If you have been exclusive for 13 years, is it because you love her, or because she was the only woman you could find who was willing to settle for so little?
If her feelings have changed regarding marriage and children, are you willing to lose her to another man?

And you will, OP. Let her go. It is time for her to start her family with a man who loves her and actually wants to live with her and share a life with her.
It's an institution that might have made sense a few decades ago. It's completely outdated nowadays, totally rotten. It's certainly a good way to ruin a good relationship. There's stats to prove it and all.
That attitude makes me think this is a troll post, saying "there's stats, and all" to prove marriage is rotten.
If this is a real post, it seems you'd rather lose her than marry her so you should just break up with her now.

Seconded. Don't be a douche, bro. If you can't give her what she wants, it's only fair to own up to that, and and let her find someone who can give her that.
So it sounds like there's no sense in her discussing it with you then. No wonder she's not saying anything, because the only thing she would be telling you is that she's leaving. She hasn't made up her mind yet, that's all.
I am going to look at this from a different perspective. The first sentence says it all compared to the rest of the paragraph.
They are living a separate existence and have their own little comfort zones (own Apt/home and bed).Nothing like crawling into your own bed every night after maybe a roll in the hay somewhere else ( I was that way during my younger yrs)
Men need their space as the OP has shown in his post. He is content sharing some of his time with the opposite sex as have many other men which is normal. During this time other activities have been played with friends (each with their own gender) only difference here is that they are NOT Married and can retreat to their own comfort zones at night.
Just my own viewpoints as we all see things in a different light.

Have you been married or are you married? I can't imagine someone who is or has been married saying that the relationship that the OP described is anything like a marriage. Not that it matters at all - people should have the kind of relationships that are right for them. But the OP's relationship is not even close to a marriage.
