Well, people got married a lot earlier back in the day and stayed married longer, so who knows? You stayed with someone for eight years waiting for who knows what to tell you it was time to get married and it never happened. If you love him and want to go through life with him, do it. If not, you’re probably just going to have the same mess you had before.

Save him the trouble of being with you and leave him.
Stop being selfish and either be ready to commit to him and respect his beliefs or go away.

you are in an area where there may be no compromise. I would try to apeal to what he can give up and try to find common ground. I AM IN THE PLAYPEN WITH MILDRED

Well first of all you both come from different countries and different beliefs, I think you should respect that. 2nd did he propose yet? or you are talking about marriage?
I have been married to my husband for the past 9 years and we never lived together before marriage and we are extremely happy.
I don’t think whether you live together or you don’t will make your marriage successful or not.
If you are looking for a compromise then you can ask him to spend the weekends at your place maybe you can see how he acts around the house or whatever you are looking for.
PS: Don’t loose a good guy for the fact that you are too scared for marriage commitment.
Good Luck,

Trust me I was raised Catholic and the guilt instilled in you from a very early age can last a lifetime. If you trully love him do some research into his culture and religion and respect him for his beliefs. If you cant at least do that for the man you “love” then you do not love him. Just because his culture and beliefs do not match yours doesnt mean that he is wrong. He has already comprimised his beliefs to be with you. A person that is unmoveable in their Catholic and cultural beliefs would not looked twice at you. I have spent most of my life overcoming the beliefs that the Catholic Church put on me while I was growing up, but you know what right now we are in lent, will I eat meat on Friday’s no I won’t neither will my 2 oldest kids. I personally do not believe in most of the churches teachings. No birth control???? no divorce????? only have *** if you are trying to procreate????? All very wrong in my eyes. But yet I still won’t eat meat on Fridays during lent. Go figure. What I guess I’m trying to tell you is that all of us raised “good Catholic” kids end up with a guilt line we cant cross. Respect him for it and maybe love him all the more for it. At least he has principals that most other men you meet will not have.
