If he hasn't asked you in five years, there's a good likelihood he is not going to.....for whatever reason. If marriage is what you want, you need to sit down and talk to him. Most likely, the two of you will break up over this though, so weigh your options well first! Best of Luck to you!!

my, my. lots of answers saying if he hasn't yet move on. or the stupid "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". My boyfriend and i have been togehter coming up five years. We've talked about many times and marriage just isn't in the cards yet. We both want to be financially stable, have secure careers, and have a house prior to getting married. We live together, we have joint accounts so really we kinda are already married. there is no rush for us.
maybe you should sit down and talk to him to see where he thinks the relationship is going. Maybe there are still somethings he would like to accomlish before tying the proverbial knot. Remember, marriage is only a piece of paper, it's how you feel about each other that should really count.

I see several possibilities
1) He doesnt see the need to be married in todays society.
2)He is very comfortable the way things are and doesnt want to change them.
3) He is tight fisted and doesnt want to waste the money.
4)He is not sure yet (although 5 years should have done the job)
5)He doesnt love you enough but you are fun to be with :-}

It's time you sit down with him and have a serious talk about where your relationship is going.
If you want to get married, and he doesn't - it's time to move on. If he truely loves you, it wouldn't be an issue.
Hopefully it all works out for the two of you! 5 years is a long time!
Good luck.

Don't worry too much. My fiance proposed to me on our 5 year anniversary. It all depends on how old the two of you are. If you're under 30, don't worry... he wants to be "ready" before he makes this decision. For men especially, marraige is a HUGE step, and though he loves you enough to have stayed with you for 5 special years, he wants to make sure that he has enough to offer you and the family you two will build.
Don't rush him or complain to him because he may end up just doing it to make you happy and it won't be as special for either of you! You're obviously "the one" just give it some more time. Best wishes.

If you want to get married so bad then ask him. Why do so many of you gals say the same thing. When will he ask?... Why does it have to be he. Do you know the words. Are you afraid he will say no. Wake up and smell the roses babe.

He is obviously content with things the way they are. Is being married really that import to you? If you are convinced that it is, then ask him about it and tell him exactly how you feel about it

If he's getting the milk for free, why buy the cow? Maybe he doesn't want to get married. Why not ask him?

Why bother? You'll want to divorce him in less than 2 years anyway and then you have to get lawyers and divide up your debt and property. Big waste of time, at least this way, he can leave without worrying about legal council.
