I am not reading into this situation that he was a bad awful creep and therefore you should never trust another man. Ladies take heed..likewise gents..this is what the RUles says and I think it is true..if he loves you enough..he will marry you. Fairly soon on in the process. If he does not marry you, there could be other reasons, but the main one is probably he does not love you enough. If you are not married, (and sometimes if you are) you are therefore quite vulnerable to being left in the lurch..otherwise he would have married you...see how it works? So ask him fairly soon if he wants to be married or not, at least in a theoretical way. If that does not jibe with what you want, part from him first.
