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

If you want to get married, I'd consider walking away. He can't give you what you want. Especially if u want kids and don't have them yet.

Yeah, I'd agree with the others. Dump his ass and see how he likes living without you.

Shame you're in MA. In some states, if you're living together that long, you'd be common law married.

This all really depends on how happy you are in the relationship, longevity has nothing to do with it. I was unhappily married for 14 years, then he left. Best thing he ever did for me, I found so many great guys! I'm happily married now. BUT, if you two are really made for each other, then I'd say you need to have a long talk. If it's not that important to you, let it be. If you want kids and want them to be born in wedlock, or if you want the legal benefit of marriage, then, think seriously about living your life without this guy and get single again.

Your boyfriend is an idiot! Doesn't seem worth it sticking around

Have a serious talk with him. If it's your dream to be married, tell him. If he truly loves you, he'll want to make you happy and truly name you his in every way possible. Good luck OP! (Btw sticking together for six years without marriage is a big achievement nowadays! Congrats on your loyalty)

when you say bf of 6 years, is that how long u have been with him or his actual age?

If marriage is important to you, talk to him about it. If it isn't something you've brought up before maybe he doesn't know you care. If you have and he still feels that way, talk go him about that. It's an important topic, especially 6 years in.
