    JUST told someone I was involved with, “I’m not sure who you want, but I am confident it’s not me & I will not be a placeholder until you meet & find who you really want. I’m done.”
    He said he didn’t think I was being fair & he didn’t want me to end it.
    I haven’t looked back.

I've had it happen to me I've had it happen to friends it's not just a short-term relationship .....they will use you to have their needs met for years always having some type of excuse as to why they're not ready to broach the subject of marriage ....and when you break up with them these Jokers go marry somebody else within a year or two's time
