Yeah I have to say I agree.

Not only is it inadvisable to fight for someone who cheats pre-marriage - it's also illegal!

If you go around exposing to people you could easily be sued. A wife can truthfully say her husband broke an exclusive agreement and legally committed adultery. Those are the legal facts, it is not a matter of perspective.

A girlfriend can't prove they had an agreement to be exclusive and even if they were living together it isn't legally adultery.

It's one of the reasons Dr H says get a cheap wedding if you have to and pack the place with witnesses. They may be your exposure targets someday.

He even mentions education debt in this article as one of the reasons people give for not taking care of this.

What would you do if you were not afraid?

> Plan B is not appropriate for your situation .

If not Plan A and also not Plan B then what??? What can a woman do to save the relationship? I am puzzled what Dr. Harley advises women to do if anything at all.

Jenni, Plan A and Plan B are for couples who are married. They will not necessarily work for couples who live together or are dating.

So, strictly technically speaking, you cannot Plan A or Plan B since they are specific plans for specific situations.

It may be good for you, though, to kick your boyfriend out and have no contact with him unless he is willing to commit to you (and only you) in marriage. It would sort of look like Plan B, and a lot of people would call it "Plan B" when they are being less technical and are simply referring to the "No Contact" aspect of Plan B.

That said, I'd stay on your original thread if I were you. The posters who are posting to you know what they are talking about.

You two are not married. He could legally marry another woman tomorrow. I think you have your evidence that he is not the right man for you. If he will cheat during the exclusive dating stage when he is supposed to be on his best behavior and trying to win you over, he will cheat after marriage.
BTW, my husband and I only paid $40 for our marriage license and the minister performed our ceremony free of charge.
