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

I guess I'm not surprised the number of people saying what' the big deal, just disappointed. There's a reason gays are fighting tooth and nail for the right to get married. For $50 in most areas you can get a whole mess of legal rights in one easy place. My cousin wasn't married to his girlfriend, the mother of his child. When the 3 of them were killed together in a car accident her parents buried her and the child before even telling his parents. Asinine yes but the only reason they could do that is the police had no idea who he was, it was her car and they weren't married. If the child had survived my aunt would have to fight legally for visitation rights. She said she was told if only the mother hand been killed he would have had to prove paternity before being able to visit the child in the hospital because in their state next of kin would have been the mother's parents and they could have blocked his visits. Hospital visitation rights, parental rights, rights in case of untimely death: these are all built into the marriage license. And if it doesn't work and you can do an amicable divorce then you pay like $400. Balance that against trying to do a 2 person mortgage, file school paperwork if you have kids or heaven forbid one of you loses a job or in one way or another needs to go on the other's insurance.

Explain to him that you want to make it official

He's saying you're a faithful partner in a very poorly way

Time to prove him wrong. Dump his ass now. He's not going to just change his mind later. If you want to be married someday it won't be with him. Seriously, move on and fast.

He clearly doesn't understand the concept of marriage- you don't do it to stop the other person from leaving. You do it because you never want to leave them. 6 years is a long time, so it's a tough situation, but if he doesn't see the flaw in his reasoning you might want to re-evaluate your entire relationship. This statement, to me anyway, sets off a lot of alarms.

You should propose to him, sense he ain't going to do it.
