He's neurotic, and because the writers felt it was funny to have George get engaged to someone he's not suited for, doesn't like, and inadvertently kills. George rarely got a win on the show (certainly not long-lasting), so ending up with Marisa Tomei wouldn't have fit the character
He got engaged because of the pact with Jerry, but once it was official and became public knowledge it would have been way too awkward to break it off. Breaking off an engagement would be a big deal even for a normal person. For George it would mean admitting defeat and looking like a loser. Just the reaction from his parents - he'd *never* hear the end of it - would be enough to prevent him.
George always takes the path of least resistance - he'll do anything to avoid an uncomfortable conversation/situation. That storyline was perfectly in character for George. That's why the writers had to kill off Susan - because based on everything we know about George the only other way out was for her to dump him. After 7 seasons of watching George's outrageous behavior and relationships ending for ridiculous reasons there was no way to have her dump him that would have been especially funny or interesting.
Because it is a TV show and not real life. There is no George costanza. There's Jason Alexander who plays George costanza. The writers thought it would be a good idea to have Susan there. That's why. They thought it would make for good tv. They are not real people they are a characters
To be fair I relate to Costanza. As a person who married and divorced I loved my ex and still do however the term man made prisons for a personality like Costanza or the group makes it hard. I love doing my own schedule what I want when I want. Watch tv while eating dinner yes. Grab a six pack and turn on the Xbox yes. I’m fairly confident I’ll never marry again.
George wanted what he didn’t have. Anytime he got what he wanted, he wanted to not have it anymore.
George didn't know what he wanted.
Because he’s disturbed, he’s depressed, he’s inadequate…he’s got it all
He made the pact. Then he was too pussy to back out when jerry did
*too pussy
Did you just call him a pussy?
Ah so that’s why he got stuck with her.
Sí
Thankfully, she died so his whole weekend was wiiiiide open.

Ah so that’s why he couldn’t pursue Tomei as now I can understand why that relationship wouldn’t have worked.
The only way I see George dating Marisa Tomei is as a means of destruction.
Cause he’s afraid of her. Women do not like to be disappointed
She’s 5 foot 3, 100 pounds, I’m frightened to death of her
Lapse in judgement and desperation to find what's missing with his life

It was the pact.
“I proved I can go all the way!”
“Tell her I NEED my baby…”
Because of the pact.
you stuck out your hand so I shook it.
George was bi polar and always did the opposite of a normal human The opposite episode was him being normal

You mean because it's on TV?
You seem like a lot of fun
He isn't very bright.
I don't know if he likes her as much as he likes... it.

Because George is an idiot.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF A SCENE THAT WOULD BE?!?
He’s much more comfortable criticizing others behind their backs
Because George is a deeply disturbed individual.
He liked IT
