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.

Congrats on staying together that long!

FYL OP and I understand how it feels. It could have been as respectful as a "dear, we could consider that in the future", rather than a strange comment that skirts the issue altogether

Tell hi well since there is no reason to stay in the relationship you will be on your way.

Six yrs. in a serious relationship is ample time to decide if you want to be married to that person. It sounds like you agree with that. You now know how he feels. If you are really serious, tell him you feel like taking the next step. If, after six years, he doesn't want to do that, you will either have to deal with it or walk away. Just make sure you are prepared to do what you say. If you tell him you will leave, then leave, or you will have prooved what he said is true.

Take a break. It seems like he's very immature.

I personally disagree with everyone saying to leave him or take a break. Yes he's being insensitive, but boys will be boys; if you love him enough to have stayed with him for six years, then you must have something special. Make it work if it's worth it, OP!

If she wants to be married and he doesn't it's not going to work. They clearly each want completely different things out of life. Some may say it's no big deal, but those are only those who think marriage is no big deal. To those who think it is, the perspective is completely different. He isn't likely to change his mind, so the OP needs to give him an ultimatum and flat out say that if he isn't interested in getting married she can't be with him anymore.
