>>82188725Love isn't the only reason people get together. At that stage in my life, I had low self-esteem and got rejected quite a bit. I was a backup boyfriend for her and knew I would make money as an engineer. So on the outside seems like "love" but it was mutually beneficial for both of us. I got attention and she got stability.
After a while and your lives get entangled, it's hard to just get up and leave. Especially if it's not something directly that is her fault.
Guys and girls get pressured into marriage all the time for whatever reason. She pushed me to do it eventually and I wasn't strong enough to say no. I dragged it out for a while too. But women get older and they want commitment.
It sounds easy to just break it off, but it's harder than you think.
For her to still want to be together after all the cheating, relationships can withstand ALOT of shit. And women as they get older realize they don't have the same leverage over men as they did. desu I don't think she could do better than me, despite the cheating and such.
