    Is 7 years A Long Time NOT To Be Married?

    My girlfriend & I have been together since 2004 & I'm not no where close to wanting to get married. I enjoy the relationship but am in a "Don't fix it if it's not broken!" kind of mind frame when it comes to marriage. I've seen a lot in my 29 years of life here & kno that ppl change. What someone loved in the beginning can later be the main thing they despise.
    How long until you feel a relationship is safe for marriage lane?

    It's a long time for someone who's been waiting to get married; it isn't for someone who doesn't want to.

    I'm with you on this Kay. If you've been together 7 years and you still don't want to be married to them, I don't think marriage is the answer. You are still single in your own mind.

    Nothing wrong with staying single or living together indefinitely, IMO. It's just a waste of time to be with someone who doesn't want to get married if you do, is all. Plenty of fish in the sea, as they say.

    My experience is from being married to the same person for 34 years.

    Relationships are never safe. Danger and risk are part of adventure, which is what a life partnership is.

    Marriage is a puzzle that can't be finished. The addition of each new and interesting piece redefines the relationship.

    I'm 47. Never (yet) married. I was with someone for TEN years and we never even discussed marriage. Did very well together until she died. That was a long time ago. ALMOST got married back in 2005/2006. After being together for three years, she suddenly up and left me for another man she'd met at work...3-4 months before the big day. Took me a while to get over that too. No serious relationships for the last two years. Still, I soldier on....
