I have a friend from high school who honestly thought the guy she was with was a keeper and they'd eventually get married, then the next, then the next, then the next.... Before she knew it she'd been with so many guys she couldn't recall how many there had been from her early-20s to mid-30s. Compounding things further, it was a small community where everybody knew each other. She didn't say it exactly this way but I easily imagine she could walk down the street any given day and not bump into a former lover, most new prospects for marriage would likely be friends of relatives of one of her past partners and she eventually packed up her life and moved to a larger city. A really nice girl who was just a little naive, allowed herself to be taken advantage of in search of true love, had difficulties with long-term relationships and like a teenager just dumped her boyfriends (or got dumped) at the first sign of conflict starting with her high-school sweetheart who's heart she crushed
; a pattern she never seemed to break until recently.
That said, you can't bounce from relationship to relationship and not experience major social consequences if you live in a small town where everybody knows each other, especially not females.
