Today, the man I love and have lived with for over 5 years told me, “If you were the wifey type, I’d totally put a ring on it and make you mine forever.” So basically, all the cooking, cleaning, massages, and sex are all for nothing? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 love my husband to death and want sex all the time, meanwhile he claims he loves me too but constantly turns down sex and has even managed to negotiate a promise that I won’t ask for sex on special occasions like his birthday. What am I doing wrong? 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, I told my husband that I didn't feel like sex. He said, "Funny, I didn't feel like driving to the store for your milkshake earlier, or digging up the flowerbed, or deep cleaning your car, but I did all that to make you happy. Don't I deserve a little reciprocation?" Jesus Christ, I married an asshole. FML
Today, the love of my life, and long term partner, sat me down and told me that he feels so comfortable in our relationship that he no longer feels the need to have sex with me, and he doesn't think that that will ever change. FML
Today, I heard the guy I love talk to a friend of his. He was telling his friend how he appreciates all my attention, affection, and random gestures such as buying him lunch sometimes, but he’ll never see me in a romantic way because I’m “too fat for his taste.” I was basically used the entire time. FML
Today, my fiancé yelled at me after I got off the phone with my friends, because I said I hadn't felt this happy and hadn't laughed this much in a long time. He was also mad that I didn't cook him dinner. He didn't ask me to cook dinner for him. He then told me to go somewhere else if I'm not happy with him. FML
Today, I got into a minor argument with my fiancé. Deciding it wasn't worth fighting over, I shrugged and said, "Really, what are we even doing this for?" To which he replied, "Honestly, I don't know. I haven't loved you in years… Oh, you meant about the fight." And just like that, I'm now single. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, my husband told me that he could not love me without sex. My love for him is utterly unconditional. My heart is just broken now. FML

so since you're doing all the wife activities without being wifey material have a seat and a glass of wine and let him take care of his own shit

Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free? And the cow cooks and cleans?

Wow, I can't imagine staying with someone I'm not serious about 5 years. What kind of deal breaker are we talking?

did you ask him what exactly is wifey material to him? btw,a statement like that sounds like he doesn't respect you. I would be making plans to get out. good luck hun.

Does he know that you want to be married? Perhaps he could be talking about your intentions rather than your qualifications. Maybe his tune might change if you told him that you are, in fact, the wifey type, and that you were hoping he was the husbandy type. He clearly recognizes value in having you around, and the subject of marriage is on his mind. But before you do that I suggest you ask yourself: Does your relationship really mean nothing without marriage? If it feels worthless without that extra bit of legal status, then it will be just as worthless and more difficult to escape from once you have it.

Well, I hope you're packing your things and leaving. He has told you straight out he will never marry you. Basically called you a POS. LISTEN TO HIM! Your love or anything that you do will change him. Go find yourself someone who treats you the way you should be treated.

Listen, and listen good. Even if he’s treated you well, acted like boyfriend/husband material, made you happy for 5 years, etc. get out and get out now. He just spoke his true colors & where he stands. He said you’re not “wifey material,” which is frankly insulting if you’ve been like a wife to him. This guy’s never going to get all the way committed to you, and even if he does, why would you want to be disrespected like that in how he views you and wait around? Heck to the no. Go live your best life & let him realize what he lost, & soon enough you’ll find someone proud to settle down with you, be committed all the way, and make it official!
