Boyfriend of 6 years doesn’t want to marry me
Advertisements
We’ve been together this long, he doesn’t want to get married. He said if I want to get married I should pay for the whole thing and it’s not going to be out of his pocket, he won’t chip not even a cent. (Money is not an issue in our household)
He says he loves me, he helps me, he’s a nice guy. But my dream is to get married someday, but he doesn’t want to.
He says he would gladly spend his life with me but not married. I am very sad and have mixed thoughts about this.
He doesn’t see a reason to get married. Not even because it is my dream. I don’t want to force him and I’m trying to understand him.

- I’m confused. Does he not want to get married or does he not want a wedding? Because actually getting married cost me like $40.
- If he doesn’t want marriage and you do cut your losses and walk away. I understand 6 years is a long time, but if he is firm about it, there isn’t much you can do.
- If you want marriage and he doesn’t then you guys aren’t compatible. One of you will end up resenting the other if you get married or stay unmarried. Marriage isn’t something you can compromise on, you’re either married or you’re not.
- Next boyfriend, ask him MUCH earlier if he wants to get married.
- Sounds like you 2 should have talked about this before waiting 6 years for something that he doesnt want to happen.
