My sister has been dating a pro baseball player for almost 4 years... She travels and stays with him during the season... He seems to really care about her but I'm beginning to wonder if she is wasting her time... I can't really tell if his feelings for her are sincere, and I am starting to believe that he just wants someone around so he won't be coming home to a lonely house after his games...plus she pretty much does everything for him... he's a nice guy and they get along...and, i know that marriage is important to her and I also know that it doesn't take 4 years to decide if you want to marry the person...and they are both definitely at a marrying age... this is why I think she may be wasting her time with him. bc i know i would not stick around for that long if marriage was important to me. On top of that, he is a good looking pro athlete so him being completely loyal to her is very unlikely I think...also bc i've heard that he was known to be a ladies man...and i want whoever she marries to be devoted and good to her...i haven't talked to her about this bc i dont want to hurt her feelings...the divorce rate for pro athletes is 60-80%...infidelity being the main cause...so what do you guys think?

I dated an NFL player. It's fun for a time, but it gets old. They can pretty much get whoever they want, whenever they want. I don't think they all cheat or anything. I didn't stick around long enough to see. It takes a strong person to be with someone in the spotlight like they are. after seeing girls barrel down pedestrians to get to him, I was not feelin' it.

 

Most likely you're not going to persuade her to do anything with her relationship, though. IMO, it's best not to try bc you'll go nuts trying to control things which are OUT of our control. :)
