Gossip & Opinions / Re: How to "nicely" escape a relationship where pressured to propose?
« Last post by Flexacon on Today at 06:04:38 AM »Same pertinent questions I’ll ask again:
1. What is the point of being “boyfriend and girlfriend” past 23 years old, the age at which most people are done with education or professional training?
2. Why do men live with women they are not going to form a family with or who share serious life goals with?
Being a “boyfriend” is one of the lowest positions a grown man can be in.
Sounds more like you're looking for reasons to justify your marriage
You have it the wrong way round. Being a long term girlfriend is the lowest position.
A long term "boyfriend" who is in control of the relationship dynamics can have all the benefits he would get in a marriage without giving the "girlfriend" the commitments that might be expected of him in a marriage.
It's actually a pretty selfish thing to do as the boyfriend is basically having his cake and eating it.
