She just (thought she) loved him in spite of it.
For the crime of stringing her along without expressly promising anything, somebody should key his car or slash his tires or sign him up on multiple porn sites using his work email or some similar harassment. If, however, he had promised her the moon without meaning it just to keep getting sex and adoration, then I think a maiming would be in order.

I wholeheartedly agree, and I'm not sure what he's promised or implied to her. (Most conversations I've had about this have been tear filled, so getting coherent responses is sort of difficult, and I've had to fill in some gaps myself.) The desire to maim arises from a description of a conversation with him where, right after dropping the bomb about the new relationship, he
asks for her advice about it. I am willing to chalk up a lot to male cluelessness, because I'm pretty much convinced that you have to bonk guys over the head with a two by four before they have a clue as to how you feel about something. But this insensitivity seemed to rise above mere negligence / cluelessness.
