[quote=Anonymous]Please reread your post. Do so from the perspective of someone who does not know the person the way that you do. You have been together for almost all of your 20s who is unwilling to make the commitment you want him to make to you. If he says that he does not have his life together enough to marry you, believe him. Even if you get him to agree to marriage, you will have the same battle about buying a house, having children, etc.

I have a good friend who recently ended a relationship with someone she was very much in love with because it had become clear that he was never going to give her the commitment she wanted (marriage, children) for all the reasons your boyfriend has listed. It was heartbreaking, but not more heartbreaking than staying in a relationship that is unlikely to evolve into what you need in a relationship.

It is much, much better to be honest about expectations throughout your relationship. I think it's reasonable to have a nice time through your 20s not getting married and not being willing to make the adult plunge. Also "doesn't think he'll find anyone better"? Doesn't sound like you're the one settling. Sometimes love is not enough.
