That relationship leads to marriage, or at least thats the idea, but it seems these days a lot never get married or end up breaking up.

Culture is area specific, and not uniform. So yeah, things are different here and there.
Relationships sometimes become marriages. The cockamamie society we live in now results in a lot of divorces, frequently funneling people into "partnerships" for people who don't want to be legally obligated for other people's bad behavior.
Should they just have broken up instead of staying in a relationship where they don't have trust? Sure. But it isn't always that easy.
Life is complicated. Nothing of this is simple.
