Its pretty hard to know what he really feels when it comes to your relationship. I think you'd know if he was really committed to you but you need to have a clear head to see it.
Obviously theres something wrong with the skiing thing. You not being invited is a huge sign. The fact that your boyfriend did listen to you after all does show some promise.
I think that even if he does feel committed to you right now, i think its too early in your relationship for him to be prepared for marriage. Marriage can be a very pressuring thing for a guy. It naturally feels like some kind of entrapment for most men even when they really love the woman.

Two years is too early?? Really??
AND if a man is really in love with a woman, marriage feels like entrapment??
I can tell you for sure, I will never ever get married again if those facts are true then.
Knowing in your heart that marriage and committment was what you wanted, you were a fool to just move in with him.
The expression "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" is as true today as it was the first time I heard it 30+ years ago.
This is not as complicated as you think - you just can't see the forest for the trees right now.
Bottom line is, you two do not have the same goals in this relationship. I know what I would do in your shoes, but you are the one who has to make that decision. Good luck.

Give me a break
If a 40-something year old man needs more than 2 years to know if he wants to marry someone there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with him.

I hope your right because if men my age are supposed to be that out of touch, then I won't be wasting my time on them. I won't be putting two years of my life into something that is only going to make them feel trapped in the long run.
Why would a man get involved with a woman they know is looking for marriage, when marriage makes them feel trapped anyway??

Don't worry, I'm right Marriage does not make all men feel trapped, only the immature ones who aren't ready for it anyway.
He lived with a woman and owned a house with her for 10 years. Did not want to get married. He also contends that I was foolish for marrying my ex husband after knowing him only 9 months. I agree with that, but I don't think it's fair for someone to be punished for having been married previously. He said to me "look what happened in your marriage."
Has your boyfriend asked his friend if you can go up to the Vermont house with him? How big is this house? Does your boyfriend get his own bedroom to sleep in or is he sleeping on a sofa? Where to the three girls stay?
What if you and you boyfriend could stay at a cheap motel near the friend's Vermont house?
There are times when I don't go with my boyfriend when he gets invites out of town. Some of it is because I'm not interested in doing what they are going to be doing. Sometimes is because we wouldn't have our own room and he would be camping out on a sofa or in his sleeping bag.
