Now. Immediately. You're wasting every day of your life that you stay together.
By the way, has your partner always and consistently said that "Marriage isn't for me?" Then you haven't been listening and a lot of this wastage of time is your fault!

Do not rush marriage....I have been there.. if it is right for the both of you than it is right. Today's society couples live together longer rather than marry so soon. Some cases there is an advantage as well... Taxes...lol.. you can both file head of household separately. If you are rushing to marry and your partner is not ready..the an I would say it is not the right person for you. I was with someone for 3yrs he was killed and we planned to take things slow.. buy our house, get our education, and then maybe marry...neither of us were in no hurry because we had each other at that time. To top it off we both had two children from previous relationships..our goals were our priority. Good luck. LL.

Evidently this person just doesn't want to commit, if your wanting to get married it's best to say goodbye and find someone with the same intent as yours. Marriage isn't something to to take lightly it's suppose to be for a lifetime, be sure that is really what you want because you may end up with a person and you'll be in a living hell. You need to really know someone inside out before you commit yourself to only one person, be sure that is what you really want..

It depends really. Does the person you're dating believe in marriage? I personally don't think it's worth the money. I'm not religious and would rather spend my money on home or my family.
However, if my boyfriend (2 1/2 years) made it clear how much it meant to him, then I would go for it.
If your partner isn't in tune to your needs and wants than perhaps he/she is a little too selfish and immature?
As well if you're questioning staying with him/her all because of this marriage issue, is this something you want because you're in love? Or just a dream you've had and want to see it come true?

If you can't come to any agreements and decisions on this matter then you need to move on and find someone that really loves you and wants a commited relationship. There might be a reason why the person is stalling sit down talk and see where it goes but you deserve to find someone if the person isn't ready to take that step.

If you are seriously in love and theother party isnt you can choose to stay in the relationship longer but chances are after 2 years your chance of connecting are slim. If you really want to settle down in the near future i would suggest you move on but if you have your heart set on this one person you dont have to marry them

Depends on the views of both the parties and their intentions. If u have been living together for a few years, what prompts u to think of separating if the other partner does not want the marriage.

Why would you say goodbye? I guess because the legal status of the relationship is more important than actually being with that person? Then do him a favor and break up.

If your looking to get married, my mother told me years ago that at 2 years is the cut off. Seems reasonable, but everybody is different.

There's no magic year.
If you're unhappy, you both need to discuss your need to get married. If he doesn't want to get married, THEN make your decision.
I know some people just prefer to date for 4+ years before settling down. There's nothing wrong with that, but if you're upset, TALK TO HIM!
