How should I tell him I don't want to get married?

Just sit him down and be totally honest, do it before the wedding plans get too far advanced, and might cause a financial conflict...GL;)

Why dont you try talking to him about marriage first, when he talks about the future and growing old and dieing with you just say, dont you think we should talk about getting married before we talk about the house with the white picked fence? Just bring it up, there might be a reason why hes timid on getting married or maybe hes talking about the future fishing around for a good way to ask you about marriage and hes worried that you might say no or something, you never know hun, just ask him if hes thought about it or if in his plans on the future if hes planning on getting married, just bring it up you might just make his day ;)

You will have to just tell them this is what I want and you are alienating the person I want to be with and the person I love. Say to them you don't have to agree with this but show me some respect and be civil to my soon to be partner. If you stand firm and maybe come a little clean about your part in the problem, this should help, but some people just are stubborn and you'll have to deal with that.

It's always going to be heard to reject someone kindly. The best advice I can give you is to be upfront, honest, and sincere with your reasons behind not wanting to be together. Tell him your true stance and feelings and he will have to accept that. He will, of course, feel hurt-that is unavoidable. The thing is that he will at least respet you being honest with him and won't  hold a grudge.\n\nIt's all about method and choice of words. If you can express your thoughts in a manner that isn't cruel or demeaning, he will feel like you respect him enough to be considerate with his feelings.\n\nNaturally he might distance himself from you for a little while, but he will eventually bounce back and get over this hurdle.\n\nGood luck and remember: Be kind with your words.

Be sweet and be yourself at all times. Don’t talk about marriage unless you have been going out for a long time and are well into your 20’s. And then only do it if you have some idea it is on his mind too. If it is meant to last it will last. ♠

Honestly and softly.  If you love him, let him know that.  Either way, be honest and just tell him the truth... you are not ready.  \n\nDo NOT take his ring and promise him anything that you can't or don't want.

Just tell him you don't want to be together anymore.  Then leave and start your new relationship.  If you are married you need to file for divorse then move on.\nYou need to have time on your own it sounds like.  Make up your mind on what you want.  Then start thinking of who you want to be with.

Because you have been willing to do it without being married silly.  You have heard this millions of times but still you do it.  Here it goes again:  Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free.  I cannot believe people (women mostly) who live with someone who won't marry them.  Ask why?  Is this person already married to someone somewhere else?  Is this person still waiting for "Ms Right"?  Do you have children?  Get some wedding invitations printed and show it to him( I figure its a male).  If he freaks out you should leave.  If he doesn't, get ready for a wedding.  Good luck.

Let it go very quickly. Get out of that relationship, he's an a===hole and won't change.  Be happy he's showing his true colours now and not when you're married.

You are not weird and I don't believe that you are ready.  People will try to tell you that it's just "cold feet"-there's no such thing.  You either want to get married and cannot wait to begin you life with that person or you don't.  If you are depressed and having doubts about doing this then you need to tell him now.  You know that what your gut is telling you is the right thing, you just don't want to hurt anyone and you're afraid that once he's gone that you will be lonely.  Think about how you will feel if you marry him and five years down the line you look at him and think I don't love this man and you want your freedom and you have two kids---Don't do it to yourself.  It's better to hurt him now, you be a little lonely than it is for you to hurt him, yourself and others later.

3 choices.\n\n1. You tolerate it.\n2. He stands up to them.\n3. You leave.\n\nThat's about it.\n\nIf you confront them yourself, you will be forever resented by them. You will be the "controlling" one.\n\nConsidering marriage?  Don't do it unless things change otherwise, you'll be dealing with this FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE - trust me.\n\nDon't use #3 as an ultimatum.  it's devious to do that if you don't mean it, but if it is a reality (you can't stand it any more), let him know.

1.Why did you get married to some one whom you don't love?\n2.If you have kids.then please don't leave the one you have married because when the kids are going to grow up then they are going to blame you for their miserable life.\n3.Tell the one you married about this ?\n4.Try to avoid the other person in you'r life because you don't know maybe the one you love love you only for you'r money.

No you need to answer his calls but also give him some breathing room maybe after a while he will feel like he really do want to get married you know what im saying still don't pressure him about the situation and let him feel like you still want him but you still need to give him some room

I would have a serious conversation with him. It would be a shame to wait another 5 years just to hear again what you're hearing now. Why doesn't he want to marry you? I would think that the prospect of marrying the person you love would make you work harder towards your goals if you know that you will be married after. Talk to him. Let him know how you feel. If marriage and children are important to you then he needs to know. He may just be nervous about commitment, but if he really loves you he will need to face that fear. Im sorry but if he doesnt feel the same way then you need to move on. I know that will be painful but its better than wasting the next 5+ years of your life hoping he will change. If he agrees to marry you, make sure its really what he wants. You will be miserableif he married you because he felt he had no choice. Best of luck.

Get rid of him he is only asking you to marry him so that you will stay around. He is afraid of losing you but does not really want to marry you. Get rid of him and move on there is a man out there that will love you more than you have ever dreamed and guess what he will not think twice when it comes to marrying you.

Tell him how you feel and ask him for a commitment but let him know he can't have his cake and eat it too.
