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.

This FML made me laugh. I bet he was just joking with her or trying to put her off the scent of a proposal. If he isn't though, it's time for a talk.

You could've been the one to say it, then.

stop putting out, cleaning up after him, etc.. he'll get the hint. if he doesn't, he'll be offended and then you can let him know that the way he feels, you felt when he told you this.

Ya, because being a passive-aggressive child is how you get a guy to propose...

You two need to have a serious discussion. If you really want marriage, but he doesn't, you guys need to decide what would be the best for both of you. If you stay and never get married, if you really want it, you will start to resent him; if you give him an ultimatum, he will resent you. Good luck and is hope everything works out for both of you.

Most see marriage as a requirement of a successful relationship. A final step. It's not. The only benefit of marriage are the protection of the laws (sharing health benefits, survivor benefits, etc). If you don't need those things, then take a hard look at why marriage is necessary for you to be happy. Then explain it to him.
