Today, my boyfriend of 6 years told me that since I've proven my loyalty and faithfully stuck by his side, he has no reason to ever consider marrying me, because "It's not like you're going anywhere, honey." He seems not to understand why I am upset by this. FML

Same thing different taste
Today, I asked my boyfriend why he didn't believe in marriage. His response was, "I believe in marriage. Just not marriage with you." FML
Goddammit, Facebook!
Today, my boyfriend of three years told me he isn't sure about me anymore. He said he saw a quote on Facebook that a guy can be with a girl for 10 years, then leave, and be with a girl for one and marry that girl. Meanwhile, I've been planning on the rest of my life with him in my head. FML
Reasonable
Today, my boyfriend said, "I won't marry you, but I want to spend my life with you." When I told him that upset me, he said, "My ex completely changed once we got married, and I like you as you are now." FML
Storage wars
Today, my boyfriend of almost 5 years told me that his reason for staying with me is because he doesn't want to go through our storage unit to decide who would get what. We've had the storage unit for 2 years. FML
It's certainly some sort of proposal
Today, I thought my boyfriend of six years was going to propose to me. We're high school sweethearts and he was my first. Just as he was looking into my eyes he said, "I've been seeing someone else for two years and I'm choosing her over you... it was a tough decision." FML
Valid concerns
Today, my boyfriend admitted he didn't want to marry me, not because he doesn't want to spend his life with me, but because he'd seen two friends get ruined by divorce settlements, and he "doesn't want my hooks in him." I love him with all my heart and would never dream of pulling a marriage con. FML
Alexa, play "Rent" by Pet Shop Boys
Today, I demanded to know why my boyfriend even stays with me if he’s not interested in marriage or children, hates my family, barely talks to me when he gets home, and seems uninterested in sex. Apparently, the cheap rent on my flat was his sole interest in me. FML
Waiting around
Today, my fiancé of two years told me he was bored of me and he'd just prolonged the engagement to see if anyone more interesting would come along in the mean time. He was upset because no one did. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told his friend that he decided a long time ago that he would never be faithful to a woman. I was sitting next to him. FML
Wedding bells
Today, my boyfriend of several years told me the only way he’d ever consider getting married was if we had no wedding, just signing the paper at the courthouse with no ceremony or guests whatsoever, and as long as we don’t tell anyone about it. He doesn’t get why I’m devastated. FML

Leave him, just to prove him wrong.

His brain works in mysterious ways... What an asshole.

I was thinking he's more of an idiot but I guess maybe he kind of an asshole.

It seems likely he has Asperger's/Autism; like myself, he thinks putting logic before other people's feelings, and does'nt fully understand what he's done. I know I've inadvertantly hurt a few partners before and I feel awful about it afterwards.

#106 I have Autism/Aspergers and I'm 100% sure that I want marriage. However, for the rest of the point, yeah I've done that too. I always manage to seem to hurt people, rather directly or indirectly, and sometimes I wouldn't even realise it until later on. I feel like such an asswipe sometimes.

If he thinks marriage is not a big deal you can propose to him. Is not that common but it happens :) good luck OP.

He's a "boy enemy" by the looks of it.

sounds like he needs a pet, not a partner.

Sometimes, when a proposal is going to be a surprise, to cover for the complete obvious, a boyfriend might say he's not into marriage at all. You know him and yourself better than anyone here knows either of you. You're frustrated, I get that, but please don't take advice from strangers, including myself, who've no idea about your life.

It seems like he's an insensitive prick!!! Your best bet is to leave him now and prove him wrong!

Yes, throwing away a 6 year relationship to prove a point isn't manipulative at all! How about you grow the **** up and actually talk to your partner instead of ruining everything.

Stop suggesting breaking up! Good lord, have mercy! Breaking up is not always the answer!

The solution is simple - prove him wrong.
