It happens. That's why if a guy doesn't want to get married and you do, it's best to end it instead of wasting years and years with that person. As for men, I can't really understand the concept of a convenient girlfriend. Either you're feeling it or you're not.
he obviously hadn't metthe right person yet no real mystery there. as for your friend it really took her wasting 20 years to finally realize he wasn't going to marry her?
What I find illogical is staying with someone for that long when you have the expectation of marriage. There are a multitude of things that could have happened, and I think previous responses have addressed that.
I don't think twenty years with someone is a waste. All relationships have a course and inevitably end. They probably both learned from each other. No relationship is a waste. Everything in your life is an opportunity to learn and grow. The only thing that's wasting is the person who feels that way.
My ex never wanted to get married which was fine with me because I didn't see us long term, and he married someone within a year of the break-up.
My current husband vowed never to get married again, and I was fine with that, but now we're married.
Though his ex sent a scathing letter when she found out.

One possibility is he realized how easy he had it being a couple. After he realized he didn't like being alone for a few years, he married the next one (likely she would only stay if they married). It's possible the ones in between wanted marriage and left after finding out he wasn't interested. He finally wised up.
This happens a lot. Unfortunately. Men who said they would never marry YOU, get married to the next woman they meet. Women who might have been ONE way with you, get with another guy and are completely a different woman. It happens a lot. Chances are that person just didn't *feel* enough or want that commitment with you. But with another person that "swept" he/she away, they were willing to. It's sad, but after 3-5 years she should have left. Her fault for staying 20 years.
