Today, I found nudes on my boyfriend's phone. We've been together 14 years. They weren't of me. FML

Well, I'd talk to him, try to see what was going on. Don't be easy to trick either, ask him for the truth, if he gives it to you. I would leave that to your morality, we all make mistakes. But it depends on how we try and fix them, if he's dishonest, dump him. But, FYL

I imagine you and your boyfriend will have a very long talk.

If he hasn't popped the question after 14 years, the relationship was already over.

That's kind of a terrible thing to say. So any couple that's been together a while and isn't married, they're relationship is meaningless and not a real relationship? Not everyone wants to get married, some are content without the contract and ceremony. Also, what if they started dating young and just weren't prepared yet? Maybe they weren't financially ready. There's lots of factors, a relationship means having companionship and caring for each other, it doesn't depend on marital status.

another thing is that maybe they started dating when they were too young to get married. maybe they don't have the money for it. maybe they're just happy with the way things are.

Not everyone wants to get married? Just because you expect it doesn't mean everyone does.

I'm honestly thinking it's from the internet **** sites if you've been together that long with no trust issues etc

He is still only a boyfriend after 14 years together?

14 years as a boyfriend? Besides that, the nudes on his phone are another indication that he has a problem committing to you.

I like the title and the song it refers to

I'm sorry but I have to agree with the people who think it's strange to have a boyfriend for 14 years straight. I know people are thinking progressive but if you're willing to be in a committed relationship for such a long time then what's with the fear of "being tied down"?

As others have already said some people just do not want to get married. There are a lot of people now that do not get married. They do not feel the need for a piece of paper to prove to everyone that they are in a committed relationship. Now that is not how I see marriage just how I have seen everyone describe it lol. Another thing people said is they could have started dating young. A friend of mine just got married to her boyfriend of 12 or 13 years. The reason they waited so long is because they had been together since they were 11. Then they also waited for her to graduate college and find a better job so they both had good incomes. There is no rule that after X amount of time of dating you need to get married

You could/should put one of those nudes as his background

People saying that it was already obvious he wasn't committed because they aren't married: maybe they didn't plan on getting married. It isn't for everyone and doesn't mean your relationship is meaningless. Also they may have started dating when they were very young. If they were, say, 15 when they started dating, they'd only be 29 now.

You've been together 14 years and he hasn't proposed to you?
