander is good for the goose and all that..
The boyfriend is likely to interpret that as you have no interest in being exclusive with him.
Sounds like my first wife.
Without commitment, there is nothing to have fidelity to. Chastity, meaning no intercourse outside marriage, was the unspoken standard among Christians until very recently. The idea of “going steady” is a recent invention. Of course, the open ended multi-year “engagement” is now common.
The nation that elected merkel are queer ass folke.
If a woman has to deploy this underhanded “trick” to get herself married I wouldn’t marry her and neither would any other self-respecting guy.
Who would like to live the rest of their lives wiht a c*nt like that?
Exactly
Sadly, yes.
I don’t think her refusing to be exclusive until engaged makes her a c*nt.... Fact you want to call someone names for that choice, I think really speaks more to your character than hers.
I really don’t see a “trick” here, if a man truly wanted to be exclusive with her for the rest of their lives, then he really shouldn’t have a problem asking her to marry.
I don’t think that’s the best way to start a healthy relationship, but its hardly a “trick”. After all, what reason should a man or woman have to be exclusive, just because the other one desires it, but offers no benefit for it?
Pretending you are pregnant is a trick... being completely honest and up front that you have no intention of being exclusive until engaged is not a trick.
If they were not becoming intimate before marriage, a lot of these problems would not exist.
Makes sense to me. I never stopped dating until I was proposed to.
Why would a man expect exclusivity without commitment? Perhaps stupid women do that.
But intelligent women expect commitment and marriage.
Since when does dating mean having sex?
Any strong and upright man will not put up with a girlfriend still playing the field.
You pop the question in just 3 months, you're asking for alimony hell.
BTW, can you see the event? "I know you just slept with Jose on Monday night, hose B on Wednesday night, and this morning with Chad, but will you marry me?

Oh I didn’t know that.
To me dating has always meant going out to do things together.
Sleeping with someone was “sleeping with someone.”
There's definitely more than one word :-)
