She got her man

Brandy and Monica are set to do a new duet soon!
So the guy from the other day, JB, had another little gem he dropped.  He tells the following story about a couple he knows and how they got together:

I just saw a beautiful wedding album. That wedding album was produced because the bride did something I dont think a lot of women would do. When she and the groom were dating, he was seeing another woman, and had no interest in committing to her. He told her this, and said 'I'll let you two handle it.' The [then dater, now] bride set up a dinner with the other woman, and let her know she wasn't going anywhere. A few days later, the other woman ended her relationship with the [now] groom.  The wedding took place about two years after that dinner. Are there any ladies in here that would have done that?
Now many of the responses he received were nothing nice.  Some women said the guy in the story was a coward, that the woman was desperate and that the relationship was destined for no good.

I disagree.  At the time in the story that dinner took place, the guy was dating both women without commitment, as far as I can see.  The woman took the steps, she felt were necessary to get what she wanted.

She did not bust any windows out of any cars, bleach any clothes, or get into a crazy cat fight.  She had a mature discussion with the other lady and the lady decided to leave the situation.  Now...is it the best of scenarios? HECK NO!

But the truth is, often people have "potentials" around and are indecisive about whom to choose and dedicate themselves to.  Further, people always complain about the people they date not being honest.  This man was honest.  And the woman went in with full knowledge of the situation.  They had an extended courtship (two years) before they married.

What are your thoughts?  Does it matter how the relationship started? Would you have gone that route?
