once they break up she will realize how much she really does love him... it always happens! the typical... never knew what you had until you lose it

That which the heart chooses with out consulting the head, it can just as easily unchoose the same way.

That said if she's not sure, and contemplating breaking up with him, she shouldn't marry him. Clearly the relationship isn't satisfying her needs. Is he aware of her feelings (or lack there of)?

Too many retarded answers in this thread.

People settle after a period of time.

Kai-dai 08-15-2010 07:00 AM

Is she happy being with the guy in the first place?

Oh yeah, just went through this with a married couple within my circle of friends. Oh the drama!!!

Girl 08-16-2010 11:48 AM

She's too comfortable to leave.

That's selfish.

My advice. Spare them both the time and leave. It's not fair for the guy and not fair for the girl who deserves that guy. Or what Osaka said, it takes losing something before you realize what you had. But keeping him around and her not being sure is just downright selfish. Nuh Uh, Girl does not approve.

whaaat r we suppose to do... after all that we've been through... now that the looove is gonne

The kind of 'love' that she is looking for will eventually fade into what she has with this bf anyhow so depending on how you look at it ... she is ahead of her time.

CA_FTW 08-19-2010 12:55 PM

love is a fricken choice..

there is no way you can feel that spark with someone forever..

you have to choose to love them and stay with them, and hope they do the same..

Or else screw it, and never have a long term relationship..

Mananetwork 08-20-2010 12:11 PM

I wouldn't say she's selfish but she's choosing what looks good on paper over love. It's great when you can find both.

I've met a couple women who have divorced because the man was great on paper but no love in the air! Don't let her make that mistake

Yet I haven't found any women who have left because he didn't make ends meet. Hmm

Ya, reason why I said "hmm". Strange because Vancouver seems like the place for for this.

RIGHT!! Now I know, they both weren't asian girls :lol

I know some guy who got married and then a few months down the road the wife told him she doesnt love him and want a divorce. Lost half his shit in the end. Good luck man.

The7even 08-29-2010 09:33 PM

She should break up. He's too good for her. Let her know please.
Women like that don't deserve shit.

iEatClams 09-04-2010 09:58 AM

Man. I had this talk with a buddy of mine too.

He's kinda in the same situation. He's dating this chick whose kinda hot, but she has no ambition and super lazy. barely works and doesnt do shiet. They've been together for 6 years now. Problem for him is. . . . . he loves her (cares for her), but not the romantic-type love where he wants to marry her.

Problem for him is. . .if he breaks up with her.. given his age (27), he doesn't think he can find anyone else (especially as good looking) and is afraid he'll end up single since he doesnt have many friends and finds it hard to meet other girls.

I guess in the long run, many people settle, and pretend like they are happily married couples. .. when they are not.

Mananetwork 09-04-2010 10:12 AM

^it's a gamble some people are not willing to make. 27 is still young and he's got a lot of time still!

Sounds like many a trophy wife in the making. Maybe the real reason why he can't break up is because the moment he leaves, she'll get snatched by another guy faster than he can snatch his next girl himself.

So he may not have a lot of margin of error when it comes to reneging on a breakup. :lol

Maybe a trophy wife, but what if she doesn't really have too much in common with him, then it's just looks as you say. The most fucked up thing about him is he doesn't find her that attractive anymore.

You know what the saying is "for every hot chick, theres a guy out there that's tired of fucking her".

I think as you get older, you care less about looks and more about the personality aspects. She's still head over heals for him though.

LiquidTurbo 09-05-2010 10:35 AM

pix or ban. haha jk.

I think the situation you described is what most people go through. LOL.
