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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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.
