we arn't getting married or engadged anytime soon. I made a fuss about it before because i thought he was going to propose but he isn't. Now other think that its their buisness to call his sisters kids my nices and nephews which is a big deal to me because they arn't and they say things like isn't she going to be your mother in law and stuff like well he isn't the omarrying kind. Which rally pisses me off. I've told friends jokingly, when I get knocked up from livng in sin.which worked to get the point across. But i'm at a loss as what I can say that would be appropriate to other people beacause i made a big fuss about getting engaded and now its not going to happen. I'm so sick of people talking i can ignore gossip but this is just to personal and true to me and I don't want to spend the rest of my days obsessing about it.

Ask then when they are. They'll see how annoying it is.
That's what I do, but none of my friends are married, so...if they are married, try asking when they are going to have a baby/buy a house/ some other big descision.

Good for you! It is nobody else's business but yours as to when or if you ever get married.
If you interested or ready, you would be married already. Many times, it is conversation. Too many more times, it is a frustrated mom that wants more women to feel the misery that she is going through....yes, this really happened to us many times.
You can certainly say that you plan on attending college to get your degree and after that, save enough money for a nice home before getting married. Marriage tends to add pressure to college, a new career and frivilous things like...putting money in the bank for a new house.
Hold off until you are way comfortable, then talk about marriage ONLY with your fiancee'.

I agree with Lori L, you sound like the marrying kind. And if you're the one that made the fuss over being married you can't expect other people to forget about it so soon. You might have to explain that you were wrong and its not likely to happen soon and let them know you would appreciate it if they would stop asking.
Or if you don't feel like letting them know that you made a mistake and gave out happy news that didn't turn out to be true, just tell them you're not ready to discuss that step in your relationship yet.

All of the prior...or...find a guy worth your time and marry him! It sounds like you ARE the marrying kind of person. Do not settle for him, go find a GOOD guy that will committ and then you WILL have something to talk about!

I tell people "We're happy with the way things are now, why change what's working? If we decide to get married in the future I'll let you know."

If it's someone you don't have to regularly deal with, ask an obnoxiously personal question.
If you're stuck with that person just say, "When something happens I'll let you know."

That's why you never tell anyone about your personal life at all, people these days are just too obsessed with other peoples lives, the best thing to do is to blow them off.

Just say, we haven't discussed marriage... then change the subject to something about them... then they'll never shut up and forget all about you. :)

I would make a coughing sound and whilst I was coughing I would quickly say "fcuk off" into my hand.
Or maybe "fcuk off you nosy b*stards".

Q: "When are you getting married?"
A: "Why do you ask?"
If they don't have a reason for asking, you don't have a reason to answer.
