Today, after five years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed to me. The words "just think of the tax breaks" were uttered. FML

Were those one of the first words he said during the proposal or did he say that later on to try to convince you to marry him? I feel that makes a difference...

What about "5 years of dating" sounds rushed to you?

I know what you mean #11; if he said it right after 'will you marry me?', it'd sound like he's just using her for the tax breaks. If OP thought about it for a while, it probably made him nervous, & he was trying to give her reasons to say yes.

He'll probably combine the wedding with a business trip so he gets a tax write-off

OP won't be poor after she claims a few of those tax breaks.

Guys it is a smart idea! It makes more income for you everyone when taxes come in. It's beneficial doesn't mean he doesn't love her. He spent 5 years with her before. So you know he isn't just doing it for the money.
