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

Alexa, play "Rent" by Pet Shop Boys

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

FYL OP and I understand how it feels. It could have been as respectful as a "dear, we could consider that in the future", rather than a strange comment that skirts the issue altogether

Tell hi well since there is no reason to stay in the relationship you will be on your way.

Six yrs. in a serious relationship is ample time to decide if you want to be married to that person. It sounds like you agree with that. You now know how he feels. If you are really serious, tell him you feel like taking the next step. If, after six years, he doesn't want to do that, you will either have to deal with it or walk away. Just make sure you are prepared to do what you say. If you tell him you will leave, then leave, or you will have prooved what he said is true.

Take a break. It seems like he's very immature.

I personally disagree with everyone saying to leave him or take a break. Yes he's being insensitive, but boys will be boys; if you love him enough to have stayed with him for six years, then you must have something special. Make it work if it's worth it, OP!

If she wants to be married and he doesn't it's not going to work. They clearly each want completely different things out of life. Some may say it's no big deal, but those are only those who think marriage is no big deal. To those who think it is, the perspective is completely different. He isn't likely to change his mind, so the OP needs to give him an ultimatum and flat out say that if he isn't interested in getting married she can't be with him anymore.
