There's been some discussion here of a book on how to get a husband.
Let me tell you about my experience with someone who could
have written that book. A woman I had just started
to date began doing things like cleaning my apartment, bringing
me expensive gifts, taking on all my hobbies and interests and
viewpoints, etc. There were several strange incidents also: she
got "sick" and had me take her to the emergency room a couple
of times. Each time, they found nothing more than a simple cold.
These incidents seemed to coincide with my wanting a little space
in the relationship.
In a fairly short time, I figured out that this wasn't going to work 
and ended the relationship. One week later she told me she was pregnant!
She also said she planned to have the baby. I went through a lot
of agony at this point. I resisted the pressure to get married.
This was fortunate since she was NOT pregnant after all.
When I learned this, I broke off all communication with this poor,
sick person. She was beyond any help I could give her without
seriosly hurting myself.
Several months later, I observed her with a new guy and apparently
putting the same sort of "moves" on him. I learned a lot from
this experience!
