the latter

I think they have to be willing to leave. When we were dating, several guys tried to steal my wife, but she dumped all of them to stay with me.

Guess it depends on how hard they try.

The song Family Man by Hall and Oats helps explain it.

But he said, "Leave me alone. I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite."
He said, "Leave me alone. I'm a family man
If you push me too far, I just might."

Cheers!

It doesn't happen against their will or by accident .. that only leaves a conscious choice

If he left me... was he ever "mine" in the first place???

Both conditions are correct.

They would have to willingly cheat or leave on their own. If someone really loves you and wants to be with you then they can't be stolen.

Can i steal you?

Ask the alcohol. Longing. Stress. I think it's ridiculous to assume a person who leaves doesn't have feelings of wanting to stay.

To treat leaving as diametric or unilateral is just coping. Relationships are comolex. It's not worth steriotyping everyone who seperates to be with someone else.

No ...it's a choice

Nobody steals anybody. People give themselves away. They choose to do it. No amount of temptation can make you do anything that you commit to not doing.

Rest assured, I will get the blame. Somehow, some way.😂

Only a partner thats looking for the door.

Nobody can steal your partner. Two honest and devoted people will stay together and talk about their expectations and requirements.

Someone who leaves without Provocation was never a partner. They were a bus stop. It’s not a loss. It’s a gift. A gift of time and dedication and a future.

Someone who cheats and/or lies, says, “It didn’t men anything” and expects to continue as before is not serious person. By serious I don’t mean they don’t laugh and joke. I mean they have no genuine concept of adult commitment, of what it means when one says “I love you.”

They are paper dolls, mannequins, and there’s nobody valuable inside. The very words “it didn’t mean anything” are a self-description.

Just leave the baggage at the bus stop and continue on your journey. There’s a grown up out there for you.

You can't "steal" someone who doesn't first want to be stolen. People who boost their ego by saying that the other person wasn't doing this or that and that's why their partner came to them are just blowing smoke and to be honest all it really takes is someone throwing it out there and being willing. Especially these days.🤷🏾‍♀

If she looks incredible then she doesn't need to mess with someone else's bf as she will be hit on by every guy, unless he is really something special.. rich or famous, then they just might.
It might be like a challenge to them. See how far she can get, for giggles.

that second one. people aren't possessions.

but sometimes some people will go to great lengths to help people feel like they'd like to leave

who's actually there for anyone?

someone with no\little experience could be stolen. some women will believe everything a guy says

If it were to happen, I guess it means he did me a favour. If I were ever to get him alone in an alley, it might not seem that way though

Not sure about a previous wanting to leave
Quite sure that someone that don´t choose you is not worth keeping

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If not, it was never meant to be. ...or, it means you guess right on the postage.

I usually stay single so I wouldn't want to know
