So i'm dating a guy for 5 years and I have a huge doubt about him. We're perfect together, but there's just ONE thing that is driving me nuts. He knows I want marriage and he doesn't. I find it impossible to breakup just because of it. But even more crazy thing is that if he proposed (which he won't) I wouldn't say yes! He's just not the type of guy I would marry but I love him.

So to him this is perfect relationship and he has no clue this is driving me insane, but he should know because we talked about it. Maybe it would be enough for me he proposes and I refuse him, which is perfect for both of us. I would feel wanted and loved. But I don't want to say it to him: Why don't you ask me to marry you? So I'm kind of waiting for a miracle that will save our relationship or I wish I meet a perfect guy whom I would runaway with because the resentment is building up. Sometimes I wish he meets some girl and leaves me. I just want something to happen already!

How can I calm myself?

It's very hard to figure out what you really want when you contradict yourself in almost every other sentence.

Talk about living in misery... Tell him what you want. Then the two of you make a decision.

If marriage is important to you then after 5 years together its time to tell the guy that you aint getting any younger and its time to shyte or get off the pot,if this doesnt motivate the guy its time to move on..

So....you want him to propose to you, but you would say no because you don't want to marry him...am I missing something here?

I'm confused and I can't figure it out. He's a type of guy I will only push away if I keep going on about it. I need to let him come to me.
When we talked about it he made it clear he doesn't want marriage so it was obvious we needed to breakup if this is a deal breaker for me because it's fine for him. But I can't leave him because I'm in love and he won't go on his own, he stays even though it seems we have no future. Even when I try to push him away and say we're friends not lovers, he ignores it.

If he''s not your type, but you do want marriage with someone someday, break up with him.
