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

Goddammit, Facebook!

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

Storage wars

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

It's certainly some sort of proposal

By imaloser - 06/07/2009 23:27 - Canada

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, 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

Waiting around

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 me that he sees no future with me. It's alright though, because he says we can still "coast along" until he meets someone else. FML

I was thinking he's more of an idiot but I guess maybe he kind of an asshole.

It seems likely he has Asperger's/Autism; like myself, he thinks putting logic before other people's feelings, and does'nt fully understand what he's done. I know I've inadvertantly hurt a few partners before and I feel awful about it afterwards.

#106 I have Autism/Aspergers and I'm 100% sure that I want marriage. However, for the rest of the point, yeah I've done that too. I always manage to seem to hurt people, rather directly or indirectly, and sometimes I wouldn't even realise it until later on. I feel like such an asswipe sometimes.

If he thinks marriage is not a big deal you can propose to him. Is not that common but it happens :) good luck OP.

He's a "boy enemy" by the looks of it.

Sometimes, when a proposal is going to be a surprise, to cover for the complete obvious, a boyfriend might say he's not into marriage at all. You know him and yourself better than anyone here knows either of you. You're frustrated, I get that, but please don't take advice from strangers, including myself, who've no idea about your life.

It seems like he's an insensitive prick!!! Your best bet is to leave him now and prove him wrong!

Yes, throwing away a 6 year relationship to prove a point isn't manipulative at all! How about you grow the **** up and actually talk to your partner instead of ruining everything.
