At some point, maybe after a few years of dating, people will start to develop expectations of where the relationship will be going/ending up.
In other words: am I wasting my time or will we be spending the rest of our lives together?

So it really shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that some women have made it very clear that they have had enough!
Like the story of the woman who stormed into a supermarket wearing a wedding dress and demanding her boyfriend to marry her then and there.

Following in her footsteps is Gertrude Ngoma who told a Zambian court that she feels her boyfriend isn't serious about their relationship.

He then also went on to state that he has been holding back in the relationship because Gertrude has not been giving him enough attention.
Just like the judge presiding over the case, we feel that these two should drop the kid at the babysitter, have a romantic date night, and reconcile their differences out of court.
