“...the Doctor has sort of hung around in her life for far too long. He never says it out loud, but he obviously has an MO. 'I'll get out before I screw up their chances of happiness. I'll run away, and let them grow up. I'll go and find somebody else to mess about with.' But he's accidentally ended up with a married couple in the TARDIS, because he ran alway with Amy on the night of her wedding, and now he's in the most dreadful pickle. "
Steven Moffat, DWM 433

It's one of the mild annoyances of New Who that there seems to be this idea that companions can only be pried out of the TARDIS with a crowbar for their own good, when the fact is that over the whole series, the majority of them left of their own free will, having found something/somewhere/someone they liked better.
