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

Have you not talked about it in the 6 years you've been together? If not then maybe it's not all his fault.

Time to leave his side. He's arrogant and selfish to say something like that, and either he needs to grow up and figure this out, or you need to leave him. Go over the benefits of marriage with him; housing, hospital visitation, adoption, insurance, the works. There are about 2,500 rights and benefits that come with that piece of paper. And he's decided to deny you that? No. Sorry...but you may have wasted 6 years of your life. FYL. :(

Mostly agree, but don't ignore possible liabilities: How much debt does each have, what kinds, and under what terms? Especially look at US student loan debt and terms (sorry to say, sometimes draconian terms).

wedding is overrated ... even useless. love does not need a paper

Love may not need a piece of paper to be real, but the legal and financial benefits of marriage do. If you plan for your current relationship to be permanent it doesn't make logical sense not to get married.

As in, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. My mum always said it to me.

Seriously 6 years with no ring? Unless you yourself never wanted to get married you're just being a pushover, dump his ass unless he does right by you. Don't be a pushover

6 years seems pretty committed. That's not good enough? You should be together because you love each other not because a piece of paper says your f$?cked if he leaves you

He's been Mr. Right, but if your goals for the future are very different, he's Mr. Not Right Anymore. Stay with him ONLY if your goals will be met, as well.

I don't understand why everybody here is saying dump him. If I understand it correctly he likes you and wants to be with you, right?. You can propose him. In today's day and age I don't see why women should wait for a man to propose, its not 60s. At least it will clarify whether he is in this for the long haul or he has taken you for granted and died not want to work on what's important to you.
