Today, my boyfriend and I were watching a movie where a girl proposed to a guy. He said, "I would hate it if that happened to me, obviously I don't want to get married if I haven't proposed myself." I was planning on proposing later. FML

Today, I asked my girlfriend what she thought of us getting married some day. She said she wasn't sure about me yet and that we may want to go in different directions soon. We've been dating for three years and I had the ring in my pocket at the moment. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years announced that he is not ready for marriage, and won’t be for 'at least' another 2 years. Of course he waited to tell me this 2 days after he had proposed to me in front of hundreds of people, I said yes, and we announced it to all our family members and friends. FML

I've never understood why people stick around in long term relationships if they don't see it going anywhere (unless it's mutually agreed they both don't want marriage)...maybe he was joking?

"What kind of girl are you going to date next, after I dump you for being a jerk?"

Maybe that was a cover up and he's going to?

I agree, most likely he was planning on doing so, wanted to know where you stood on the topic, and tried to cover with a bad joke. Or I'm being way too optomistic, one or the other.

Hopefully he was just playing to see her reaction but that wasn't funny.

My husband and I joke like that to each other often. Sometimes he jokes in a super serious tone but is always kidding around. Hopefully it was just meant to be a joke that was taken too seriously, especially since you've been dating a while. Ask him what he really meant. Communication is key.

See what I don't get is why everyone on here is saying he doesn't like her enough to stay log term. Now it did say if "she thought she'd find somebody..." However I know people who don't one want married and the other does and in a particular case one couples been together for 9 years

People say stupid stuff sometimes. I wouldn't take it too seriously. Talk to him and if honestly never wants to marry you (or anyone for that matter) time to break up. I once asked my boyfriend if we would be together forever, and replied with "Forever is long time." Well we have been married over a year and together a total of 8 years .
