She also mentioned she felt pressured by her family to enter into marriage, but again, it’s another cop out. She’s even resorting to throwing her family under the bus. To summarize, she isn’t capable of living away from her family. We got engaged then the only family she had in our town moved back home.
Interesting... I think it is possible to feel pressurised by family. In my sitch W was living with her parents when we met, then W and I lived together for 10 years. I've heard that at that point MIL told her to get married to me or find someone else. MIL was very keen for W (only child) to give her grandchildren. I've found out that the day before our wedding MIL went looking for baby clothes. We had 2 kids over a period of 10 years and then W and IL plotted to leave over a period of 5 years. W left 25 years to the month (could have been to the day) that we met. W cared more for her parents than for me, and she cared what they thought of her.
